Review for Musicals

o.k. I know this came out in New York in January and it is currently in Japan. I would like to talk about, yes, my dear friend introduced me to it this year, and I have been addicted to all the songs. And we're not doing this musical this year (which stinks!), we are doing 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (it's a good musical too), but it's not it. I'm giving myself a headache by repeating "it", "it", "IT". This musical is RENT!

When my friend and I went to see it, we got to see 2 actors from the original cast AND MOVIE!!! Mark Cohen played by Anthony Rapp, and Roger Davis played by Adam Pascal! When they came on stage for the first number, the crowd went wild. I mean WILD!!!!!!!!!!! Screams saying

"I love you!",

my friend and I looked at each other and laughed silently. The musical was great, I cried right before the very end! I would rate it 5 stars (*****) (: .

Lastly my friend decided that she would be Maureen Johnson, and I would be Mimi Marquez.

Now, if I was a guy, I'd love to play Roger, Angel, or Mark.

All the characters are lovable, well maybe except for one. Benjamin Coffin III.

see ya!

An easy filling

OK guys this is REALLY easy. Yesterday, I said why not make a kinda-really, kinda-not healthy dessert. So this is how it began.

Ingredients:

4 small apples

1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon of cloves

1 tablespoon of brown sugar

1/4 cup of water

A SMALL hand full of raisins

DIRECTIONS!!!!!

1. peel the apples

2. cut the apples up, first into quarters. Cut the seeds out. Next, turn the an apple over and cut the apple into thin apple pieces (do this for all).

3. Get out a pan, put the apples, and hand full of raisins in the pan, and the 1/4 cup of water.

4) Put the 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and the 1/4 teaspoon of cloves in. Then put the 1 tablespoon of brown sugar in.

5) Turn the gas on, and put it in the middle! Take a small wooden spoon and mix. (I use a small wooden spoon because I was always taught short= sweet, long=savory)

6) Put the lid on, and let it sit for a few minutes. When you begin to smell the apples around the house, that is when you turn off the gas. DO NOT LIFT THE LID STRAIGHT AWAY, BECAUSE THE STEAM WILL COME UP.

7) it's your choice whether you eat it hot, with some yummy ice cream. Or save it for tomorrow with some yummy ice cream. OR use it to make apple pie, or apple crumble.

As I quote my friend, Ja; "Bon Appetit!"

Enjoy!
