Food

Potatoes are such a wonderful discovery. I mean potatoes go with almost everything and there are so many ways you could cook potatoes and eat them too. There are mashed potatoes and baked potatoes. You could also cut them and bake them into homemade French fries. Homemade French fries are they best kind of fries out there. They are better than McDonald’s French fries or Arby’s French fries, just about any kind of French fries out there. There are so easy to make and so much less expensive. You could buy half the fries you could make for the same price. So in the long run you are making twice as many French fries as you bought at a local fast food place. Potatoes are just a wonderful discovery that anyone could ever have made.
            Now along with the wonderful discovery of potatoes, there is another amazing invention slash discovery. This discovery is called popcorn. Popcorn is also the one of the most amazing thing ever since life spread. You can do so much with popcorn. You can decorate a tree with popcorn. Sting them onto a string and then string the stringed popcorn on to the tree. It adds so much to the decoration of the tree. Then you can have movie theater popcorn or homemade popcorn. The best kind of homemade popcorn is air popped popcorn. You can also make caramel popcorn. Caramel popcorn is just amazing. Another kind of amazing popcorn is cheese popcorn. There is this kind of powder cheese that you can buy and put it on it. Cheese popcorn is a very yummy treat at movies.
            Another kind of amazing food is bananas. You can also do so much with bananas. You can make banana splits, banana cookies, banana bread and oh my so much more. I just can’t think of living life without bananas. Oh and one day my brother, Garry, told me that you can bite off a piece of the banana and in your mouth you can split it into 3 equal parts in your mouth. It is so much fun to do. I could eat bananas all day and do just that, split bananas into three parts. I found this poem that just about sums it up about bananas.
Sweet Banana Splits
Egyptian; Candie's                                             
Chaste marshmellows
Delicious...
Autumn's shaved ice
French vanilla cream
Covered with, German
Soft milk chocolate's...
Virgin Italian cherries
Soaked; coconut rum
English pineapple bits
Melting in our mouths
Swirling intoxications...
Asian strawberries
Spanish caramel
Candie's; African mints
In, Autumn's native cream...

...Sweet banana splits *
Then here is one about potatoes.
Potatoes, potatoes
So tasty, so small
Turn them into chips
And make them warm.
                                                             Potato
Potato. Potato, lovely and round,
You come out of the ground.
Peel off the rot, and put it in the pot.
Go to a seat, and get ready to eat.
If they are made precise,
They should be nice.

Meat

Meat is one of the food groups that you need. However, some people don’t like a lot of meat. For example I don’t like most of the meat that is out there in the world. I don’t like any kind of sea food so that clears up fish, sushi, shark, octopus, shrimp ect. Meat with a lot of fat on it is just gross. Why would you buy something that you would have to alter which in the end having only half of the food left to eat?
                I’m going to tell you a story about a time at school with their meat. So I used to be able to eat their meat without any problem. I even enjoyed eating it. Then one day I was eating lunch with one of my friends, Erin, and she said that she had a run in with the school’s meat. She said that she found something of a bone. Erin wasn’t quite sure but all she knew was that it was hard and pinkish white. Since then I started finding those in my meat. I have never eaten the school’s meat since then. Now she and I, mostly me, dissect the meat. We always find those mystery bone things in there every time. So we started to call the meat at school the mystery meat.
                Now done with the story I will now tell you guys why I don’t like a lot of meat. I don’t like chicken very much anymore because one time I found a huge bluish purple vein in the chicken. I bit into the chicken not knowing it was there. So I looked at the chicken to get another piece and that’s when I found that there was a vein sticking out of the chicken and that I had eaten a little bit of the vein. Now I only eat chicken after looking at each piece closely. But since that is very tiring to do, I rarely eat chicken anymore.
                I don’t like steak either. I don’t see why someone would spend a lot of money on a piece of meat and only eating a fourth of it. There is so much fat that is on there you spend more time getting the fat off than eating the meat. That and that I just simply don’t like steak is why I don’t eat it.
                I don’t like sausage very much either. It depends on the day if I will eat it or not. Sometimes I will eat just a little and other times I won’t even consider it. I think that sausage just tastes like rubber. It could bounce on the floor.
                I don’t like bacon a lot either. I know you are probably think what does she like. Well I will tell you later. Well bacon I don’t mind eating if it is cooked right. It has to be almost burn to be ok to eat, because I don’t like having all the fat on there and tasting it.
                The only kind of meat that I love is hamburger. I don’t know why but it just is the perfect kind of meat.

High school


High school is going to be a big change for me. I am excited and nervous for this change. Last week I went and talked to the counselors at Davis for my classes. However, first of all I was very lucky to be able to get to go to Davis. I am in Layton high’s boundaries, so I put in a variance. Some of my mom’s friends that work there told us that there was a lot of variances and that they were only taking a handful of variances. My mom and I got nervous that I would not be able to get in. The main reason that I wanted to get in was for their marching band there. Ok so a couple weeks later we got a letter in the mail that said that I was accepted into Davis High School. I was so happy that it wasn’t even funny. Well I guess it was. Back to the counselors, so with them I picked out my schedule and classes that I wanted.
One of the classes I picked was Chemistry honors. I am really nervous about this class. I do not do well with chemistry. My mom said that it will prepare me well for later science classes. My brother loves chemistry so he will be able to help me with the class. Although, next year if I need help with my other classes he won’t be able to help me, because, he will be on his mission.
My other class is AP world history. This is my class that is going to give me the most stress in my life.
Next I have English 10 Honors. I am not too worried about this class. I do pretty well in English, even though it is my least favorite class.
Then I have algebra 2 honors. I am not too worried about this class either. I do fairly well in here too. So if I have problems I have people that will be able to help me with it. I think that this will be a fun class.
Next I have band. This will be my best class because I will be able to play my sax and just have fun. I am though, not looking forward to all the tests that I will have to take. For instance the scales test and what not.
Then I have seminary. I think seminary will be another fun class and I will enjoy it a lot. I have enjoyed seminary this year in the 9th grade, so I think I will like it next year. But we will just have to see.
Spanish 4, an interesting class. I have done ok with Spanish 3. However, I have always had the same teacher all three years that I have taken Spanish. So we will just have to see how it goes.
Then I had the health class for 10th grade. I am looking forward to this class because they subjected it for what I want to go into.
I think that high school will be fun new experience. I can’t wait for it to be here.
