  Hello everyone! Ohinamatsuri is the Japanese "Girls Festival". I have some Japenese blood, so we like to celebrate thier holidays. Great Grandma Toni is 100 percent Japanese so my Papa Karl is 1/2 Japanese, So my Dad is 1/4 Japanese. And me...1/16???????? I donno. ☹️ We made 2D"ohinomatsuri dolls". here is my doll:

Today we made little Hinamatsuri dolls,for girls day its not girls day but we are stillcelebrating. These are some traditional dolls. good bye!

  A long time ago, during the Edo Era, (1603-1876) Special dolls were used to ward off evil spirits and demons. It was believed that they worked as a good luck charm, and were special and beautiful. 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 ...

  Hinamatsuri is a Japanese celebration. 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 . Today we watched a video about what each doll represents, and made a 2D Japanese doll.                                                                          Hina Doll Set

so  today we made yum cookies and brownies and i wish there delicious ooh yayyyyyyyyyyyyy and we doubled the recipe we did lots and lots of things yay

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  

  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 💤

       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

 I was spammed by my dear friend with  2020's most hilarious texts, memes, emojis, mistakes, and pictures. here is one of my favorite ones. Actually, squirrel is a delicacy in many places, but we are here to discuss some different recipes      https://www.theclevercarrot.com/2014/01/sourdough-bread-a-beginners-guide/                                                                                                                       enjoy this sourdough explanation!!!  

so today we learned lots of things we had lots of f u n  and the pizza tasted awsome  yayyyyyyyyyyyy!❤

           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!  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐                                                                       

  It's baking time!!!! Who's hungry? I am!!! During these painful, hard, hungry times we need a little boost  of strength! A friend of ours recently introduced us to sourdough bread! We don't really like sourdough bread, we think it is waaaaaaay  to sour for our delicate tastes, lol so we were not excited.  But turns out it can be used a raising agent instead of a flavour, so understandably we were relieved! Sour dough is an excellent was of getting things to be puffy and bubbly!

                      Sour Dough Cookies🍪😋 Today we made sour dough cookies. We learned about different ways to measure ingredients. One of them was volume, that's when you use measuring cups, like when you measure 1 cup or a 1/2 cup. Another one was weight and mass, and that's with a scale, and that's when you measure by weight.(see pictures below)                    Measuring cups and spoons                                                                              Scale
