Me.

I am me. Me I am. My body is a lead pipe slowly sinking to the bottom of an ocean. My nose is a small burning fire scorching inside of me. I am nervous my stomach is better a gymnastics than me...I am nervous for girl's camp. I am green than Ireland I am green because of my cousins. I could sleep until the end of time. I am tall I am small. I am loud yet quiet. I want to be noticeable but yet sometimes I'm not. I can get beet red or ice cold. I feel like a jack in the box when I'm surprised but yet also when I'm scared. I am unique yet not. One time after another I get mad sad happy gleeful jealous hatred rage surprised love and scared. I am a human and yet I'm me. I am one of a kind not one in a million or seven in the world. I will one day be special but for now I'm me.

Colors Of The Week

Monday: Monday was a brown day. Brown for building. We worked on the Club House which still isn't finished. But it is also red for Masterchef!
Tuesday: Tuesday is gray because nothing happened on Tuesday. But it is also red for Masterchef as well.
Wednesday: Wednesday is blue because I worked at the Library and the shirts are blue. Wednesday is also bright pink because I got to have a sleepover with Merry that lasted more than 24 hours.
Thursday: Thursday is also bright pink because of the sleepover but also because I went to All Star Adventures with Merry! But the day ended on a puke green note because I got sick.
Friday: Friday is blue again because I worked at the Library. But it's also bright green because I earned money from babysitting!
Saturday: SATURDAY IS GOLD FOR VICTORY BECAUSE I CAN ALMOST ALWAYS SWALLOW THINGS WITHOUT CHEWING!!! WHICH MEANS SOON I WILL BE ABLE TO SWALLOW PILLS!!!!!!!!!!
Sunday: Sunday is green and blue because it's FATHER'S DAY! And those are my dad's favorite colors ( I think.) Sunday is also black because I can't make the type white for church. And it's purple because we're going over to dinner at the Austin's.

Hope You have a great Father's Day!!

Molten Chocolate Cake (Yum!)

Ingredients

  • 7 1/2 ounces imported bittersweet chocolate (preferably El Rey or Valrhona), coarsely chopped
  • 11 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut in large pieces
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
  • 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour, sifted

 

 

 

 

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Butter and flour six 6-ounce custard cups.
Place 5 1/2 ounces of the chocolate and the butter in a metal bowl, and set it over a pan of simmering water. Stir until melted and smooth. Cool slightly.
Using a standard electric mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs, yolks and sugar at medium-high speed until they are pale and thick, about 10 minutes.
Reduce the speed, and gradually mix in the flour.
Add the chocolate mixture to the flour mixture, and continue to beat until thick and glossy, about 5 minutes.
Divide half of the mixture among the prepared custard cups. Divide the remaining 2 ounces of coarsely chopped chocolate among them, placing the chunks in the very center of the chocolate mixture (there should be about 1 tablespoon of chopped chocolate per custard cup). Then top with the rest of the chocolate batter.
Bake until the cake is set around the edges but the center jiggles slightly when the cup is moved, about 12 minutes. Cool slightly (no more than 5 minutes).
Run a sharp knife around the edges of the cups. Turn the cakes out onto plates, and serve.
