“…She said that I was too forward when she was even more so. She said my dresses were too short when hers were even shorter…”
-The Diary of Anne Frank
In the Secret Annex there are many people. You have Mrs. and Mr. Frank, Mrs. and Mr. Van Daan, Peter, Mr. Dussel, and Anne. I believe that the annex has some jealousy in it. Mrs. Van Daan is constantly correcting Anne so that she can be even better. She doesn’t want Anne to be even close to how she acts.
I am so excited that our spring break starts on Friday or Thursday at 3:00pm! Even though I am not leaving until later in the week, I am so ready for the sleeping in mornings! I am going away for break. I’m skiing in Vancouver, Canada! Well really at the Whistler Resort in Vancouver, Canada. I am really excited to see more than the fourth of the centimeter of snow that we get here. I love skiing. My favorites are blacks! When we ski my dad and I leave my mother and brother, Bo, alone in the dust. We go and try to conquer the entire mountain, while my mother and Bo stick with the greens and blues. If you don’t know this is how the difficulty rating works: Green-easiest runs on the mountain, Double Green- a tad harder than green, but is still very slow moving, Blue-intermediate beginners, Double Blue-intermediate, Blacks-hard, Double Blacks-hardest runs on the mountain, said to be professionals only but I have done a few and I am no where close to being a pro at anything. That is enough about my spring brak, now what are you doing? Staying at home, going to South America, what?
Have you ever seen one of those people who looks just like the dog. Their hair color, outfit, etc. What would a YOU dog look like. Would it have black hair, blonde hair, sunglasses? Here are some dolled up dogs! Mine would have blondish, brown hair and a purse and cute shoes(I love purses and shoes). What would your dog be. I mean hair color, outfit, accessories, and anything else! What can you come up with?
Dog or cat, cat or dog? Which is your favorite? Personally I love dogs. I have a doggie and he is so sweet. He has luxurious black and white hair and plays around all day. I have been around a lot of cats. Some are nice and some are mean but a dog can always forgive you unless you train them to be mean in the first place. Not to mention they are known as woman’s(man’s) best friend. They are kind, loyal and very lovable creatures. So, this is a video of a swarm of puppies and a cat. Nothing major happens but it gives you an illustration of cats and dogs. Luckily the cat is picked up just in time. So now I want to know what you think. Kitty cat or puppy dog(dog or cat)?
We all know how a normal persons life is. Get up and ready, work, eat, eat more, and end with going to sleep. What about a dog? Of course like us they get up and eat but what else? To demonstrate what I think a dog’s life would be like I will use the characters, Pablo and Ramsey. Meet Pablo! The other larger dog that you are going to see is Ramsey! We are going to follow there day today! Let’s start the day with waking up the owner of the dogs… Eventually you just get bored and start running around. As you may see some things are different but some are the same. Unlike us dogs get to have fun all day. Playing and barking. But we all eat, sleep, and breathe. This is my version of a dogs life. 1. Get up 2. Wake up people 3. Dog Treats 4. Arguments over bones and treats 5. Playtime 6. Sleep and eat! I want to see if you can come up with a really good doggie schedule. I am looking for THE FUNNIESTTHE MOST SERIOUS(ONE I ACTUALLY BELIEVE)ALL OF THE ABOVESee who comes up with the best!
If I had to chose a dog that I would be I would be a french bulldog or jack russell terrier(a french bulldog is way way different than a normal bulldog).I would be a french bulldog because I love all thing french. Paris, bagettes, and the Eiffel Tower. French bulldogs are not the biggest dogs either. They are known to be really good companions and stay at your side when you need it.I could also be a jack russell because they can get hyper and are known as dogs that can’t sit still. They are also extremely active like me! But they can get a little intense at times. Now it’s your turn. If you were a dog what type of dog would you be and why? If you are stuck here are some dogs to think about using: Siberian Husky, Pug, Poodle, Jack Russell, Mini Pincher, Great Dane, Golden Retriever, Dalmatian, Dachshund, Collie, Chihuahua, Bulldog, Bichon Frise, Beagle, German Shepard, and French Bulldog If you need even more ideas click here and you will see a big list of dogs!More dogs tomorrow in dog week!
We are starting a new theme week of… Dogs!To start it of with some pug videos. They are so adorable! Their black fur shines and sparkles. Here is another!This is hilarious. The very end is the best! I just want to sleep! HaHa!The last is a bunch of adorable puppies messing around. Tomorrow will be a new dog and more videos and pictures! Bye!
This is a song that is in chinese. I take chinese and understand some of it. Watch it! It’s a little different but it shows you that they have rapper and singers like us.
If you like ahi tuna or really want to try it this is the way to do it!
The Recipe!
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
Coarse salt and cracked black pepper
1 medium Napa cabbage
1 bag shredded carrots
1/2 cup basil leaves, torn into quarters
1/2 cup mint leaves, torn
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
4 tablespoons black and white sesame seeds
1 pound ahi tuna steaks
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
How to make it:
In a large salad bowl, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and sesame oil. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Cut cabbage in 1/2 lengthwise and slice into thin ribbons. Place cabbage, carrots, basil, mint, and cilantro in the bowl with the dressing. Toss to combine. Set aside.
Pour the sesame seeds out onto a plate. Press the tuna into the seeds on both sides, pressing gently so the sesame seeds stick.
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add fish to pan and cook until rare, about 2 minutes per side. Alternatively, cook until done to your likeness. Slice thin and distribute among 4 serving plates. Serve with a generous portion of Napa cabbage slaw.

This is a recipe for Coconut Cupcakes
They are delicious!
Ingredients:
3/4 pound (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups sugar
5 extra-large eggs at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons pure almond extract
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup buttermilk
14 ounces sweetened, shredded coconut
For the frosting:
1 pound cream cheese at room temperature
3/4 pound (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
1 1/2 pounds confectioners’ sugar, sifted
How you make it:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition. Add the vanilla and almond extracts and mix well.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In 3 parts, alternately add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the batter, beginning and ending with the dry. Mix until just combined. Fold in 7 ounces of coconut.
Line a muffin pan with paper liners. Fill each liner to the top with batter. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until the tops are brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Remove to a baking rack and cool completely.
Meanwhile, make the frosting. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, on low speed, cream together the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla and almond extracts. Add the confectioners’ sugar and mix until smooth.
Frost the cupcakes and sprinkle with the remaining coconut.
ENJOY!
