Baking Day

Licking fingers

My friend Mahi came over yesterday to bake some stuff with me. We baked a Thunder Cake and Chango Bars. Both of them came from stories in our reading book at school.

The Secret Ingredient!

Thundercake is a story by Patricia Polacco. It is about a girl who is afraid of the thunder. Her grandma makes a cake with her so that she won't be afraid of the thunder because she is busy cooking. There is a special ingredient in Thundercake, tomatoes! At first I thought I wouldn't like the cake because of the tomatoes. It was excellent though.

Getting it all the way covered

Chango bars come from a story called Jalapeño Bagels by Natasha Wing. Jalapeño Bagels is about a boy wondering what he can bring to school to eat on Heritage Day. His mom and dad have a bakery. His dad is Jewish and his mom is Mexican. They bake things in their bakery that are Mexican and Jewish. The boy finally decides to bring Jalapeño Bagels because they are a mixture of both of his parents. We didn't make the bagels but we did make another recipe in that book called Chango Bars. Chango bars are like chocolate chip cookies but in bars not in cookie shapes. I don't like them because they have nuts. My Bubbe likes them though. She goes nuts for NUTS!

After we baked, Mahi and I painted picture frames and then we played.

If you want the recipes for these desserts you can go to my Mom's blog HERE and get them. You should try them. They are delicious!

Dear Sabina,
We are students in room 19 at Grace Miller school. Mrs. Davis is our teacher. We liked your blog because we are reading the same stories in our anthology. We ate chango bars in our class and we all liked them except for Luke. Elijah took out the nuts because he's not nuts for nuts.

We like avid reading in our class. That's SSR time. One of our favorite series is Junie B. Jones. Weird School books are great too. Do you know about those?

Alexis is in our class. She says she will write you back soon.

We wish we could see you sometime! Thanks for sharing your blog.

Yours Truly,
Room 29 students
