Well, now to the good stuff. In Consumer Science, which is my second period class, we were baking Snickerdoodles. Snickerdoodles are cookies made of oil, sugar, flour, and cinnamon. What I think is awesome about Snickerdoodles is that it is made out of cream of tartar, which is a powder that is left behind when making wine, and it isn't alcoholic! My friends started to joke around after the teacher said that because they said they both went drunk after drinking root beer (Is that possible?). Our teacher told us that we wouldn't be able to finish it in one day, so we only worked on the first 3 steps, which are below :

I did not post all 5 steps yet because I want you guys to see the result before trying it out for yourself. I will have my next consumer science class in 2 days, so if you want the rest of the recipe check out this blog in 2 days! After the first step my group came out with this :
After going half way through the second step my group had this :
And then when we mixed them together we had this :
Sorry if the angle of photography is bad, but I had to take it with my school Chromebook, and it only had a camera on the computer screen side. You can see the guy that is holding the two bowls before they were mixed, I haven't asked weather or not I can give his real name yet, since giving the information could be harmful to him, so I might be able to post his name tomorrow.
For English class today we had to brainstorm ideas of what to write about in our monthly realistic fiction short stories. I thought up a lot of idea and then narrowed it down to nuclear war (Choice A) or a guy going through the experience of being hacked and losing everything he has (Choice B). I have created a vote screen on the side of this article to Choose A or B. Thanks for reading guys!
