Russian Experience

In this entry I'm going to speak about an english proyect we had to do at school.It was about nutrition in different countries and my group chose Russia,Which is reaaly interesting.


My group work found a lot of diffrerent recipes from Russia but they didn't look nice at all and finnaly we found a recipe called kremsils,they look like crepes but they are thicker and sweeter.


The recipe is:
-Ingredients:
tablespoons butter
large eggs
cups milk
cups matzo meal
½ cup cottage cheese (4 oz)
¼ cup finely chopped pecans or ¼ cup walnuts
½ tablespoon pure vanilla extract
teaspoon salt
teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
maple syrup (optional)
granulated sugar (optional)

-Method:

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan ,after that turns off the heat .You have to break some eggs into a mixing bowl  then you have to beat it until it has a lemon colour.Add milk, , cottage cheese, butter, nuts, vanilla and salt to the mixing bowland beat it until it gets smooth.You have to turn the heat on to moderate the het and drop the mixture into the pan ,fry both sides until it gets golden in both sides.hen you are going to eat them you can add chocolate  siroup or sugar .


Now you can see my group's video:



 While we were filming we laughed a lot because we got stuck a lot of times and also we laughed a lot because all the kremsils got paste in the pan and we had to do a lot of them to had one good.



I learnt how to cook kremsils .If we weren't doing this proyect I would never knowabout this Russian food .It's very easy to cook and they are delicious.


Finally ,I think that this proyect was really interesting because when we started ,each one of the group had a different country and we had to look information about them to chose which country we prefer and we learnt about them too.

1000 cranes for peace




DO YOU HAVE CONFLICTS WITH YOUR PARENTS?

Actually, teenagers have poblems with their parents and they argue a lot with them  for different reasons like clothes ,the mark of an exam, time to come back home ... I´m going to talk about the time that parents allow  their children to come back home in the weekend .Almost all teenagers argue with their parents about the time to go back home. Teenagers get angry because they aren't allowed to come back home late. They think the time to come back is very early. They only want keep having fun with their friends, so they come home much later that they are allowed to and they get punish, but they probably don't think that their parents want protect them. For this reasons the tips are: get home on time and give them confidence that if they tell you an hour you will obey. If you do that, they will probably let you get home later.  If you get later and you're punished, don't get angry with them .

Sadako seguía haciendo grullas de papel e  iba de habitación en habitación pidiendo papel para hacerlas , desafortunadamente Sadako Sasaki muere con tan  solo 12 años el 25 de octubre del 1955 tras catorce largos meses de estar ingresada en el hospital .Consiguió hacer 644  y sus compañeros de la escuela  terminaron  las que quedaban hasta llegar a mil .Sadako fue enterrada con todas las grullas y en el Parque de la Paz de Hiroshima le hicieron una estatua sosteniendo en la mano una grulla dorada dedicada a ella y a todos los niños que murieron por culpa de las bombas atómicas .
