How to make chocolate chip cookies

            To understand how to make the cookies we first must understand where they came from. The chocolate chip cookie was actually made by accident. In 1930, Ruth Wakefield wanted to make a chocolate butter cookie. She made food for her guests in the Toll House. She thought mixing a bar of semi-sweet chocolate in with the dough it would make the whole cookie chocolate. This did not happen the way she wanted to. The cookies were still okay so she served them to her guests anyways and they loved them.

            I obtained the recipe for chocolate chip cookies that I am going to tell you how to make from one of my mother’s friend Melanie Scott. It is so popular at our house that during Christmas they always beg me to make cookies and any other time they think that they might be able to convince me to bake them. Sometimes we even have to make two batches because it has become popular with friends and some outside family that they want some as well. We are no longer in contact with Melanie so I have taken the recipe and deemed it as my own.

Jessica’s Cookies

¾ C sugar

1 C brown sugar

1 C butter/ margarine

1 Tbs vanilla

2 eggs

3 C flour

¾ tsp baking soda

¾ tsp salt

1 bag of chips

You will need 1 large mixing bowl, aluminum foil or wax paper, mixer, silicone scraper, 1 nonstick cookie sheet, 2 spoons, 1 plastic spatula, measuring spoons, 2 hot pad holders, and measuring cups. Preheat oven to 375 F. Measure ¾ cup of sugar and pour into the large mixing bowl. Measure 1 cup of packed brown sugar (you should be able to make a “castle” when you put it into the bowl.) Put the 1 cup of brown sugar into the bowl. Either measure 1 cup of butter or use 2 whole sticks of margarine (it equals 1 cup). Measure 1 tablespoon of artificial vanilla and pour it into the bowl. Take out 2 eggs and crack the shell making sure not to get any of the shell into the bowl and put the yolk into the bowl. Mix all of the ingredients on low in the bowl with the mixer until it is all liquid. Take the mixer out of the bowl. Next, measure 1 cup of flour. When putting the measured flour into the bowl, be sure to spread it all out pretty evenly and not to put all of the flour in one area of the bowl. Mix the measured flour into the bowl on low until the flour is mixed thoroughly. If any flour is remaining on the sides of the bowl, take the silicone scraper and scrape along the inside until no flour is on the sides. Measure another cup of flour and also put that into the bowl and spread evenly. Mix the flour evenly on low. If any flour remains on the sides of the bowl be sure to scrape it off. Measure 1 last cup of flour and pour it into the bowl. Mix the cup of flour in the bowl on medium. If any flour is on the sides be sure to use your scraper to get it off. Take the mixer out of the bowl. Measure ¾ teaspoon of baking soda and put that into the bowl. Measure ¾ teaspoon of salt and put that into the bowl. Mix the ingredients on medium for about 15 seconds or until evenly mixed. Pour 1 bag of chocolate chips into the bowl. Mix the ingredients on high until chips are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough. Remove the mixer and use your scraper to take off the cookie dough on the beaters. Use 2 regular sized spoons and scoop out a golf ball sized amount, and use the other spoon to scrape the dough onto your nonstick cookie sheet. Cookies should be placed about 1 inch apart. Place your cookies into the oven and wait for about 15 minutes or until light brown along the edges. For a soft cookie, bake until the dough is no longer shining and the edges of the cookie is a very light brown. Remove the cookies from the oven using your hot pad holders to hold the sheet and place the cookies on the stove top. Take either your aluminum foil or wax paper and roll out enough length to place all of the cookies on it. Use the hot pad holders to take your cookies over to where you will be placing them and scrape them off gently using your plastic spatula. Continue to make bake the cookies using the same technique until no cookie dough is left. Let cool for 20 minutes. Enjoy!

