Everything but the Kitchen Sink Recipe

1 ½ tablespoons of tomato ketchup
1 ¼ cups of red clay
2 tablespoons of strawberry ice cream
1 cup of finely chopped onion
3 sprigs of rosemary

1. Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. First combine your strawberry ice cream and red clay together with a handheld mixer until smooth.
3. Next take you hamburger patties and combine them together in a medium size bowl.
4. Roast your rosemary sprigs and onions together in a small skillet and dump the contents in the bowl with the hamburger meat.
5. Pour the strawberry clay concoction in the hamburger onion mixture and blend with a handheld mixture until fully combined. It should be thick and should still be chunky.

I like the idea but what about lunch and recess? That takes part of the day out too! So even though i like the idea, maybe only one hour of break. Also it helps to come back from playing outside to learn again. Also what abut when it's the winter?

Hello parents I'm thinking of making some changes to this school. I am going to make a change that since we have 6 hours of school the kids get 2 hours of fun time in school and 4 hours of learning. I am making this change because the kids have so much things to worry about at school like homework, assignments, and papers. Now the kids can have fun time running around, and when they come in their brains will be flowing so they'll be smarter at their work. This is my idea to change the school and I really think it will work.

I can tell you feel strongly about this, Mr. Brooks. I like how you pointed out that the children's brains will be flowing. However, won't the kids miss out on necessary instruction?

Parent

2/7/2019 09:12:45

Playing helps the brain grow. I feel like this is a good change. I agree.

Yes! I did it finally! I created the potatomato. The potatomato will change the world. It keeps you healthy by giving you all the nutrients of a potato and a tomato. Also it tastes like French fries and ketchup, so it tastes good. Lastly the potatomato is giant so it will help world hunger. I am really glad I created the potatomato. Now I need to go grow more potatomatos.

Ronald McDonald

12/8/2015 16:51:39

Excuse me sir, but I must have the potatomato immediately! Where can I get it? My customers want it now!

If I were the principal for the day there would be a few changes I would make. the first one is I would allow the teachers during lunch to sell ice-cream once a week. I would do this because ice-cream once a week is not bad for you. It is bad for you if you ate it every day then you may get sick.Also in the same area with food I would allow the teachers to bring in food to eat in class. You could bring in sweets for special occasions. The next change I would make would be to allow the kids to play any instrument at any grade. I would do this because you would get a variety of music and levels, it would sound great! Those are the changes I would make if I were a principal.

Rose

12/8/2015 18:39:51

That is a great idea Aidan.

Hahaha...hahaha...Ahhaha

12/9/2015 16:34:05

Well uhh that was good. You just forgot to capitalize the word THE. It's in the sentence . The first one is...

A.A

10/19/2018 10:05:51

Wow! that is some great changes, however dont you think you have to be kind of responsible to have instruments and not all kids are responsible in lower grades?

Heidi

If was in charge of the school there would be some changes. First I would make every firday a half day since everyone just wants to get out of school on firday. There would also be no homework on Wednesday. Also home work would be easy. Last each student has to bring an electronic to school. Those are some of the differences I would make if I was in charge of the school!

Mr Pestone

12/8/2015 16:53:21

Interesting idea! Would you be willing to add 3 hours of school to every Monday in order to have half day Friday's?

BRRRR!!!The fridge is so cold, but that means the milk will be cold. “Kid why can’t you eat me plain you don’t need milk” said cereal. “Kid let me tell cereal why he needs me milk”. “Cereal I know you don’t like getting wet, but you just taste better with me”. Sometimes your just freezing cold. But it is sometimes refreshing! ‘’Well cereal I don’t like you swimming around in me.’’ Well I can drown! Did you ever think of that?’’ Ok let’s be honest here we both taste good together. Let’s stay good friends here, and wait for our destiny in some one’s mouth’’.

Hello! I am Miss.Young. I am thinking about making some changes in school this year.I would like to have some of the non-verbail autistic kids spend a special (art, gyn etc.) with the "normal" kids.I would like to do this because it would be good for the autistic kids. It would be good for the other kids too.The kids would learn that even though some kids can't talk they are really nice! Thank you for your time!

Mr Pestone

12/8/2015 16:56:34

I love how you put normal in quotation marks. What does "normal" even mean?

