Martial Arts Camp

Image
I joined the two-week Martial Arts Camp. We warmed up first. Then the young master taught us Shaolin Kungfu. I learned the horse stance pose.  It’s hard after a few seconds. I also learned to make fists in a ready pose and throw the punches.  Then the young master taught us some animal poses: dragon pose, cheetah pose, and snake pose. After finishing each class, we bowed to each other to show respect. Although I was tired, I enjoyed the martial arts practice. I felt I had a lot of power when I yelled," Ha!"

Chocolate Muffins

Image
My mom bought all the ingredients to make chocolate muffins because she had been craving them. My mom bought all the ingredients to make chocolate muffins, but she was too busy to do it. My mom bought all the ingredients to make chocolate muffins, so I used them and made them for her.     

Sheet Pan Monterey Jack Un-Fried Chicken

Image
This un-fried chicken is juicy and tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside. I washed carrots and potatoes. Then I cut the potatoes into thick wedges and the carrots on a diagonal into  1/2-inch-thick pieces. I mixed the panko crumb, Monterey  Jack Cheese, and the ranch spice.     I roasted the vegetables in the oven. I coated the chicken with panko mixture and baked the chicken. I made Sriracha mayo sauce by combining mayonnaise with sriracha. The Chicken was delicious and fresh out of the oven.

My Friend Kayleigh Visited Me

Image
My friend Kayleigh visited me yesterday.  My mom got us a pizza for lunch. After lunch,  Kayleigh heard the ice cream truck's music,  so we went to buy ice cream. We walked around our neighborhood,  but we couldn't find it. Then we went to Boba Queen. I ordered strawberry green tea, and Kayleigh ordered the passion fruit tea.     After we got home,  we listened to music and played the piano. The song we played was a runaway song from YouTube. Then, we watched funny videos on YouTube. A bald guy was drinking  orange juice and making a funny burping sound. We laughed so hard because the sound was so weird. At last, we had a wonderful dinner. We ate roasted beef, green bean,  fried rice, and chow mein. For dessert, we had watermelon.  I felt so happy about my friend's visit.  I'm looking forward to hanging out with her again soon.

Southwest Beef Cavatappi with Poblano and Smokey Red Pepper Crema

Image
I cooked this creamy and delicious pasta dish. I washed the poblano and scallions, sliced the poblano, and chopped the scallions. I  put the cavatappi in boiling water until al dente. I  made the sauce by cooking the poblano and the beef in a pan.  Then I stirred in the drained cavatappi with the sauce in the pan. Finally, I divided the pasta between bowls, topped it with scallion greens, and served it.   

Happy Father's Day

Image
Today is Father’s Day. I bought gifts for my dad: Persian pastry and a pen with the words on it. I love my dad because he always supports me. My dad rides the bicycle with me, reads books with me, watches TV with me, and cooks with me occasionally. I love him so much! I wish him a happy Father's Day!

An Outing to Saratoga

Image
On Friday, my mom and I went to  Saratoga with my friend Selina and her mom Helen. We had brunch at the Bell Tower Cafe. I ordered the Cubano panini with soup of the day. My mom ordered the Philly sandwiches with French fries.   I liked my combination because t he panini had pleasant texture and the soup had pasta and fresh vegetables. But, m y mom said her sandwich was dry.    After brunch, we went to Villa Montalvo, a vast mansion.  It looks in European style and has very fancy doors, white columns, and sculptures. We hiked to the back hill. On the way back, we saw many bird houses on the big pine tree.   After hiking, we went to the Kandoo Patisserie.  We ate a variety of Persian desserts. I enjoyed the outing with my friend.    

Griddled Onion Cheeseburgers

Image
Today’s dinner is griddled onion cheeseburgers. After I washed the vegetables, I cut the potato into wedges, sliced the tomato, and diced the onion. I roasted the potatoes in the oven. Then I made the sauce. At last, I formed the beef patties and cooked them. I sprinkled the cheddar cheese on top of the patties and filled the toasted buns with them. The cheeseburgers are very fresh and delicious.

I visited the de Young Museum to see Bouquets of Art: A Flower Dictionary from the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.

I washed, dried, and cut the carrots. I  zested and cut the lemon. I  roasted the carrots in the oven.  I mixed the panko crumb. I coated the chicken with the bread crumb. I roasted the chicken in the oven. I cooked the couscous with butter. I put the chicken,  carrots, and couscous on the plate.  \ The food was savory and delicious.  

Pub-style Shepherd’s Pie

Image
First, I diced the carrot, onion, and potatoes and trimmed the thyme leaves. Then I made the mashed potatoes. And I cooked the vegetables with the ground beef. I put the vegetables and beef filling into a baking pan, topped it with the mashed potatoes, and sprinkled it with cheddar cheese.   Finally, I broiled the shepherd’s pie in the oven for five minutes. The pie was delicious.
