Why You Should Choose RepublicGreece: TyrannyGreece: OligarchyAthens v. SpartaAlexander the GreatQueen Hatshepsut and Ramses the GreatBenefits of Queen Hatshepsut's LeadershipCleopatra's Dulcis Coccora: A dessert from Ancient EgyptI think the dessert was good, but I didn't like the honey part. It was kind of plain because it was only flour, water, and cranberries, but it was still pretty good. I think it would have been better without adding the boiling honey, but I still really liked the dessert. I recommend that if you really like honey, and cranberries and fruits and nuts, you would really love this dessert. Source: My own Source: My own Source: My own Source: My own
The two grocery stores I am doing the research on are Safeway and California Street Market. Here are the Q&A's.
1. Q: How are the two grocery stores similar? A: They are similar because they both sell food and sweets and fresh food. 2. Q: How are the two grocery stores different? A: The two grocery stores are different because the California Street Market is a lot smaller than Safeway, and they sell a lot less food. The main food they sell are tamales, but they also sell chips, gum, candy, bread, and desserts. 3. Q: Why do you think each grocery store has the types of foods they have? A: I think California Street Market has tamales because they are a Mexican grocery store, and they sell candy and chips, including Takis, which are also Mexican chips. 4. Q: What do you think the differences in each store tell you about geography and culture? A: I can tell that California Street Market is a Mexican store, so they sell Mexican food, and Safeway is an American grocery store that sells nutricious foods so they sell fruits and vegetables, and almost any healthy food there is that is American.

Something that makes them different is that they don't have any eggs, so you can taste the raw mixture while you're cooking it. I love these cookies because they are so good and the powdered sugar makes them delicious. One thing you can add while cooking the recipe is a little bit of cocoa and some chocolate chips:) Our family likes to make these snowball cookies every Christmas. These are great Christmas cookies, and they taste delicious. We make these cookies and then give them away for Christmas presents too. Recipe: Snowball Cookies Yield: 2 1/2 dozen Ingredients

Egyptian Farming I wake up in the morning to find the hot sun shining through my window. I get out of bed and change into the same farming clothes and sandals I wear every day. I splash some cold water on my face, and go to eat my breakfast. When I get out, breakfast is almost ready. I ate bread with butter and fruit. After that, I get ready to go to work while my wife cleans the house and cooks. I gaze out on the farm right near my home. I hear the wind blowing against the trees every once in a while, but mostly I see plants and crops that don’t have enough water from the sunlight. Being a farmer is a tiring job. We must work hard every single day to farm the foods we eat. I really do not want to do this, but we have no choice. We are all tired and need a break. I relax against a tree. I feel so happy to finally get a break. I love this part of the day the best. What I like about farming is that we have a lot of space to do whatever we want, but it is still a really tiring job. We eat bread and butter, and after lunch we have to go back to work again. I harvest the wheat to get flour, and then go down to the Nile to collect more water. We collect fruits from the trees. Fruits we ate were grapes, figs, plums, melons, and papyrus reeds. We dry half of the fruits in the sun, and keep the rest fresh fruit. I go and tend the cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, ducks, and oxen. The sun is at it’s strongest part of the day. Beads of sweat went over my forehead. I feel like I am about to faint, with the sun shining so hard on us. My throat feels dry, and I drink some water and instantly I feel better, but my throat still stings from dehydration. We work through the hottest part of the day, and finally, when the sun sets, we go home. When I get home, supper is ready. I sit at the table and eat some fruit, meat, bread, and vegetables. Some of the vegetables we got from farming the fields were onions, leeks, garlic, beans, lettuce, lentils, cabbages, radishes, and turnips. After dinner, I finally get to take a rest before the next days work.

Prepare the sweets by mixing the flour and water and adding dried figs and walnuts. Shape the mixture into little balls to cook and caramelize in the boiling honey. Let the dulcis cool and serve them adorned with pomegranate seeds or slices of your preferred fruit. |
