Helen's Cooking Diary
Tuesday, January 30. 2018
This month we had to choose a club. I waited until the last minute. Many of the activities were already full, and I decided to join the Cooking Club because at least I would get something to eat.
Tuesday, February 6, 2018
It was the first time to be here. Most people are in the club for more than a year, so they already know what they're doing. And since they all know each other, they weren't exactly interested in a new-comer.

What a terrible day! I knocked a bottle of orange juice off the table! Maybe all the other kids would never stop laughing. And it was not easy to get juice off your clothes.

One of my bright ideas worked out for a change! Everyone laughed when I handed out the chocolate "panda" cookie I made yesterday, but this time I was laughing, too. It was a great success. We're even planning to make more cookies for the school food festival next week.
Lunch is 12:00 1:00 at the school dining hall.
One day, when I arrived at school, an ice cream truck was parked in the schoolyard. I had never thought one ice cream truck would come to bring ice cream to us older kids. When I went up to the truck, I was quite surprised to hear the man call out, "Free ice cream!" To make sure of his words, I asked, "I'm sorry, what did you say?" "Free ice cream. Choose whichever you like." he said with a smile.
After I was sure that the man was just giving away the ice cream, He told me that his dream had always been to travel around giving away ice cream, and that's what he was now doing. With his mother's support, he kept doing what he loved even during hard times.
The man said he wanted to encourage people to do exactly what their hearts told them to do with their lives. I kept asking him, " So your dream was just to drive and give away ice cream? "Yes, meeting people and making them smile were just my dreams," he replied. At that time he handed me an ice cream. I thanked him, but what I got from him was much more than just an ice cream. I believe what he was doing is exactly what great people do all the time : small acts of big love.

Chores were not popular at my house. My children didn't like to do chores. They always saw me do chores, but they hardly ever helped me do them. A year ago, I made a game called “The Endless Chore Game”. It is really great. Here is how the game works.
I made a card with forty squares (方框), and I write a different chore on each square. There chores can be easy and interesting like making dessert. Then my family rolls the dice (骰子) to decide what chores we have to do. There are also a few squares with fun things, like watching TV. If you are lucky, you can watch TV while the others are doing chores.
My sons likes the game very much. He goes to the kitchen happily every morning to do the game. It is really a good way to make my children do chores. You can have a try if you have they same problem with me.

Millions of British people have ditched the traditional “thank you” and took the place of it with the less formal(正式的) “cheers”, according to a survey.
Although the common person will say “thank you” nearly 5,000 times a year, one in three are more likely to add a “cheers” or “ta” where it’s needed to show they are fashionable.
One in twenty now say “nice one” instead, while the younger are more likely to offer a “cool” than a “thank you”.
“Merci”, “fab” and even “gracias” were also listed as common expressions to use, as “much appreciated(感激)”.
One in twenty who took part in the survey of 2,000 people by the Food Network UK for Thank You Day, which is marked on November 24, 2011, said a formal “thank you” was now not often needed in everyday conversation. More than one in ten adults said they regularly(有规律地) won’t say thank you if they are in a bad mood. Most people stated(陈述) that saying thank you was something that their parents trained them. A huge 70 percent of those who are questioned will say thank you to a person’s face without even meaning it, while one fifth avoid(避免)saying it when they know they should.
It seems our friends and family get the stress of our bad manners. Half of them admit (承认) they’re not good at thanking those closest to them. Many of them explain that they don’t say thank you because their family “already know I’m thankful”.
When spoken words won’t do, it falls to a nice text to do the job for most people.
One third will still send a handwritten thank-you note---but 45 percent admit it’s been more than six months since they tried to send one.
A quarter of British people say “thank you” with food, with 23 percent cooking a meal to show their appreciation to someone. Another 15 percent make a cake.
It follows that 85 percent of people will be angry because of not getting the gratitude (感激)they feel they should receive.