A person

12/9/2015 17:57:08

She's referring to no one is normal. We are all unique in are on way

It was the night before the meeting and I just finished up the plans and the reasons why the changes should be made. The next day I walked into the conference room with the parents and PTO members. We had just risen over 5million dollars so I had a big budget. My first idea was to add a trampoline park to the school so we could get kids more active. Also so we could get the kids to want to come to school. The parents thought it was a great idea. My second idea was to sell frappes every Thursday so we could get a little money as a backup if we needed it. Also improve the lunch for the same reason. My third idea was my favorite, it was to put a sports complex in so our school could have sports teams and the gym teacher could play more games. That would also make up for the frappes. My fourth and final idea was the one the parents liked the most, it was to become a private school that only students got picked for but it was free. But if your kid already went there they could keep going there

anonymous parent

12/8/2015 17:01:08

Mr. Civittolo,
We approve of all your ideas and we're ready to move forward with them. There is just one thing...What type of frappes do you plan on making?

Hahaha... Hahaha... Hahaha... Ahhaha

12/9/2015 16:29:52

Uhhh well what about the kids who are allergic to milk? How could they have the frappes?
Are the trampolines safe? What if a crazy person tries to do a double back thingy and lands on their head?
Will their be cuts for the sports team?
Because there could be to much people?
Oh I almost forgot! Will the private school have to were uniforms?
Because I'm not a big fan of dressing up in fancy clothes.

"Men, Woman we have ourselves a 9912 repeat 9912! If you don't know what I'm talking about then please let me explain. My name is John Legend and I own Legends Grill. One day I let my 4 year old daughter make one of our dishes for the menu, lets just say never do that... Ok, so in this meal, there is a quarter pound of sushi with 5 table spoons of vinegar on top. Mixed in with the sushi is 1 cup of flour and 1 cup of peanut butter mixed together. Next, she added a gallon of buffalo sauce, 3 quarts of canned spinach, and 5 cups of lemon zest in the blender and then added that as another sauce in addition to the vinegar. Finally, she whipped up 3 cups of fried tomato sauce and added 2 cups of stale onion chips as and appetizer for this dreadful meal. And it just so happens that someone just ordered one.

Adults are weird for many reasons. One reason adults are weird is that they care so much about if kids get in trouble. Another reason they are weird is because they don’t allow kids to make their own decisions. Also they are weird because they send us to school and we don’t have a choose when they do. Next, they are weird because they get to go to bed later than us. They are weird because they need to know everything about me and school. Finally adults are weird because they can drive, but we can’t.

Julianne

The most disgusting dish I can think of:
1 dead fish (any kind)
2 raw eggs
1 1/2 pounds of broccoli
3 pounds of mushrooms
1/2 cup of licorice artificial flavoring
4 sticks of butter
5-10 dead worms
3/4 cup garlic powder
As many expired things from the back of your refrigerator as you want

First, bake the fish until it is completely burnt. Then cut up the worms, broccoli and mushrooms. Next, melt the butter until it is a liquid in a microwave. After that, put all the ingredients into a blender and blend them until the mixture you made looks like soup. Then pour the contents into a popsicle mold and put in your freezer for 2-3 hours. Finally, serve to the most annoying person you can think of,(but they might sue you for giving them food poisoning.)

Mr Pestone

12/8/2015 17:07:21

I shuddered when I read the "popsicle mold" part. You have succeeded in creating the most disgusting dish ever. Great job, Julianne!

Write a conversation your cereal would have with a bowl of milk.

"Ha. You stink." said Chloe Cereal
"No I don't! You smell like a barn." said Mike Milk
"Oh yah, well, well, you taste bad. Children and Adults combined like me better than you."
"No they don't. I make more things than you like cheese, ice cream, cake..."
Two days later...
"...and chocolate."
"Oh yeah, well I have many types of cereal."
"Hey, you two should get along because I will pour you both into the same bowl in 3...2...1..." said Nate.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" yelled the two.
"Yay," said the milk sarcastically.
"This is so much fun," said cereal sarcastically.
"Bye! Have FUN!" said Nate.

Mr Pestone

Amazing dialogue, Nate! This is hilarious!

James Christian

Ring ring ring. "Hello? I was wondering if you wanted to be the
new principal at Flaherty school? The old one just quit." "Ya sure that would be amazing!" replies James. "Great, Your first meeting will be tonight with some parents! You will be deciding new rules for the school." The school attendant said. "Tonight? But that will make it really hard." James says in shock. "So will you be there and decide new rules?" I won't let you down Sir!" replies James.

