My favorite dessert

My favorite dessert is Tiramisu ,meaning "pick me up" or "lift me up" is a popular

coffee-flavoured Italian dessert. It is made of ladyfingers dipped in coffee, layered with a
whipped mixture of eggs, sugar, and mascarpone cheese, flavoured with cocoa.
The ingridients are:
6 egg yolks
3/4 cup white sugar
2/3 cup milk
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pound mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, room temperature
2 tablespoons rum
2 (3 ounce) packages ladyfinger cookies
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
Directions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until well blended.
Whisk in milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Boil
gently for 1 minute, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Cover tightly and chill in
refrigerator 1 hour.
In a medium bowl, beat cream with vanilla until stiff peaks form. Whisk
mascarpone into yolk mixture until smooth.
In a small bowl, combine coffee and rum. Split ladyfingers in half lengthwise and
drizzle with coffee mixture.
Arrange half of soaked ladyfingers in bottom of a 7x11 inch dish. Spread half of
mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers, then half of whipped cream over that. Repeat
layers and sprinkle with cocoa. Cover and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours, until set.

My ideal holiday spot

A holiday is like a movie which can be shorter or longer,but its never boring.
My ideal holiday spot is the Hawaii because is the dream of every tourist who loves
the sun and likes spending the holiday lying on the beach, enjoying the crystal clear
waters ,around the Hawaiian island.
Once you get there by plane you have the feeling that you have already entered in
another world, a dream world with great blue sky. The Hawaii represents one of the bestknown dream touristic attractions in the world, a paradise on earth for everyone, but
especially for just married couples who came here to spend their honeymoon.
Geographically speaking, it is a state from the US, consisting in an archipelago
situated in the Pacific Ocean and made of 8 main islands with the capital city-Honolulu. If
one thinks of the typical Hawaiian landscape , it will surely come in their minds a paradise
islands with a tropical climate, palm trees and exotic flowers and of course , the active
volcanoes. Tourists already know the traditional custom of the Hawaiian people-when
reaching the islands the foreigners are welcomed with smiley faces and beautiful flowers
garlands round their neck. You are also invited to watch the traditional Hawaiian dance
called hula.
I would like to go there with my husband and I strongly believe that will be a
unique experience. There I would like to do surfing in Waimea Bay, scuba diving,
panoramic helicopter-tours and I would also like to visit the coffee farms from KailuaKona.
I would also like to discover the history and the Hawaiian culture, participating in
festivals that occur annually like World International Hula dance or Prince Lot Hula
Festival. And of course I will take a lot of photos because there are the most beautiful
landscapes and I will buy many souvenirs for my friends and my family.

My first day at school

A school is place of learning for a child. It is a training ground for him. Here he
forms new friends, comes in contact with boys and girls of different temperaments and
forms new ideas and habits. It is here that he or she prepares himself or herself for the
stage of life.
Its the same old story, you are totally a new creature in a completely new
civilization. Its my first day of school. All the new faces around you make you feel like
you are an alien from a new planet.
My mother accompanied me to school on the first day. Other parents accompanied
their children as well. We all waited in front of the school office.Soon a teacher came and
led us to some classrooms. There we were put into four separate classes. This was when
some children began to cry as the parents were not allowed into the classrooms. I did not
cry because I had been to kindergarten before. Actually my mother went home soon after
for she knew I would be all right.It was an enjoyable time for me as I got to know my new
classmates. The teacher was very busy writing down our particulars so we had plenty of
time to ourselves.Meantime some children continued to sob while their parents looked in
anxiously through the windows.Soon recess came. Some of us headed for the tuck-shop
while the rest headed for their parents. I bought a drink with the money my mother gave
me. Getting to know my new friends had made me thirsty.After recess we went back to
out classroom and my new friends and I managed to coax two boys to stop crying. In fact,
soon we were laughing and playing together. Once in a while the teacher had to tell us to
keep quiet as we were making too much noise.Still some parents looked in anxiously
through the windows.Finally the bell rang for us to go home. Some of us were very
relieved to be reunited with our parents. I too was glad to see my mother waiting for me
at the school gate. I had made many friends. It had been a wonderful first day at school.
I will always remember my first day at school because it was the first step towards
education.
