Eventually, it came down to tradition, and culture to set up a "Hina dan set" for girls' day. They believe that you set them up, and take them down the day after March 3d (girls day) and if you don't take them immediately down on march4, your daughter will never marry. Not too much of a loss, but in Japan, it is imperative your daughter makes a good match. I mean, girls have more to do in this life than get married and have sons. The dolls are meant to make your daughter gentle, beautiful, and calm. Back in the day, that was the ideal daughter, and nowadays, girls can and have done waaaaaaaaay more. This is the "Hina dan" setup. This is the average size, but the biggest one has 31 levels, and is 7 meters high!! It is located in Japan, and is arguably the largest ...

Is is also called "Girl's Day" or "Doll's Day".  It is celebrated on March 3.  People celebrate it by putting out set of hina dolls, each doll represents something .

Pizza🍕😋 (By Noelle)

Today we made pizza🍕.   In our group we doubled the recipe, and converted it from the metric system to the imperil system. Then we rolled out the dough and put the sauce and baked it for 5 minutes, after that we put the toppings on and put it back in the oven till it was ready to eat.   Converting:  1 cup flour = 125g   1 cup sugar = 200g  1 cup cocoa powder = 100g  

HOW TO DOUBLE A RECIPE BY AYA

  hi everyone! Today we made sourdough pizza. Yum! And we doubled the recipie.                                       FOR EXAMPLE : - 1: 1 cup sourdough starter= 2cups if doubling recipie - 2: 1/2 cup lukewarm water= 3 cups - 3: 2 1/2 cups flour= 5 cups  -4: 1 teaspoon salt= 2 teaspoon -5: 1/2 teaspoon instant or  active dry yeast = 1 teaspoon was this helpful? Thank you! 💛 If you need me I am in bed 💤

Cookies, cups and grams

Image
       W e learned how to convert grams to cups. measuring by grams is more accurate, But cups are easier for more "hands on" activities. Like when doing an experiment with kids, or baking with friends.       I challenge you to do an experiment. Make one batch of cookies measuring with grams, and then another one using cups. Comment on the one that tastes the best! cya

sour dough biscuits: foul or flavorable

           In my last post, we learned that sourdough bread tasted fine, and sourdough was merely a rising agent, but will the biscuits taste the same... w e put the biscuits in the oven, and we are now eagerly awaiting the biscuits to be done!!!! The biscuits will be made into sandwiches, there more like flat rolls than biscuits, which I think was alright for us all, biscuits arent thaaaaaat filling.     be back as soon as the biscuits are done. And have cooled down.       They tasted great! Five-star reviews,  it was delectable!  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
