My first blog post!

Hello,
 How are you? I got a blog today. It's rather neat.... So in keeping with my blog name, I shall recommend a book, a craft and give you a great recipe. I'll also as a bonus, share a song with you. I won't nessicerally do this every time, but this first time I will :)

Book- A book that I recently read that was great, is "Dave Dawson With the Air Corps" You ought to try and find it. A very gripping book, I could hardly put it down.

Craft- good craft for making for your younger siblings or kids you are baby-sitting it this  http://www.dltk-cards.com/doorknob/index.htm   It is endlessly adaptable. I made tow yesterday, one for my younger brother Noah, and one for myself. I printed the front and back, colored them, the glued them to a piece of thin cardboard, and cut it out. Very fun.

Recipe- This is sooo yummy and very "cool" literally and figuratively :)
