A Little Bit About Japan

Henry's class has been learning about Japan this week, and today they are having a celebration of Japanese culture, clothes, and food.
*******************
Henry wearing his kimono that he decorated with a tiger, Mt. Fuji, the Japanese flag, a samurai, and a dragon.
Henry wrote a story about all the things he had learned about Japan.And last night, I made {lots and lots of} Candy Sushi for his class.
Candy Sushi Candy Sushi How To:
Make a batch of Rice Krispy Treats
{3 tbls butter}
{10 oz bag of mini marshmallows}
{6 cups of Rice Krispies}
{Melt butter, stir in marshmallows until smooth, add Rice Krispies.}

Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and pour the batch of Rice Krispies into the cookie sheet. Press it down until it fills the entire pan. Let cool a little. {I made two batches, that is why there are two sheets of Rice Krispies}
Candy Sushi Line gummy worms up along the long side of the Rice Krispy Treat.
Candy Sushi Then roll the Rice Krispy Treat until the gummy worms are completely covered.
Candy SushiPress and mold the Rice Krispies into a long tube and then cut along the side of the tube with a very sharp knife. I got three tubes out of each sheet of Rice Krispies.
Candy Sushi Use that same sharp knife to cut the roll into approximately 1 inch pieces. I ended up with about 10 pieces per roll for a total of 30 per batch of Rice Krispies.
Candy Sushi After the candy sushi rolls are all cut, wrap them with a green fruit roll up. I found mini fruit roll ups that were the perfect size when they were cut in half.

SUPER Yummy Pasta Salad

Ingredients:
One pound of pasta
cucumbers
tomatoes
italian dressing
shredded cheese
Boil and drain pasta. Cut up cucumbers
and tomatoes.
Stir together pasta, veggies, and dressing. Use as much or as little dressing as you would like. I usually use a little more than half of a 16 oz. bottle.
Add a sprinkle of cheese...probably about 1/2 cup.
