Cooking the Thai Way
I read Cooking the Thai Way by Supenn Harrison and Judy Monroe. It is obviously about Thai food, which looks really good but most of it probably doesn't taste very good. (Same with Chinese food. ) Did you know that the traditional way of eating is on the floor there? (in Thailand) Thai food is usually spicy and sour. It is also mostly beautifully arranged. Thai people eat lots of rice( like other Asian countries). Rice is part of all their meals. They eat their rice really fluffy and dry. They almost never eat rice just by itself, always with a really strong flavored soup, curry, or sauce.
One of my favorite things in the book are pineapple fish noodles. It looks good. I also really like the Thai Coconut Custard, which also looks really good, and the bananas in syrup looks really good too. I also like the tropical fruit dessert. And I like Thai spring rolls. (those are lots of opinions)
Also why do Thai people always serve some thing really bland with something really flavorful?
Also, there isn't any cheese in the Thai recipes. :-( (=D for people who hate cheese)
The Thai coconut custard looks disgusting but probably tastes really good.
Funny Poems!
The second part of my blog post is about the Kingfisher Book of Funny Poems!
Obviously, it is about poems that are funny.
There are a bunch of poems in this book that are selected by Roger McGough.
Some of them aren't really funny but some are really funny.
Here's a poem.
The Blue Room
My room is blue, the carpet's blue,
The chairs are blue, the door's blue too.
A blue bird flew in yesterday,
I don't know if it's flown away.
By Richard Edwards
Unfortunately, there aren't any poems about cheese.
I think there should be because everyone thinks cheese is really funny.

Tuck Everlasting

I am reading a book called Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit. It is about a girl called Winnie Foster that discovers a fountain on her family's property that makes you live forever, really. There are some people called the Tucks that accidentaly drank from the fountain and they never got older, not for a hundred years. They looked the same.
I wonder why the Tucks didn't leave the place they were and went exploring? That is what I would have done. If I could live forever I would try eating live snails because I know I wouldn't die if I got infected. Plus I would keep worms as a pet and feed them cheese. After I would deep fry them and eat them. And I would also dip cheese in egg and coat it with bread crumbs. Yum! I A connection I made was about another book I read with people that lived for 200 years.

Matilda
Dear classmates
I read Matilda by Roald Dahl. It is a really good book and you should read it. The summary is about a really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, smart girl called Matilda that is supposed to be in kindergarten but she is smarter than an 8th grader. She has a really sweet teacher called Miss Honey but soon finds out that Miss Honey has an aunt that is the headmistress. The aunt is really cruel and when Miss Honey was little she shoved her head underwater when she was taking a bath and kept it there. And since Matilda was so smart, she used telekinesis on a piece of chalk and wrote things to the aunt on the blackboard.
I wondered what Matilda did after she went to live with Miss Honey at the end of the book? And WHAT happened to Miss Trunchbull (the aunt) ? You should read this book because it is really funny and weird. I remember when I had a mean teacher sort of like Miss Trunchbull.
