Poached Chicken Breast

Yesterday, I made poached chicken breast. It was delicious and easy to make.



First, I rinsed the chicken breast under cold water. 



Second, I put the chicken in a soup pot with cold water and added a seasoning bag. Inside the bag were peppercorns and a star anise. Then I sprinkled some salt into the water.



I set the temperature to high and waited for the water to boil. Then I reduced the temperature to medium-high and set a timer for 10 minutes. After the timer went off, I took the chicken out of the pot.





Lastly, I cut the chicken into small cubes. I used some in the salad and saved the rest in the small glass container. I added some seaweed seasoning to the water to make chicken soup.

Sleepover at Cal Academy of Sciences

I joined my scout’s sleepover event at Cal Academy of Sciences on Cinco de Mayo evening. Ms. Helen took Selina, Jenna, and me there, and we met other scouts at the entrance. First, we put our stuff down at Piazza. Then, we started exploration. We walked around to see the white alligator and went to the African Hall. I saw many animals, including leopards and giraffes. At the end of the hall, I saw penguins. Later, we watched a movie called Expedition Reef. After the movie, we went to the aquarium to see fish. We also went to the living roof at night. I saw a Ferris wheel far away. We listened to a storybook that was read by the museum staff. For a snack, I ate a cookie with apple juice. Finally, it was bedtime. I set up my sleep stuff first. I laid out my beach towel on the floor. I put my yoga mat on it.  And I placed the sleeping bag on the top. I went to sleep after I washed my face, brushed my teeth, and wore pajamas. The following day,  the loudspeaker woke us up. We clea...

Five-Colored Fried Rice

Image
I made the fried rice with five ingredients: seaweed, shrimp, edamame, eggs, and brown rice. These ingredients have five different colors. First, I cut the seaweed into small pieces on the big plate.  Next, I put the cooked shrimp and edamame next to the seaweed. Then I beat the eggs in a tin bowl and fried them first. After the eggs were cooked and fluffy, I added the remaining ingredients to the pan.  At last, I added salt and sesame oil for flavor.   I enjoyed colorful fried rice with  apple slices. It's savory and fragrant.

Working Out at the Palazzo Gym

Image
On Sunday, I went to the Palazzo gym to work out. I worked out on the treadmill, elliptical bike, and seated leg curl machine in the gym. I saw my friend Spencer on the treadmill and I said Hi to him. He smiled at me.     The other day, I saw my friend Ian, and I said hello to him as I was exercising on the treadmill. He said hello back.  Usually, I spend 30 minutes to one hour at the gym. I work out hard and sweat. After  working out, I feel refreshed, energized, and accomplished.  I feel safe, happy,  and  encouraged when encountering my friends there.  I will exercise daily to maintain my health and fitness.
