Pig by Roald Dahl Review [Warning Spoilers]

 In Class we we're reading a text called pig By Roald Dahl It's about a young boy called Lexington who lives with his great aunt Glosspan. Aunt Glosspan dies one night and Lexington must go to a lawyer to get money from her will. He ends up being a bit hungry and goes to a restaurant, and ends up ordering Pork and cabbage. He tries the pork and loves it talks to the cook and ends up going to the butcher they got the pork from. That's where the story gets good so i won't spoil it for you. It was really good I liked the twist ending and the way the language features make you want to know what happens next. The one thing is that the start is a bit slow bu overall a good book.

Cottage Pie

Today at tech we made Cottage Pie. First we had to boil potatoes. We also fried some onions mince and mixed vegetables in a frying pan. After a little while we added some garlic and ginger. Then we put in some gravy. Once the gravy mixed in with the mince we took the frying pan off the hob and put some mince in the tinfoil bowl with cheese on top. We Mashed the potato with butter and then we put the potato on top of the mice and cheese. Preheat the oven while doing this to 180 degrees Celsius and put the Cottage Pie in. Once the top is nice and crispy take it out. Enjoy!
