Miss Apricotte Blog-The Farewell Dinner

Yo! The Apricotte is back! - She’s the blogger with the really cool knack. Check this out- but please don’t shout – and read what this blog’s all about!

This time I will tell you all about the yummy (and I mean yummy) meal I cooked, the results of my last survey, a new survey, a word of the day and slang of the day. Oh, and I’ve decided a favourite book of the blog feature was missing so I have added it as well as a Shakespearian Insulter- kids, don’t repeat these unless you want to baffle and insult your parents! Could all of you book worms out there please e-mail me your favourite book? E-mail me at: Apricotte Michele I will post it onto the blog- but for me, safety is a first- please tell me whether or not I can write your name.

On Wednesday, it was my turn to cook dinner for the family. As Kevin, my grandfather, will be going to Italy on a language course, I decided to make this dinner special. First, it was a black tie event, and I made everyone dress up formally- hahaha! I made really cool, really sparkly place cards (my friend Jessica helped a lot) and awesome menus! For dinner I cooked delicious Veal Limone (veal in a lemon sauce) and an exquisite yoghurt cake that my French teacher recommended. (Yummy…..) To go with the veal (really pork cutlets) were roast potato and green beans. (Yummy x2……….) After dinner, which everyone enjoyed immensely, we played Blackjack, or 21. I did not win, but oh well. There was lots of arguing though! I still have loads of the cake left even though I gave a huge chunk to Kevin who shared it with eight people in his office!!!!

Luv Y'all! Apricotte Michele

P.S. I think y’all should know that I am going to Stanford for a Summer Camp in 78 days which is the equivalent of 108 days on Uranus according to my very smart computer, Vicky.
