3 WEX entree

Entree 1:
With warm water lapping around our legs my cousin Preston and I tried to catch fish with a clothes hamper. It was getting dark out and fog was emitting from the dark glistening pond. The sound of crickets, cicadas, the crackling of a fire, and the chatter of people filled the night sky and we can smell ripe sweet corn cooking on the fire, our nostrils inhaled the delicious aroma. Our mouths watered as we climbed up the steep wet grassy hill, we can hear our aunt Robin calling for the kids saying that the corn is ready. Me and my cousin now are running up the hill to get some corn. I can see excitement in the brown eyes of my cousins face his brown hair matting down on his forehead as he quickly ran up the hill. When we got to the group we quickly grabbed and peeled the corns hot wet husks right off and sank our teeth like a hot knife on butter into the rich sweet corn feeling watery bits from the corn dribble down our chins like a three year old eating a watermelon. After four or five corn ears we went back down the hill and laid in the wet grass and fell asleep in the warm summer night air.

Entree 2:
Ten, nine, eight went the clock a deep pit feeling in my stomach of excitement and nervousness thinking that we would finally make a big breakthrough in science seven, six, five, four clasping my hands together I looked side to side at my partners I could see Gabe's excited expression as the count down commenced. Three, two, one "KABOOM!" A deafening sound of and explosion blasted in our ears as we shot off into the sky, watching the world that we once knew disappear. After several hours of waiting in the ship we finally landed. The door opened and we stepped out into the night but we quickly ran back in side the ship because it wasn't night but the sky had been polluted with a dense and thick layer of dust. As we looked around in our oxygen tanks we turned on lights and started searching for people when "AAAGGGHHH!" I cried as I started plunging into the darkness of a deep, deep pit. I awoke to the sound of small strange voices. Looking around I saw small glowing neon fuzz balls with eyes feet and little antennas sticking out of their heads. When they saw that I had awoken they scattered running away. "Huh?" I replied confused " That's weird." Stumbling across the nearly smooth ground I bumped into Gabe and the gang, They had been looking for me, so we started walking back when we bumped into humongous bolder filled with many unnatural holes. Wondering what had happened we saw a small, bony, and withered man appear around the bolder and he told us to follow him. When we asked what had happened he told us that Halley's comet had hit earth nearly destroying all life here. After he finished explaining we decided to head back home and warn everyone of the impending destruction that the comet do.

Entree 3:
Running, no speeding down the dim dusty road the air was filled with the sound of feet stomping the earth and angered voices, voices of men, shouts and screams, the shouts of bandits. Four men dressed in raged garbs and broken armor ran down the dirt road brandishing blood rusted weapons. Not far up ahead a young girl was running carrying her shoes to run faster her arms filled with food and water. Behind her the shouts of the bandits grew angrier "Get here you little wench! We want some food now give it to us!" yelled one of the bandits while waving a katana in the air. "Yeah we just wanted a little food and water we won't hurt you!" another said coyly. Knowing that they were rotten dirty bandits she kept running. A drought had entered the land and it turned even the most kind and civilized man into a blood thirsty bandit and a thief. Suddenly her foot got caught on a clod of dirt, her arms flew up into the air and the food and water went up as well scattering everywhere. She collapsed skidding across the warm hard dirt road scrapping her elbows and knees. As dust flew into the air food fell to the ground making dents into the weak earth. Gathering around her thy laughed horribly the girls body shaking violently with fear as the bandits neared. Suddenly the clopping of a horses hoofs were heard in the distance and a man in a samurai suit road quickly toward the group giving a war cry holding a large weapon in his hand. The bandits ran like dogs with their tails between their legs knowing that the skill of a samurai warrior completely out matched them. When the man reached them only the girl was left the bandits ran far away leaving their weapons behind. When the girl looked at him she saw that he was just wearing some pots and pans and he was laughing hard, so hard that the pots and pans were banging together wildly. Pulling off the cut out bucket from his head he held up a large horse radish and said " I knew this would come in handy".

Cooking Our Herbs

Hey it's me here to tell you all about how to make a delicious appeitizer for those impacient waiters that want to get a hold on some food, or just a little afternoon snack that has a little zest and good flavor. I made some basil butter a pretty simple food not cooking at all just a bit of blending with a food processor and a few simple steps in which you can read here or online:
Ingredients:( the recipe will be a lot smaller here than on the web site)
1 1/3 cloves of garlic
5 leaves of freash basil (I used sweet basil.)
1/8 to 1/4 tps of pepper depending on what your useing
5 1/2 of a stick of butter (NOT MARGARINE)
Place garlic, basil, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the garlic is in small bits. Add the butter, and process just to mix together.
Sorry the pictures are probably not in order and that white blur is my dog he was begging me for some.

This I Believe

I looked at many and it seemed liked it took forever and I couldn't find one that really conected with me. When I read Tony Hawks I Beleive Essay I really just struck me as personal because he just wrote about how he was always pursueing his dream even though others would put him down and that was really some thing special for me.