Video Response

The video we watched was very emotional for me in the way that is devastating. It is one thing to see pictures and analyze what is happening in them but to see the people moving in a video and know and see what they are going through is another. I used to think that the Holocaust was a long time ago and that it wouldn't be affecting us today but I was wrong. It was a very short time ago to the point that my grandparents could be affected by it. The video showed how the poor survived in those times and how society looked like then. The rich were living quite well while they walked down the streets in their fur coats and nice hats passing by people who were starving to death on the streets. You would see people passed out on the streets because they had no where else to go. You would even see dead bodies on the streets. The people did not even know why they were filming they just acted normal. The poor became so weak that they could not go downstairs to take out the trash so instead they just tossed it out the window and a giant pile of trash built up and other people would go through that to try to find anything to eat. The poor would walk around without shoes and had sores on their feet. They had no water to clean their clothes, or their bodies. They were so hungry they were not even concerned what they looked like or how they were dressed. The camera man that was being interviewed was not told what to film, he just filmed anything and he was not told why he was filming either. People who survived the Holocaust watched these films and even recognized some of the areas and the people that was filmed. People that were starving slowly to death were filmed with their deformed bodies and dirty faces. People walking on the streets would not even glance in their direction and walked right past them. It was very sad seeing all of this and how people could just let all of this go. People living in such filthy conditions with nothing they can do but try to survive. You also saw the insides of peoples homes with their family  crammed together all grouped in a doorway. The video makes me glad that I am living in the United States and do not have to suffer those living conditions. People that survived this are very strong and I respect them greatly. They were able to get through the worst conditions that to us are unimaginable and now they are thriving but still have to live on with the memory of the horrible torture they were put through and what others were put through. They have lost very close friends and family members but have gotten through and live happier and have learned that nothing is impossible.

Joseph Morton testimony

Joseph Morton was born in Lodz Poland. His family all lived in the same room but it was decent size with several beds, some were shared. When he heard about the Hitler’s rise to power it started with hearing from his parents of the harm that was done to the Jew’s. He also had an aunt that had a sister who lived in Berlin who were kicked out of Germany and were forced to come back to Lodz Poland. She wanted to go back and she did but she was sent back to Poland. They were able to live in their same apartment. There wasn’t any specified jobs in the ghettos. He heard that they were taking children from the hospital and throwing them out of the windows and into a truck. He was separated from his mother and some cousins. A US soldier liberated him but he was so sick he could hardly register it. Some consequences he would suffer would be that he would have to live on without his mother and he would never want to go back to his hometown. He later moved to Canada with his brother. Later they moved to the United States and met up with his father there. When they moved to Canada the Jewish federation fed them and helped to support them while they were there and tried to get used to it. They also taught him to be a cutter in the sewing industry where now he cuts hair. They only stayed in Canada for about a year and continued to live in Chicago with his father. His cousin went back to Poland to live.

 

“They would go as far as the Jewish area and stopped right there. If they went any further in they would get punished.”

“Being in the ghetto the starvation was very tremendous.”

Brigitte Altman testimony

Brigitte Altman is from Memel, now known as Klypida. Her parents were quite wealthy. They lived in a house with two stories and two living rooms. Brigitte went to school and she was an only child. Her family was very observant of the Jewish holidays. One of the first things she noticed when the Germans began taking over is that the friends that she used to have stopped talking to her completely and the teachers at school began treating her very rudely. They knew they could not stay where they were at so they moved with her grandparents. They moved again to a small village where they were then caught and forced into the ghettos. They survived for the most part with her having a job growing mostly vegetables out of season and her father having a job working on machines. Her mother was very ill and could hardly walk so stayed home. She did pass away leaving only herself and her father. Her father knew someone outside of the ghetto and found out that they made trips every so often to the ghetto for deliveries. He devised a plan to get her out and it took a couple of months. The way she got out was by staying with this certain group of only about fifteen people and going outside of the ghetto which they did occasionally to call a friend or to do some other errands. Then the driver of this truck bribed the guard to look away long enough for her to take off her star which was only pinned to her clothing so she could then get into the truck and leave. A consequence to surviving would be that she has to live on without her mother and also that most of the people that she used to know are no longer around so she is alone in that aspect.

“Neighbors would even announce if they suspected neighbors were hiding something.”

