Hello! I am Ravina. I want to tell you what happened yesterday!. I made some biscuits
for the family. In the morning I went to the supermarket with my mother and bought butter, eggs,
sugar, flour and strawberry jam. When I got home, I turned the cooker on so it got hot and
I got a big bowl from the shelf in the kitchen. Next I mixed the sugar and the soft butter
together with a large spoon. I added the eggs and flour very slowly. Then I left the biscuit
mixture in the fridge for half an hour. Then I cut the biscuits into star shapes and cooked them
in the oven for about fifteen minutes. I put them in a plate to go cold and went upstairs to
get my diary and write about the biscuits. When I went back to the kitchen the plate was
empty. All the biscuits disappeared. Can you believe that ?
