How I Open My Presents

How I Open My Presents

First I pick the bigger presents because to me the smaller ones are the best.

Then if it is something that I know I will rip it open but if it's something I don't know, then I open it slowly. I also open my card first.

And lastly, when it's open I quickly move onto the next. But when I realize there's only one more present left I get annoyed and slowly open it.

4. Look out for rips.

5. Try to stay away from rocks.

Where is your favorite place to swim?

My favorite place to swim is Whitianga beach as it's always so warm and calm to swim in. Further up the beach, there is a creak and usually, there are mini fish. In parts of the creak, it's warm and in other parts it's cold.

What is your best summer/swimming memory?

My best swimming memory was when I learned how to do a back handspring in the deep end.

What do you think the world would be like if?

What do you think the world would be like if?

What do you think the world would be like if kids had tails? I think they would all be whipping each other and hurting each other. They would probably get into fights and start seriously hurting other children.

What do you think the world would be like if leaves were fish? It would be quite different. Us humans wouldn't be able to eat fish. If fish were leaves we probably wouldn't have even tried fish in our lives. Just imagine, what trees would have if leaves were fish!

What do you think the world would be like if toes were teeth? I think if toes were teeth that would be quite gross! Just imagine getting toe jam or something in there! EWWW! The one thing that would be kind of cool is you could paint your "toe nails". I would really struggle to eat my food. 

What is your favourite dish?

What is your favourite dish?

My favourite entree is garlic bread. I used to HATE garlic bread when I was younger as I didn't like the stuff in the middle especially when it was runny. I love garlic bread as my entree because I like the garlicky taste to it. 

1. 1 16-ounce loaf of Italian bread or French bread.
2. 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened.
3. 2 large cloves of garlic, smashed and minced.
4. 1 heaping tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley.
5. 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese(optional)

   

My favourite main is Butter Chicken. Lavanya's parents make the best Butter Chicken on the planet as it's so creamy and the chicken is not fatty. I don't really like Butter Chicken that you buy in the big malls because they put food colouring in it to make it more orange. It's my favourite main dish because it fills you up and it's so creamy.

1 yellow onion, diced

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 Tbsp garam masala

1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger

1 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1 1/2 cups tomato sauce**** (or one 14 oz can would work)

2 cups cream*

salt & pepper

lime & cilantro, for garnish