“Everyone in the ghetto was to come to the democracy square which was only a five minute walk… my mother was still immobile.”

my birthday is in 10 days! i dont have to work tonight so ill probably watch a movie. its suposed to be nice today so ill try to run after school. i loved the waffles my sister-in-law made, she put chocolate chips in it. i hated the syrup though. its wasnt normal syrup it had butter pecan in it. gross! im excited to go to texas! i thought it was going to be just my mom and her boyfriend dropping me off but i guess that we are going to pick up my brother and his wife Blair. i want to do my toes again but i dont know what color. ill probably do them to match whatever color i end up painting my fingernails tonight. probably my black pearl looking color. i hope im not late for my flight. i want my mom to come in with me and help me with me baggage stuff and finding my flight because i have no idea how this is suposed to go down. neither does she but at least ill have someone there with me. my brother does and so does blair. shes in the military and he has picked her up from the airport before so they will probably tell me what to do.instead of writing some other chick is on facebook. i find that funny considering shes always late for class. mind you i dont know what her grade is but she seems like shes the kind of person who doesnt get her stuff together. but besides that im in a good mood. things are starting to turn my way again. i stayed up pretty late finishing this desriptive essay. my problem is i can write a good story but 3-6 pages was not long enough so i ended up cutting it short so the last part doesnt sound too good.

today has started out pretty well. i spend the weekend being very busy. i didnt have class on friday but i dont remember what i did.... but i was busy! umm saturday i went to see my boyfriends grandma. we call her granny. i worked till 3 on saturday (12-3) and then came home and talked to my mom for awhile. she was going to come with me but that didnt end up happening due to her mom being gona and her sister not answering her phone and her other sister having to go to work so there was really no point in coming with me. i havent ran in awhile so i am going to after school. im actually looking forward to running with my boyfriend when i go to visit him although i dont like running. it should be fun. i booked my hotel last night finally. i want to grab something to drink after class and possibly something to eat as well. i dont know if there is healthy food on vending machines. in i mean. but anywho, this is a rather decent morning. i have a speech on steve irwin due today. i hope that i will present on friday instead because i am not prepared to speak on him. i know everything in my speech i want to talk about but i havent organized it yet... though i have an outline. kind of ironic.

so ive been pretty good recently. i have my car fixed which makes me EXTREMELY happy! i dont know what the damage is for the price though. i had to get a tail light. a..... i know what it looks like and what it does but not the name of it, lol. and a vaccuume power booster. i need a radiator next but the thing that actually fixed it was the thing where you pour your brake fluid into and its the thing below it. theres a rod in it too. but we put the booster in first and it didnt work so we tried that. we also had to put brake cylenders in and i decided to go ahead an put brake hoses in too while we were changing the cylenders, they kinda needed it. we also put something else in . the flasher relay went bad and my other shop i usually put it into wanted to replace the while multifunction switch. good thing we didnt need it. m,y flashers wernt working either. but they are now and i drove him around to see the red squirrels that are only on this one street, not even the next street over or the next tree over just this one street. this granola bar tastes pretty awesome. special K with pretzel and chocolate. makes me crave more pretzels O.o i am probably going to book my hotel for texas tonight or tomorrow. im getting like a $15 a night discount for booking early but havent heard back from them if im going to be able to use a military discount on top of that.

