Frying Chicken Nuggets and Home Fries

Disclaimer:  Do not attempt to try this at home if you are a minor. 
These nuggets are mainly for my little brother who is allergic to wheat and milk and eggs.  My mom said she gets really tired of cooking two separate meals so she makes us eat my brother's allergy free food all the time.  That's okay mostly especially when she cooks things like chicken nuggets and home fries for lunch.  But some things I don't like.  Like his spaghetti or his bread.  

My father suggested to my mom that I begin helping her cook.   So this is me helping.  I asked my mom if we could cook one of my favorite dishes this week and she said yes.  So visit me again to see what I will be cooking.

 

Top 5 Gross List

Grossology Facts 
From Grossology And You,
By Sylvia Branzei 


5. Have you ever eaten blood? No? Are you sure? What about Blood Sausage. Or Blood Pudding, which is enjoyed by some people in Europe. It is sweetened and baked blood from a pig or cow. How about blood bread? It's bread soaked in blood, then fried and it's quite tasty.

Unless of course it's over fried. Then it's kind of like eating scabs. Eeeuuw!




4. Maggots Love Rotting Meat. Before there were antibiotics, Maggots were sometimes used to clean up pus-filled wounds. Munch, munch. All Clean! Warning rotting meat link is grossly gross but really interesting.


3. In 1793, a French girl was born with one eye in the center of her forehead. Her one eye worked just fine for fifteen years until sadly she died.

2.Most people pass gas or fart about 14 times a day. That's about 98 times a week.  And around 392 times a month.  A fart is gas escaping from your backside.  The gas comes from bacteria breaking down food in your intestine. Sometimes it isn't your tummy that you hear rumbling or gurgling. It's your intestines, and that sound is called borborygmi, a.k.a. gut opera.


1. Egyptian mummies in museums are all brainless. To help preserve the bodies, the brains were removed. Long hooks were used to pull the brains out through the nose.  

3 New Monitors In One Day!

So my father got 3 new monitors yesterday. He is going to use them as one big screen. It's called infinity and he has four monitors now, including his work one, though he only has two computers. 
 
The whole point of the big monitor set-up was to be able to play games at high definition. His games are now huge! Now I got Daddy's old game monitor! It's huge! YEAH! 

This is dad's old monitor that he gave me. 

But anyway, everyone in my house has a computer except my little brother because he broke his. 


You see, when my Grandma was here last year, my mother, and little brother and Grandma went to a toy store while I was at school. They saw a toy tool set. My brother got it. Then, my Grandma said something that ruined the whole thing, "Now, deary, you can fix your computer!" Well, it sank into his head, and a few days later when I was in my room playing UNO with my Grandma, we heard banging sounds coming from my brother's room. We figured he was just banging toy screws from another tool set that I had as a baby. 


The banging grew louder. I walked into his room and jumped. His monitor was a blur of lines and colors! It was making strange sounds! A very expensive monitor gone, in only a few weeks worth! It was a computer my father had built for him, he built most of the computers in the house, but he is not going to build my brother another computer for a while.

Here is a picture of the three monitors together.  My little brother was playing this racing game. 

Just Dance!

I love the Wii video game Just Dance. We played it AT SCHOOL before Christmas Vacation. BEST DAY EVER! (Next to the last day of school and the carnival). It was fun. My fourth grade class played against the other fourth grade class. I went against Jennifer. She picked the song. Bebe, by Divine Brown.


Here is a brief part of the song me and Jennifer used.





I don't have a Wii, and I don't really want one. I want a puppy or a kitten!

Funky Accessories.

  I love this new purse its so funky.  We went to the movies this weekend and got there so early we had a chance to shop for cloths.  I forgot about a Justice gift card for $25 I had from my last birthday party.  I used it to buy the purse with the J's on it. The pink purse we bought at Claire's last week.  It's so funky and cool I love it.  The lip gloss, pink nail polish and candy necklace are the finishing touches to a fabulous look.  

 Last week while my mother was looking for something else we walked past a shoe store that was having a huge shoe sale.  I got these Twinkle Toes by Skechers.  My mother picked out a pair of shoes for my little brother but he didn't like them and he had a bad tantrum right in the store. Everybody was looking.  He just kept screaming and crying.  I was so embarrassed.  His tantrum lasted until we got home.  My mother was so mad at him.  Sometimes he is such a big baby.  I can't believe he is five because he acts like he is two.  


Inside the shoe box was a Twinkle Toes & Friends comic book.












  YEAH!

Okay, so somebody commented saying how she wanted me to play my saxophone while standing on one leg. Here it is. 

The Fourth of July

We didn't really do anything super great on The Fourth of July.  For those who live outside of America click here for an explanation of The Fourth of July.  This is funny and my mother said it would come on the T.V. when she was a kid.  

This is a picture my dad took of me and my brother with sparklers.

HEY!

VOTE! Yeah I'm talkn' to you!

Visit To The Barnes Foundation

Last week my family and I traveled to Philadelphia to see the art collection at The Barnes Foundation. Kobe Bryant spent part of his teens in Lower Merion, Philadelphia where The Barnes Foundation is.  So for my little brother who loves the Lakers we went to visit Kobe Bryant's old High School.


My mother really loves art, she said in another life she would have been a starving artist.  I like art too but I like to draw it more than I like to look at it.
My favorite art piece was this one.  Mom says she doesn't remember this one at the Foundation but I do..............
Aline and Pierre by Auguste Renoir.

What's For Dinner? Calamari!

Woah!!!  Did you say octopus? 
Yep that's what I thought you said. Calamari is a cousin to the octopus. Actually I really love squid, or Calamari, that's what the restaurants call it.  


My mom tells me that my first experience with Calamari was at Leona's Restaraunt on East 53rd Street in Hyde Park, Chicago, Illinois.  


We were moving away so it was actually our last restaurant meal there.  She said, my dad and her ordered the Calamari as a appetizer and I ate nearly all of it.

Here is a video I made of an octopus at the supermarket that we couldn't have for dinner. Because mommy was way to tired to cook it.
