Raspberry Cream Cupcakes

Today I going to tell you about Giada's delicious raspberry cream cupcakes. I made them about a month ago and thought I should share them with the world. For these cupcakes you need:

• 1 (18.25-ounce) box white cake mix (recommended: Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe)
• 1 1/3 cups water
• 3 large eggs whites
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons almond extract
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 (6-ounce) containers fresh raspberries, cut in half or 1 (16-ounce) container fresh strawberries, coarsely chopped
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar, plus additional for dusting

Before you do anything else, preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit, and line 18 muffin cups with muffin papers.

In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat your cake mix, water, egg whites, melted butter,  almond extract and vanilla extract until well mixed. Then putting 1/3 cup of batter in each liner, bake the cakes till they are very pale gold on top, about 15 minutes.

While waiting for the cupcakes to cool completely, mash 1 1/2 containers of raspberries in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, beat cream and 1/3 cup of powdered sugar till stiff peaks form. Fold the mashed raspberries into the whipped cream.

Finally, remove the wrappers from the cupcakes and cut the tops off each one. Spoon the raspberry whipped cream atop the bottom piece and put the top back on. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with remaining berries.

These scrumptious cupcakes are a sophisticated desserts. The creaminess of the whipped cream, and the light fluffiness of the moist cake, is a combination everyone needs.

HOMECOMING

When Fridays come around, 
And I'm counting days,
you might know what I'm waiting on, 
HOMECOMING
Later tonight, 
after a great Swather game, 
the lights will go out,
and sounds will ring,
and colors will shine,
until about nine,
then lights will be turned back on,
i'll be laying on the ground,
wishing it hadn't passed so soon.
i solemly walk home. 
sleep is in dire need,
i fall on my bed,
waking up, to a new day,
and still smelling like fireworks,
and waiting on next 
HOMECOMING.

When you write a research question

When you are looking up information for a research question, there are so things that you may want to know before you start. When you're doing research, you will want to collect information that is related to your topic, from at least 3 or 4 sources so that you can write your research question. You will want to paraphrase, or summarize, what your sources say, so you can avoid plagiarism, which is were you copy someone's work then claim it as your own. Also, don't use wikipedia, because anyone can post anything, about real or fake events. Some of the information is not true.

My Doggie

Today I will talk about my little adorable doggie named Churro. Churro was a Chiweenie breed which is a mix between a Chihuahua and a Dachshund.

Churro was a long dog with long ears and gorgeous white fur with brown spots around his body.

Churro was very, very, very, loud and very confident. But when a Chiweenie is confident it always goes away at the slightest noise. Churro was a fearless little dog who almost bit my nose off when I tried to take his sock away. DON"T GIVE CHIHUAHUAS SOCKS they will fight you for it and every time you walk by he will want to kill you.

Churro was a very nice Chiweenie but he was also very stupid. One time I was opening a package up in the middle of the night and he got startled and he screamed. He absolutely loved to be petted and he loved getting his belly rubbed.

But unfortunately, during the summer of this year,  I had to give him to my cousins because of certain reasons. :(

My Shark Attack...

Over the summer, I had another weird dream. I decided to share it to the world of internet.

So in my dream, I had a shark attack. I woke up (in the dream) and there was a shark bite on my stummy (stomach and tummy). There was water gushing into the 2nd story of the house and I looked on my phone to check my notifications.

 After a while, I went downstairs to see if anyone else was up and they were. My step-grandpa Richard was there )I don't know why but he was). There was water gushing into the house and a few fish were on the floor. I told my dad I got bit by a shark and Richard opened the door, pulled up a shark and called, "I think I found it!". The weird thing about it was that it was baby blue and bright white. I didn't look like a shark at all, but it was a dream and anything is possible.

After a few more gushes of water came in a GIANT wave of water blasted in the door, blowing it open. My dad went under and Richard screamed to me "GRAB HIM!!!" and I went for my sister's goggles, then went back to my dad.

That's when I woke up. I don't know if he survived but I do know that it was so real I actually thought I was in a shark attack all week.

