9:00 AM May 28th, 2010

So, it's nine in the morning and I've just been laying here on my bed since six o' clock. I'm bored and famished, but there's nothing to eat or do. 


I walk downstairs to get some breakfast. I look around the kitchen: in the cupboards, the fridge, and the counters. I find nothing, there's no eggs, bread, or cereal. 


"What am I going to eat?" I say. "There's basically nothing!" 


I turn around, that's when I see our Vegan cookbook. I flip through it, flip, flip, and flip. Something catches my eye, it's a chocolate chip pancake recipe. I check the ingredients, no eggs or dairy needed. We have everything.


2 cups flour
3 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp oil
2 cups soymilk
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the soymilk and oil and mix until well combined, then add in the chocolate chips and stir.

Drop spoonfuls of batter onto a hot greased griddle and cook approximately 3 minutes on each side. 

Cook time- 6 minutes
Prep time- 5 minutes
Total time- 11 minutes


I follow the directions, and soon enough I have some delicious pancakes. I drop all four of the pancakes onto my plate and head over to the table. I sit down and dig in.


"This is delicious!" I exclaim.


I look down at my plate, everything is gone. I check the time, 11:30, I have to get dressed, and fast. I run back upstairs, into my room, and to the dresser. I find a t-shirt, some jeans, and sneakers. I  hurry to get dressed. 


I check the time again, it's 11:45 now.


"I gotta go!" I scream.


I run downstairs and out the door to Annie's house.


As soon as I get to Annie's door, I saw Ellie and Annie.


"Ellie!" I yell. "Time to go home!" 


"But, I don't want to go, Rosie!" Ellie yells back.


"You have to Ellie, Mom said so." I tell her.


"OK." she says. "Bye, Annie!" 


We walk back home, two blocks away. 


"Ellie, want some pancakes?" I ask her.


"Yes, please, Rosie!" she exclaims.


"OK, as soon as we get home I'll make you some." I  say.


We stop.


"Yay! Yay!" She screams as she jumps up and down. 


"Wait, what kind?" she ponders.


"Chocolate chip." I inform her.


We start walking again.  Two minutes later, we're home.


"OK, come with me to the kitchen." I tell Ellie.


She nods.


We walk inside and to the kitchen. 


i point at the table. " Go sit down." I say.


11 minutes later, there's another batch of pancakes ready to go.


"How many do you want?" I ask Ellie.


She puts up three fingers.


"Okay." I reply. 


I put three for her on one plate, and three for me on another plate. I put them down on the table and sit down.


"Dig in!" I say.


"Yummy!" she exclaims, her mouth full.


Just like before, they were gone in ten minutes. We both got up, and went to rinse off our plates. 




I rushed upstairs and yelled "I'll be upstairs if you need anything!".


Okay, I'm back! Today's been a long day!  It's already 3:00 PM, but it feels like six. Mom should be back soon.


I think I'm going to take a nap.
Bye!
