Carnival

Tight rope walker

There was a carnival on campus this week to help all the students de-stress during midterms. So Kim and Joslyn came to school to hang out at the carnival for a while. It was pretty cool. They had jugglers, balancing people, tight rope, trapeze, and spinny top things on a string.

Isaac decided that he wants to join the carnival. He has a lot of tough midterms right now.

Goldy the mascot was there too!  Joslyn really liked him.

We also had a sad experience with Joslyn's hair this week. Lately when we put her to bed or when she's upset, she's been pulling out all her hair and then she would eat it! We ended up having to shave it all off. :(

For our recipe this week, we want to write about how you can make simple delicious ramen with ingredients we already had on hand.  For the broth we used 2 Tbsp vegetable oil, 2 Tbsp sesame dressing, 1 tsp garlic, 1 tsp ginger, 4 Tbsp soy sauce, 5 cups chicken stock.  Either the soy sauce or the chicken stock needs to be reduced sodium or it will be way too salty.  They should probably both be.  Then we fry up some vegetables, like carrots, onion, bell peppers, etc.  Cook the noodles in water, not in the broth.  If you can find yakisoba noodle in your store's refrigerated section that works best.  Otherwise just use 2 instant ramen noodle packets and throw away the seasoning that comes with it (or make your own noodles). Then put the cooked vegetables and noodles in the broth, add two eggs (don't stir), put the lid on and let it cook at a medium-low heat until the egg is as cooked as you like it.  Serves 2-3.