Vacation In Branson

Last summer, on July 31, my family took a trip to Branson, Missouri. We went to White Water which is a really fun water park with a bunch of slides. We also went to the Moses show at the Sight and Sound theater. We played some golf and went on a giant ferris wheel afterwards. But my favorite thing that we did is go to Silver Dollar City.

We got a three day pass so we went to White Water for one day and Silver Dollar City for two days. I love the rides at Silver Dollar City. My favorites are Wildfire, Powder Keg, Outlaw Run, and American Plunge. My dad, my sister, and I all went to ride the rollercoasters while my mom and my brother went to ride the kiddie rides. We also stayed late the first night and watched the firework show. The fireworks were really loud, but really cool. They were all different shapes and colors.

I hope you have a chance to go to Branson someday and I hope I can go back soon.

My Weird Dream...

When I was younger I had the weirdest dream of my whole LIFE. If you are starting to read this, you should just move on. Go!...Why aren't you going already? Fine. Stay and read my weirdest and most embarrassing dream of my life.

It was so scary. It was a NIGHTMARE I tell you. I was at home, where everything was in place. Except I blacked out and ended up in the hospital. The doctor handed me a weird looking kid... I know what you are thinking, I know this is weird but you will never believe what is ON it! There were strawberries growing on it! It's weird I know, this IS a dream i promise. I started to freak out because it was so creepy. I started screaming and found myself awake on a summer morning. I just remembered that I read a book with a lady having a garden with strawberries and other fruits.

Now you know my weirdest dream in my whole life. (It was NOT my baby!!!!)

Cats

Cats are amazing creatures. They are cute, cuddly, and low maintenance. They make good pets because all you need to do for them is provide food, water, and scoop the litterbox every couple of days.

My cat is trained to be nice and friendly to people, come when he is called, and even help put the dog in the kennel. He never makes a mess of the house and prefers to spend his time napping in my lap while I read.

Dreaming of tomorrow

Dreams are like portals to or purest form of imagination. Sleep, is the purest form of satisfaction. Sleep is a gate way to our dreams, and dreams, portals to our imagination. 

When you sleep, whether you're taking a nap or sleeping after finishing that home work for math the day before, you always dream. Although, you may not remember that you at a meatball sub in your dream the night before, or some other weird dreams.

You dream in the fifth stage of sleep, called REM. REM is your most active stage of sleep. You look around underneath your eyelids, and maybe lift your arm, or speak in your sleep.... Oh yeah, and dream!

Dreaming is what keeps our imaginations alive! You grandparents dream to, that is  why they may tell you silly stories and funny ideas they may have. 

I hope this gave you a new outlook on dreams!!

Dessert

I am going to talk about one of the best foods ever, dessert. It has lots of delicious and tasty foods ever like ice cream, cake, and cookies. It is just awesome. I love DESSERTS! Desserts is like heaven to people all around the world. I know everyone loves dessert.  I bet you also loves dessert because you are awesome. So tell me what is your favorite dessert and actually tell me in the comments.

The Hunger Games Series

The Hunger Games is an amazing book series. My reasoning behind this is the fact that its a very well known series. There is also some very unexpected choices the characters make throughout the story.

The characters also make some very sad choices. These choices leave the reader wanting more. I know I wasn't done with the series after the last book it was very sad. And that's my experience with the Hunger Games Series comment if you had a different one.

Spider Boy

On a warm summer day there was a boy named Jake and he was shooting his guns at a blue box and he always hits the bullseye. After,he was done he went in to his house to get a drink and he was so thirsty that he drank 2 gallons of water.Next,he went up to his room and started to play on his xbox and he was playing his favorite game Call Of Duty 3 and he was laying on his bed when a Black Widow crawled on to his bed and bit him.After,he got bit he went to the bathroom and tried to get the poison out of him but it was to late.Later, his mom got home from work and she called Jake to dinner but he did not come after his mom waited for 5 minutes she went up to his room to find out that he was laying on the ground crying that he got bit from a spider.After, Jakes mom came and helped him he started to get more than one leg until he got eight legs and he grew fangs and than he got up and took his mom by the head and threw her across the room then he picked her up agin and then killed her and ate her body then walked out laughing horrifically.    

