I want to share how I cooked the rice using a steamer pot. First, I put the water into the pot and turned on the burner.  Next, I measured the rice using the measuring cup, put it in the bowl, and washed it. Then, I put the water into the rice. The water and rice are the same amount.   When the water was boiling, I put the rice into the steamer.  After 15 minutes,  it was done. I let the jasmine rice cool off. I enjoyed eating rice with tofu and meat. It is very easy to make.  I would highly recommend it to my friends and family.

I enjoyed the teriyaki chicken bowl, so I decided to make my own. I bought the chicken breast. First, I cut the chicken into cubes. Then, I cooked the chicken in a pan. After the chicken had turned brown, I added the teriyaki sauce. Quickly, it was done. I put the teriyaki chicken on the steamed rice I had made earlier. I enjoyed eating the teriyaki chicken with rice.  The chicken is very juicy and tender. It has a savory-sweet, umami-rich flavor. The jasmine rice is soft, fluffy, and slightly sticky. It’s so delicious!  I had the best chicken teriyaki bowl in the world. I highly recommend it to my friends and family.

On Saturday, I joined my friend Grace's Chinese New Year party. We were celebrating the Year of the Snake. Grace's mom bought Panda Express food for us. I ate orange chicken with fried rice and beef, and I  also ate chow mein. I drank root beer and apple cider. For dessert, we had a delicious chocolate cake.  As a guest, I brought a bag of coconut rice cookies and a bag of sesame cookies.  They are unique for the Chinese New Year. We played  Mario Cart on Nintendo Switch. We played all the games. We watched the lion dance on TV. We laughed together, and we had a good  Chinese New Year Party. I got a lot of red envelopes. I enjoyed the food.  I had a blast at the party.   Happy Chinese New Year, everyone! 

Have you planted a chia pet?  Planting a chia pet is so much fun because it's like a mini gardening project. It's easy to plant with instant rewards. Let me tell you what I did. After my dad and I bought the Baby Yoda Chia Pet planter kit from Amazon, I quickly read the instructions on how to plant the chia pet. First, I soaked the chia pet planter in a bowl and set the timer on the microwave.   Next, I soaked the chia seeds in the plastic drip tray until they became gel-like. After that, I rubbed the chia seeds onto the planter.  Finally, I watered the chia plant through the planter hole. I waited for two days and noticed the green sprouts growing out. I was so excited!   But, the chia sprouts grew very wildly.  The baby Yoda was covered with green grass. I needed to rescue him.   I used my scissors to trim the plant.  It's funny and playful.         

  Our family friends visited us from Atlanta on Thanksgiving day. We went to Auntie Lucy's house for   Thanksgiving dinner.  We talked about what we were thankful for.   We had turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy, turkey stuffing, salad, baked yams, Brussels sprouts, and cranberry sauce for dinner.  After dinner, we had cherry pie and apple pie for dessert.    I played with my friends around the fireplace. We had a lot of laughter while we chatted. In the end,  Uncle Terry played music from  Charlie Brown on the piano. I had a wonderful Friendsgiving gathering.

I'm back home for the Thanksgiving holiday, a week with my family. I'm so excited to have so many activities to do.  On Sunday, I rode a bike to Qurray Lakes near my home with my dad. I t's a sunny day after two rainy days.  The white cloud looked like white cotton candy floating in the blue sky.  The lake is clear blue.   The tree is lovely in many colors, including green.  I smelled the tree bark and sweet  fresh air .  On the bike ride, I saw many people walking with their dogs and pe ople fishing in the lake.  I heard many people talking very loudly on the trail. They must be very excited to hang out with their family and friends.  Many ducks were swimming happily in the lake, and a person was riding an electric boat. I enjoyed riding my bike with my dad in the cool weather, and I enjoyed Thanksgiving break with my family.