As I walk into the meeting I check to make sure I have my book with my ideas. All of a sudden I hear clap clap clap whoa whoa. It was all the parents cheering since I'm the new principal. I tell them that I have thought of three great new rules for Flaherty. The first one is you can use electronics during class. You won't be able to use them on tests though. I feel like this will work because kids that aren't good at some subjects could use them for help. The second new rule is the kids get to choose their teachers and who gets to be in their class. I really think this will help kids be more focused and have work be done easier. My third rule is Monday funday. This is for the students and they get to do what ever they want to, do but if they take it to far they will get in trouble. Monday funday will also get the kids excited for school. I hated being at school on Mondays. Those are my three new rules that I think the school should add.

12/8/2015 17:47:59

Monday Funday! let's do it!

Just kidding...but it is an especially creative idea, Mr. Christian. Quite impressive for such short notice. See you at the next meeting!

The Perfect Singer? I thought it was drawer

12/9/2015 16:40:58

James my man. Way to be the new principal. Also love the Monday funday idea! But take a way the part that says if you take it to far you get in trouble. I also love the class and teacher one. Well you did a great job anyway. I elect you to be are new principal in 2020

1 red pepper
5 alive worms
1 duck liver
2 scoops of vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup of onion dip
chocolate sprinkles

First bake red pepper for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. While that is baking you will chop the worms very well. Then when the red pepper is done take it out and let it cool for 5 minutes. After it cools put the 2 scoops of ice cream into it. Then sprinkle the worms on the ice cream. Next chop the duck liver and put it over the worms. Finally top it off with chocolate sprinkles.

If I were to make a disgusting dish I would need 3 teaspoons of blended spinach, 5 milliliters of Mexican hot sauce, a container of spam, 5 ounces of diced pickles, a quarter of a cup of anchovies and moldy bread. Then I would blend it all together an put it in individual serving bowls and let it chill.

Mr Pestone

12/9/2015 14:23:23

Chilled Spam Soup!!!

Manchu Crunchy Meatballs

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. We are going to start mixing our wet ingredients first. Pour 1 1/2 cup of orange juice and 1 cup of prune juice. Add 3 tablespoons of clam juice too. Now you can add all of your dry ingredients. Chop up 12 pieces of seaweed and cover them in pepper and put them in a bowl. The most important part of this recipe is to get 2 pounds of ground meat and mix with hot fudge. Once all of these ingredients are combined and mixed in the bowl, make as many meatballs as desired. Place the meatballs in the oven for at least 5 hours. The meatballs should now be perfectly burnt and crunchy. For an added treat you may want to dip the meatballs in a bowl of spicy mustard. The only thing left to do is to sit down and enjoy this divine meal. I would suggest pairing this meal with a tall glass of pickle juice!

Ronald McDonald

12/9/2015 14:25:37

Dear Ms Kelly,

These sound divine! We would like to put the Manchu Crunchy Meatballs on our menu. I will be coming to school on 12/10 to collect the recipe from you.

"Hello, how are you doing Milk?"
"Not fine, meanie, you take up all the space in my bowl!" complains Mrs. Milk.
"Please, Milk, stop your meaning less complaining," replies the, now soaked, Mr. Mini Wheat.
"Bwa hah hah hah!" laughs Milk. "Run away from me You Big Fat, splash!" Her milk splashes everywhere.
"YAAGH!" Minnie Wheat yelles!
Thunk! A spoon crashes down on Mr. Mini Wheat, knocking him out cold! Splunk! Mr. Mini Wheat and Mrs. Milk are swept away in the bowels of the spoon. Never to be seen again...

1. Blend on high for at least two minutes
2. Pour in a big bowl

12/9/2015 14:27:06

This is the worst recipe I could think of:
1 table spoon of hot fudge
2 & 1 4th blended spinach
6 ounces of cut peppers
14-18 alive worms
3 snake guts
2 small dead fish (let them rot)
and finally 8 pounds of crunchy peanut butter

So first you would take the 3 snake guts, the 2 alive, and the 14-18 alive worms and put them in a blender until it is a gray color. Then you mix in the 2 & 1 4th blended spin-age and stir it with a spoon. Then you sprinkle in the cut peppers. Next, you mix the hot fudge and crunchy peanut butter until it's a chocolaty brown and until it can pour well. Then, you pour this mixture into the bowl with the other mixture in it. Finally you heat the mixture for 20 minutes. Then you can go sit down and try to enjoy this disgusting meal!

