Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Hi everybody and Happy Thanksgiving!
   
          After Thanksgiving there is not going to be a lot of posts, because I am in a Christmas ballet show and I will have 10 shows, but I think the shows are on one day and then the next day the other cast performs and then the next day I perform, so hopefully I will be able to post. If you want to learn more about the show, go to http://www.joffrey.org/nut.

What are you doing for Thanksgiving? Comment and tell me! I am going to my aunt's house. I love Thanksgiving!

Here is a little thing I made by myself:

House on the Gulf Essay

Hi everybody! This is a random essay I made for a book called House on the Gulf. In one of my early posts, I made a Dumb Diary book essay. All the essays I have posted are not used for school, I just made them randomly. :)
House on the Gulf
Main Character: Britt (Brittany)
Characters Important to the Story: Mrs. Stuldy, Mrs. Marcus, Bran, and Brittany and Bran's mom.
Rating By Stars: 
Review: This book is a great book, otherwise some things I noticed throughout reading it. 
I didn't like how the character Bran developed in the story. It did make the story exciting, but I still didn't like it. He was an honest brother and then he turned into a liar. Some things I liked were the plot of the story (besides Bran's development). The plot was twisted around and left you surprised in the middle of the book. Otherwise, I loved the book! I'm sure everybody who reads it will be surprised. On that note, I hope you can read the book. I am sure you will love it! 


Sincerely,

How To Make Crepes

Hi everybody! This is how to make crepes from my Grandma's recipe. We are Croatian, and in Croatia, crepes are popular. We don't call them crepes, we call them palacinke. I think that's how it's spelled.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

spatula
pan
big spoon thing
bowl
canola oil


1. Put 1 or 2 eggs in a bowl, add a little sugar, some salt, stir. Add milk and flour and stir some more until liquidy.

2. Next set a pan on the oven. Set oven to medium temp.

3. On the pan, put some oil and tip the pan a little so the oil will spread.

4. Take the big spoon thing and take scoop some of your mix. Put it inside the pan. Tip to spread mix.

5. Wait a bit. Take spatula and check underside to see if done. It will be a little brown and crispy. If brown and crispy, flip over the crepe so the other side will be cooked, too. When it is done, take the spatula and put the crepe on the plate.

I hope you enjoy the crepe. If you did not get something, comment, and I will either make a video, or show you a picture of how the thing looks. I knew the basic ingredients, but not how much, so I found a website that tells me exactly how much you need. Thanks you for the ingredients: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/basic-crepes/detail.aspx

Enjoy your crepes,
sincerely,

En Pointe With Emma

Does anybody actually know what the whole, "En Pointe With Emma" thing comes from?
Well, I love to dance ballet. Well, in ballet, when you get older you get to go on pointe. Pointe means you get to wear pointe shoes, a picture of them is on the bottom of this post. In France, since ballet comes from France, they spell "on pointe" like this: en pointe. So, my whole blog name basically means that you are going en pointe with me while I share all my life stories and interests. By the way, I still haven't gotten on pointe yet. Thanks for reading!