Hillsboro vs. Hesston

This week, my team and I had a football game against Hillsboro Middle School. At practice, we added in formations and plays that we thought would work against Hillsboro.

Just like every Wednesday, our team had a "walkthrough" in helmets, t-shirts, shorts, and cleats. In the walkthroughs we do stretches, offensive plays, and fix anything that isn't exactly right. We also work on defensive plays.

For our game, my teammates and I all had to ride on a bus to Hillsboro. On the way, everyone was quiet while they listened to their pre-game music. When we all got to the field, we got our equipment on, had a pre-game talk, and headed out to the field to warm up.

When the game started, everyone was excited. Almost every time our team had possession of the ball, we scored. The second quarter was exactly the same way. At halftime, the score was 33-0, us.

During halftime, everyone ran to the locker room and sat down so the coaches could talk. Halfway through halftime, our game got delayed.

Eventually, our game got cancelled. Everyone was happy. We ended up winning the game 33-0, us.

The Running Dream

The Running Dream is one of the books I have read this year. It is written by Wendelin Van Draanen. It is my favorite book that I've read for many reasons. The Running Dream is about a high school girl who loves to run. Unfortunately, on the way back from one of her track meets, the bus she is in is in an accident and she looses part of her leg. Her friends are trying to be there for her, but she is having trouble recovering. Finally, she gathers enough courage to go back to school. In the end, she gets a running leg and pushes her friend with cerebral palsy in a wheel chair in a race and they get first place with their friends cheering them on the whole way.

I recommend this book to people who realistic fiction books. I like how something always happens at the end of each chapter that makes you want to keep reading. I started reading The Running Dream because Sarah told me is was an amazing book and I agree with her completely. If you are looking for a book, The Running Dream is a book you should try.

Volleyball

Last Thursday night I played in our Middle School volleyball game. We played against Hillsboro and won 2 of 4 games. I played on the 8th grade C team and we lost in the 3rd set. The 7th grade C team Won. B team also won and A team lost. We all had a good time.

I really enjoy playing volleyball. It is very fun and you have to work as a team. I think it is a great sport to play if you like to interact and work as a team and work hard. I can't wait until next Thursday when we play again.

Ice Cream Cake

My mom made me ice cream cake for my birthday party. If you are like me and love ice cream cake, you know how expensive it can be. My favorite place to get ice cream cake is Dairy Queen, but it costs twenty five dollars at the least. So my mom had the idea to make a homemade ice cream cake. It was so good, I would recommend this cheap dessert to any ice cream fanatics.

This cake is so easy to make! All you have to do is buy two tubs of ice cream, make it you favorite flavors, unlike Dairy Queen who only has chocolate and vanilla. Make sure you have a spring form pan to create your cake so it doesn't melt in your platter. For the delicious, crunchy filling you need a pack of Oreos and two bottles of the chocolate shell. Finally, the fun part, making the cake. Put half of one of the ice creams in the bottom of the spring form pan, try to flatten the ice cream as quickly as you can so it doesn't tart to melt. Then, put all of your Oreos in a large bag and start crushing. Once your Oreos are crushed, top the first layer of ice cream with the Oreos and both of the hard shell chocolates. Lastly, put the other half carton of ice cream in, and freeze. Wait about twelve hours before you eat. Enjoy the delicious sensation of homemade ice cream cake!

One of My Dreams

When I was 5 years old, I had a really weird dream that I still remember. It went like this...

So, there were these creatures who wanted to rule the world. They had Donald Duck heads, giraffe necks, a dog body with ratty, matted fur, hippo legs, human hands for hands, and human feet for feet. They were all over the news. The creatures started in China, then to Europe, and eventually to me. 

Since my parents are divorced, I was at my dad's house. When my dad was driving us home (my brothers and sister), my dad started speeding because they were after my mom and us. When we got to Sedgwick at my mom's house, we ran inside and told my mom what was going on. She didn't believe us and so she went outside. That's when we realized how they were killing everyone. They were eating every one's heads off. The creatures stayed outside and after a minute or so, Chris, my mom's ex-boyfriend, went outside to check on her and his head got eaten off. Then my dad and brothers went outside and their heads were ate off.

