Baking challenge

I absolutely love baking! Especially around the holidays.  So when I first heard about the baking challenge, I
New I just had to do it. The baking challenge is when a person bakes ever day (or every other day) for usually a week or longer, then they post their pictures of it to social media. Since the only social media I'm allowed to use is twitter, and that's only for school related proposes, I will post them in my blog. Here is a great cookie recipe🍪.i love this one and it is my go to sugar cookie recipe

2¾ c. all-purpose flour½ tsp. baking powder¼ tsp. kosher salt1 c. unsalted butter¾ c. granulated sugar1 large egg1½ tsp. pure vanilla extract

DIRECTIONSIn a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and then the vanilla.Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Shape the dough into 4 disks and roll each between 2 sheets of wax paper to 1/8 inch thick. Chill until firm, 30 minutes in the refrigerator or 15 minutes in the freezer.Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Using floured cookie cutters, cut out cookies. Place on the prepared sheets. Reroll, chill, and cut the scraps.Bake, rotating the positions of the pans halfway through, until the cookies are lightly golden brown around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

now for today's post

i love almost all christmas songs. but out of all christmas songs, my favorite is white christmas. i have seen the movie so many times and this song just brings back good memories. and also as of today, i AM dreaming of a white christmas. there are many different versions of this song and many different singers of it, but i would have to stick with the original bing crosby. it is the original, and like many other things, the original is always the best! so, that if why it is my favorite, now here are the lyrics

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

Coding

yesterday in science, we started a new engage unit about coding. When I first heard this, I immediately thought this was going to be one of the most boring units ever. If you didn't know, I don't like most things digital. When we started it, it was boring. But as we started getting farther into it, I actually really enjoyed it, which was quite surprising. I actually enjoyed it so much I went home and did it again. Today in class we had to study for our upcoming test, and then we could code. I always study by doing the review, so that's how I studied. I finished it very quickly so I could get to coding. I did the min craft code, which happened to be very, very hard. But altogether, I found out something new about myself, which is always a great thing.

spelling bee finale

since the beginning of the school year, i have been in a forensics multiple called spelling bee, and on friday we officially had our last performance. i was happy because we had a successful and fun time with a TON of inside jokes (chop the squid, gsa, flying on cubes, does this dictionary make my butt look big, minty and fresh,FOOOOOOD,i is god,etc.) but i was really, really sad because all of that is over. when i was first chosen for the multiple, i was upset because i had some bad experience with multiple. but in the end, i would trade the experience for anything. i made friends with people i never thought i would become friends with, did some really weird things, but most of all, enjoyed myself. it was something i could never regret doing and would change it for the world. thank you to mrs.bassett for making me do it, the multiple for being there for me, and a lot of other people.
