Poem Conest Winner!

Okay Okay Okay. I know it has been waiting so long for me to tell the winner. It Was very hard to choose but this is the one I picked

The Aero

Long ago there lived an old man

He was lonely

So one moonlit evening

He pulled out his pan

Gently, he heated chocolate until it melted

The aroma lifted off, filling the house

He carefully poured the chocolate into a case

Once the chocolate had frozen into a bar,

The old man carefully poked holes into the slab

POP, POP, POP

The touch was soft, but firm

He lifted it up to his mouth,

And took a gracious bite

'What wonderful taste', He thought to himself

Just then, a woman walked past his cottage window

It was Christmas Eve! What was she doing tramping through the snow with her two barely clothed children?

He could tell they had no place to go

Nowhere amidst this cold white snow

So he gave her the chocolate

More than one bite

And then he was no longer lonely

As that sight brought him delight

Cookies!

Yummy, COOKIES! Do you know Who made the Chocolate Chip Cookies? Well, Ruth Wakefield Invented These sweet cookies. Now I think you are Wondering How These cookies were "Invented" well Wait and see.


You see, Ruth owned a Inn. She prepared the recipes for the meals served to the guests at the Inn and gained local notoriety (NOT-ORIE-TY) for her deserts.One of her favorite recipes was for Butter Drop Do cookies. The recipe called for the use of baker's chocolate and one day Ruth found herself without the needed ingredient. She substituted a semi-sweet chocolate bar cut up into bits. However, unlike the baker's chocolate the chopped up chocolate bar did not melt completely, the small pieces only softened.As it so happened the chocolate bar had been a gift from Andrew Nestle of the Nestle Chocolate Company. As the Inn's chocolate chip cookie recipe became popular, sales of Nestle's semi-sweet chocolate bar increased. Andrew Nestle and Ruth Wakefield struck a deal. Nestle would print the Inn's Cookie recipe on its packaging and Ruth Wakefield would have a lifetime supply of Nestle chocolate.

How to make ice cream!

Yummy, Ice cream the Delicious Cold treat that every one enjoys! Well today I am going to give you a recipe so you do not have to run down to the store EVERY single time you want ice cream!

What you need:
rock salt
About two quarts of ice
1/2 cup of milk
1 tablespoon of sugar
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, chocolate syrup, or cocoa powder

What you do:
Mix sugar, milk or half & half, and flavoring in a bowl, then seal it in a quart-sized plastic bag.Take roughly two quarts of ice and place it into the gallon-sized bag with rock salt. Ideally, the gallon bag will be roughly half full with the ice and salt mixture.Place the sealed quart-sized bag with the ingredients into the gallon-sized bag. Make sure the bags stay sealed! Do not allow the contents to mix at any time. If the bags don't seal sufficiently, use duct tape to seal the top of both bags to ensure they don't open during shaking.Gently agitate, massage, and shake the bags for about ten to fifteen minutes. In this amount of time the contents of the quart (smaller) bag should start to turn into solid ice cream.As you agitate the two bags, it is important that you are mixing the contents of the inner bag, but you don’t want to be so aggressive that you burst the inner bag or cut it on the ice (double-bagging should prevent this).If your hands get uncomfortably cold, use a towel or an old t-shirt to hold the bags as you massage them; they will be quite cold and might become slippery with accumulated condensation. Consider using gloves or massaging while holding onto the top seal if a towel or similar cloth is not available.

Then once you are done enjoy!!!

There you go how to make ice cream!
