Future Cooks of the Universe

I walked into consumer science (cooking class) to find everyone neatly in their seats and ready to make that day’s recipe.  ”Why are all of you so quiet?” I asked, still slightly in shock.  ”We have to be quiet so we can make the caramel rolls faster!” one of my classmate’s exclaimed.  I sat down and follow the crowd – not due to peer pressure, those caramel rolls are good!

This week, I’m the chef of the kitchen.  I like cooking and baking and preparing foods.  It calms me down and fills my stomach!  Since I have more cooking experience due to my mom and grandma, the recipes don’t seem too difficult to me.  I think it’s good to have a consumer science class. Next year, I’ll get to learn how to sew things like pillows, blankets, hats, etc.

As I sit down start to take my first bite of a caramel roll, I hear some of the kids whispering, “Why didn’t I make these yesterday?!?!”, “These are amazing!”, “They should call them heaven rolls!”.   I understood what they meant soon after I got my first taste – a yummy combo of doughy goodness and brown sugar!  I look forward to the rest of the rotation and making more yummy treats.
