Inventions

My invention that I have been working on was the Microwave oven, and did you know that they were able to transmit information from place to another place I think that's cool I wish they were still able to do that hen I could just send a package to Australia or Balclutha when ever I want. Tha first microwave oven built was 6 feet tall and weighed 750 pounds which is the size of you fridge and also cost $5,000  I wouldn't want that microwave because it would be to big. The microwave oven was built in 1946 and the person that built thus microwave oven was Percy Spencer, he built the microwave by an accident because it wasn't originally built to cook food. The microwave oven was built to  sense radio waves and other things,the first food that got microwaved was Percy Spencer's chocolate bar from his pocket, but the first food that got delibriatly microwaved was popcorn. That is my information about a microwave oven.

Tsampa

Some where around china there is a place called Tibet and their fast food in that country Is tsampa, roasted barley flour. In Tibet Tibetans make their own runny tsampa dish and this is how you can make some.
Ingredients:
Cheese
Sugar
Butter
Roasted barley flour
Black tea or hot water
Tsampa 

Step1: Put the black tea or hot water into a bowl, and drink about a third of the bowl.

Step2:While the tea is still hot you melt the butter in the tea. Then you add some tsampa.

Step3:On top of the pile of tsampa add some cheeses that has been made from dried milk curd.

Step4:It will then look like tiny gold brown pebbles. Last of all you add the sugar.

Step5:Then comes the tricky part. If your not used to it you may end up worth tsampa all over your knees. With your finger, you Press the tsampa down to bring all the tea and butter up around the flour.  Then slowly you work the mixture round and round until it's like biscuit dough.

Step6:Finally you break a piece off roll in up into a ball in the palm of your hands and pop it into your mouth. It's nutty, crunchy and sweet.
