Nutty Sweeties

Nutty Sweeties

See you tomorrow, Bobby! ” Bobby watched his friends get into a car with their soccer gear. They were heading to their team’s first game of the season. “ Don’t let the Panthers score any goals, ” Bobby called. “ And remember to pass the ball! ”

As the car disappeared, Bobby let out a big sigh. Then he grabbed his crutches and started hopping through the hallway. In the gym Miss Shelly was putting food on a table. “ Good! ” Bobby thought. “ Miss Shelly, are we cooking today?” he asked. “ Miss Shelly has her chef hat on, ” Jason said.

“ That means we’re cooking! ” “ We’re making nutty sweeties today, ” Miss Shelly said. “ Nutty sweeties?” Jason laughed. “ That’s a funny name. ” Bobby was looking at the table. “ There are only a few ingredients, ” he said. “ You’re right, ” Miss Shelly said.

“ That’s because these treats are very easy to make. ” Bobby also noticed a machine sitting on the table. “ What’s that?” he asked. “ It’s a mini food processor, ” Miss Shelly explained. “ It will chop the fruit and nuts for us. It makes our work go more quickly. ”

“ That sounds good! ” Bobby said. Cooking was fun, but sometimes it took a lot of time. Jason began reading the instructions out loud. “ Step one: chop one-half cup of raisins. ” He measured and dumped in the raisins. “ Now fire up the machine, Nina! ” Nina pushed the button on the machine. Whirr! It made a loud sound.
