Chapter 10: The Girls Are Happy Again
The first weekend in December, I saw the Sobert-Mifflin girls again, just before finals. We went to Valenza's Restaurant for dinner, and also, Hannah was baking chocolate mint brownies with her Easy Bake Oven. "Hannah, you have your Easy Bake Oven fixed again," I stated, impressively. "Uh-huh," Hannah happily stated. "I got it fixed on Thursday. I can't wait to bake all sorts of fun things for Christmas." "Speaking of food, what all are we going to cook for Christmas?" I asked. "Well, we are going to have all 9 of us over, and we will cook 4 different meals on 4 different days," Sarah explained to me. "I will be making chocolate-covered strawberries for dessert on Christmas Day." "What about our neapolitan ice cream lovers?" I then asked. "I'm glad you asked, Angel," Abigail explained. "I will be baking chocolate cake on December 23, Samantha will be baking strawberry cheesecake on December 22, and Hannah will be baking coconut macaroons on Christmas Eve." "Wait a minute, I can't trust Samantha to cook anymore, so I will bake the strawberry cheesecake," I then stated. "What will we be having for dinner on the 4 days?" "Well, Beth and Nicole are making prime rib and baked potatoes on Tuesday," Emma informed me. "Emily and Shannon will be cooking duck breast and salad greens on Wednesday," Sarah told me. "Ashley and I will cook lamb chops and roasted redskin potatoes on Thursday," Madison stated. "And, Emma and I will make beef tenderloin and steamed green beans," Casey informed me. "Ooh, those all sound like good things to eat!" I then exclaimed. "Anyway, I am glad we are all friends again!"