im feeling much better today. thursday im going to buy a dragon blade from one of my high school friends. it looks pretty badass. only $25! and yesterday i went to oreilys to buy all my brake parts for someone to do for me today which ill find out the damage after school. hes a pretty trustly guy. doesnt push too much for labor if its a quick fix like me motor mounts were. umm. not much else going on. i might book a hotel today, depends on what my boyfriend thinks of where im staying. i dont think he will care. hotels try to rip you off. its almost false advertisement but its not. they advertise $79 a night but in reality thats only for military personel. made me kind of angry. otherwise its $90. now $10 more dollars a night adds up for me because im staying 8 nights. im kind of anxious. as for my relationship were ok. he seems to be finally acting better but it might be too late. ill just have to push through this rough patch and maybe some day we wil be able to fix this whole stupid thing. i dont even miss him anymore. the things he gave me ont really register in my mind like they used to every day. but somehow if he can pull this one off we might be able to make it. i must say this is the worst we have been. in my opinion that is i dont know about him. he doesnt really talk about his emotions to me. makes it kind of hard to understand him. but umm... yeah. im doing allright. i want to say good but i havent done good in a little while now. i dont remember when i was great either. more of a down time for me. when im feeling a certain way it usually takes awhile to work myself back up to where i was. like i thrive on depression and sadness. i kind of harness it once its started. like my heart is a black hole and eventually im going to get myself sucked into it. cool metaphor i came up with the other day.

Sensory Language

An odd incident happened to me the other day. It was the middle of the summer when I woke up to a young girl bout the age of 7 knocking on my door with her sea foam colored nails. She carried a popsicle in one hand and a red balloon in the other. I asked her where her parents were and she told me that she ran away because they were being mean and yelling at each other. I had her wait on my porch while I changed into some decent clothes. I put on my favorite leopard fur designed shirt and some old blue jeans. I sprayed my Love Struck body spray on, grabbed a mountain dew and headed outside. I found her swinging her feet back and forth on the edge of the porch listening to the chirping of the morning birds.

            “Do your parents know you’re here?” I asked. She answered with her candy colored lips that they didn’t.  “Why did this girl came to my house?” I wondered to myself. She pulled my hand and told me to get up. “I’m hungry!” she said. “what do you want to eat?” I asked while drinking my own soda. “I don’t know, what do you have?” as she headed inside all the while tugging on my hand for me to follow her. I opened up the cupboards to find nothing suitable for a child. “We can go out to eat if you want. There’s a subway down the street and we can get a sandwich.” “I want chocolate! And pizza! And fruit!” she demanded. I was beginning to get tired of

I wish i didnt have to work tonight so i could just sleep. I wish my boyfriend would be able to call me. I just remembered i got paid but i am losing 7 hours on saturdays which makes me kind of sad. after this I will be missing at least 14 hours just from saturdays. i need to re-paint my nails again. im so out of it that i dont even know what to thibk anymore. I want to go to Ireland. Actually i want to live there but we will see how that goes. i left my schedual at the house so i dont remember where my classes are or what time. especially my next class. i cant believe we keep the temp at 62 degrees at night! that makes me so mad! So i live in the basement where its cold anyways and i expect it to get warmer when i get upstairs. NO! apparently thats not the case! bu the time im gone then the heat starts. You know i can talk about all day on the phone but typing about myself is hard to do. I bore myseld ;D. people type a lot faster than me... or they have more to talk about. My nails bother me os much. They are so bendy and break all the time it can make me angry.

introduction

My name is Jessica Nelson I am 18 and I was born in Marshaltown Iowa but was too young to remember anything. I grew up here in Marshfield. I have always enjoyed being outdoors and playing with my older brother now almost 22. I was more of a boy picking up toads and snakes and whatever I could get ahold  of including turtles which I have as pets. I also have a little dog names Delilah: she is six. I have a cat named Vincent which I got last summer. I live with my mom who got separated from my dad about two years ago. My only sibling is my brother. Growing up with an older brother to pick on you can be pretty rough.

My love for animals is so crazy that i dont even have a favorite animal, theres just too many to love! I am studying to become a Wildlife Biologist so I can be always close to animals. For my hobbies I enjoy playing all sorts of video games. Most of my time goes into World of Warcraft. I also enjoy drawing but usually cant get much done because I'm a procrastinator even when it comes to things I like. My favorite food is a mango. I am pretty open to try just about any fruits. The biggest trip I have been on is when I went with my mom and drove down to Georgia without stopping. This spring break I'm going to Texas. My favorite season is summer. If its below 70 degrees you can bet im cold. My favorite color is orange and pink. My favorite artist is Nickelback. I'm the kind of person who will try things just to say i did it.