This reminds me of a time at camp when we found a bunch of dead snakes the warden had killed. We cooked them up in a big stew with whatever we could find in the kitchen! Delish.

Jamie

12/8/2015 20:27:18

Adults are so weird because if we make a mistake they tell EVERYONE! But if they make a mistake the they blame it on other people... like their kids! Don't even get me started on the fact that when we can't make a decision they say "honey you need to make decisions on your own". But when we don't want help and we can do things on our own they make the decision for us. Finally after school they ask " how was your day?" even though no matter what happens during you day you will say "good". These are only some reasons why adults are weird.

Adults

12/9/2015 14:30:59

How was your day, Jamie?

As I walked into the PTO meeting for parents, I was ready to tell them about all the changes I will make as a new principal. After all the parents were seated, I began, "Hello everyone! I am your child's new principal and I am going to start off by telling you a lot of the changes I will be making for all grades. First of all, I will only give the children homework twice a week. I feel like they all get too much homework, and they already learn enough in school. Another change I will be making, is that if everyone does their homework, and passes in assignments on time, then every Tuesday they will get recess twice in the day so they can get a break from all the hard work. Also I will add vending machines in the lunch room, filled with candy, water or juice and it will only cost 1 dollar. In addition to that, the kids will also get to sit where ever they want to, and they even get to sit outside if they would like. Lastly, every Friday there will be something called Friendly Friday. During this, each grade at a time will get to choose what they want to do. They can either, play around and do an obstacle course in the gym, shop at the school store outside or inside, there will be raffles, prizes, and music playing for a dance party, also they don't have to stay with their class, they can walk around and talk with their friends. These are the changes I have decided to make, and I hope you are okay with them. Thank you parents!"

Hi. I am the principal of Flaherty Elementary School and I have a meeting. I was thinking on making some changes. The changes were to make kids have no homework for the rest of the year. Another change was to put video games in the classroom. The final change was to let the kids have longer recess. I hope the parents like those ideas. I went to the meeting and shared the ideas with the parents "they said why do you want to make all those changes. "I said because I feel like the kids have worked really hard. The parents said okay. Maybe that is the right choice since the kids were working really hard. I was so excited that the parents were okay with my ideas

Adults are so weird because they always have to do the right thing and kids want to be funny and sometimes be bad. Adults are also weird because they just watch TV all day the don't play video games of go outside. Last but not least the are weird because they are not active unless your parent is a pro sports player. Those are the reasons adults are just so weird.

Hello, parents. We have gathered here to have a meeting about some changes this school needs. First of all, kids should only have 2 pages of homework a week because homework stinks. Second, if a kid gets 100% on their test, they could get an extra recess with all the other kids who got 100%. This will motivate them to do better. And finally, there should be baseball and basketball teams for the students. Those are all my ideas for now.

Hello, Hello parents, I am the principal of west middle school. I brought you here because throughout the month so far there has been a few miscommunication, there has been more kids going to the office and been choosing bad decisions. Soooooooo… I what I'm doing is that every time I see someone doing something bad they will be suspended. For how long you may ask, it starts off with a day then if they do something bad again then 2 days, and if they do something bad for the whole month they get EXPELLED. Today when you get home tell your kids that whatever they do bad it will be a consequence. So this is happening because of every kid in the school has got a bad grade on the tests, so we decided if we do a big test and people fail they will get held back they will have to get a 8O or higher they stay if not tell them they can switch their classes. Tell your kids to study for every subject.

My name is Oliver, and I solve mysteries. I am 7 years old, but already I’ve solved 101 cases. Maybe it’s because I have good eyesight. Maybe it’s because I have good hearing. But I think it’s because I have a photographic memory. This simply means I remember everything I see. I have 7 years worth of video tapes in my brain, waiting to be watched again. A few cases I’ve solved. Once when I was 5 I realized that my mother was stressing about a lost necklace. Easy. I looked back at last week and saw that she had taken it off to go running. It was still by the treadmill. Or when in the newspaper when I was 6 there was a story about a lost cat. I realized in the past month I had seen him in the bushes 10 times. I hope you need a case solved, too! (I’m bored).