My sister looked out back and and didn't see the dog-duck things, so she went out. They had started to go around and so she ran up a tree. The creatures had followed her up the tree but she went to the top. They hadn't caught up to her yet when she jumped down. She didn't realize that there were more coming and that they hadn't caught up to the others yet. She turned the corner to the front yard and the duck things had ate her head off.

 Now I was all alone and the creatures realized it. They burst into the front and back doors and came toward me. I ran to my room and locked the door and closed the window. They rattled my door and I screamed and soon they broke it down. I ran to my window and jumped out and ran.

That's when I woke up, so I don't know how it ended. All I know is that once I woke up I ran into my mom's room and she wasn't very happy because I woke her up.

Soccer

I like soccer for many reasons. I like the way the game is played and how quick it is. I also like kicking the ball and I really like to score. I get to make new friends when I play soccer. I have soccer practice every day. At practice we have to do a lot of running. I have a coach that is nice but yells. Those are some reasons why I like soccer.

Fashion

I love fashion. Fashion is displayed wherever you go. Online, ads, and especially in stores. I try to save money for the dresses and jeans, but it's very hard because they are so expensive. Whenever i go out to find the perfect outfit, it's hard to find your own style. My style is the dresses that are skinny at the waste and poof out, jeggings(skinny jeans), loose sweatshirts, and any kinds of converse. 

Sometimes when I go shopping, I go to Rue 21. They have MY style and the things that I like. The stuff they have are SO cute and so much cheaper than other places. I love the online store Modcloth. Their stuff isn't alway the cheapest, but they have so cute stuff. I wish they would open a store other than online because their stuff are my favorite. I bought some shoes from Modcloth that were $44, and fit amazingly! Usually when you buy shoes online, you would maybe want to send it back to the store because they don't feel right and that's why people go TO the store itself and buys it in person.

Baking

I absolutely love to bake. I love to bake different things for example, cheesecake, macaroons, cakes, cookies, and pies. I feel like baking is a way to express yourself with sugary frosting and candies.

When you bake you have to be VERY CAREFUL when you are around an oven or you will burn yourself! I know this because I have burnt myself terribly on my arm. Just a reminder wear very long oven mitts that don't expose your skin too much to avoid being burnt. 

Did you know that baking is a science? Well It is! The science behind baking is mixing different types of ingredients and hoping that you don't give yourself food poisoning from your own cooking.

My Puppy

  Hi! I am going to share a little story about my puppy! I have already shared about her on another blog post. Everyone loves puppies! If you want to hear more about my puppy then,  keep reading.

  Her name is Lucy! It's hard to pick a nickname for her. Do you have any ideas? Anyways, she is a mess, not in a bad way but in a funny way. She hops instead of runs, She barks down the stairs when I let her out of her kennel, overall its funny. When I through one of her toys she hops to it. I can't help myself not to laugh. She is a Chihuahua. Some people don't like that breed but all you need to do to like them is give them a chance. There awesome dogs. Most of all, they are so cute. 

  Well, I hope that you enjoyed getting to know my puppy.  

  

Ocean

The ocean is both beautiful and dangerous. It's beauty is within coral reefs, kelp forest, and the animals that live in the ocean. It's danger in from riptides, waves, and predators.

When I go play there, I play in the waves and go search for seashells. I also try to stay out of ditches in the sand, because those are riptide currents, as well as try to stay close to where we are parked on the beach. I enjoy trying to catch a wave when body-surfing. When I go to play in the ocean, I try to have fun while being safe.

She Wore Red

        She wore red and a black hood all week Monday though Friday. She only took it off when she got to hot. She would  walked in the halls without talking not even say move to get to her locker.

She was quite all day long at lunch, all class, art class. She didn't open her  mouth in choir. She sat alone at lunch because every one thought she was weird. When she tried to sit by somebody she got kicked out.

         The next Monday she wore the same thing. At lunch she tried to sit with my little gorp. My friends kicked her out I look at them with a really look. I got up from my seat and when to sit with her. She smiled. I asked her why she wore red and a black hood. She  didn't say anything. I asked her why she didn't talk answered with a croaky voice. ''Because.''

         

              So that what I have so far. I hope you liked it.
