Book Review - Hide and Go Beak by Nancy Krulik

 

Chirpy is a young chicken stuck in coop all day. She isn't like other chickens who are content with pecking around the coop. She wants to experience the world especially, when the children mention a special place called school. The children seem excited to go there.

Chirpy decides to flee the coop and sneak onto the bus one morning. She hides in the classroom and there she discovers her true love for math. She decides she can't wait to go home and share what she learned with the other chickens. The other chickens do not share Chirpy's love for math but, when a hungry Fox is on the loose, will Chirpy be able to help?

The book was filled with cute illustrations and fun jokes. It had a very simple story for young readers to read and follow along. I liked that Chirpy was able to learn something and then put it into practice. At the end of the book, they also have an activity for readers to do with their parents. A cute read for any budding scientist or mathematician.

Plated - Chicken Tikka Masala and Lemongrass Pork












My brother likes his food plain so no veggies for him~










I read so many good reviews about the food delivery services. They always have so many good recipes but occasionally they have one good recipe I would want to try and the other are so so. I kind of wish there was more variety.  This is my first order,  I can't wait to try the others. :) The only thing I wish they put the steps for creating the food before you buy, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten the Chicken one. My oven wasn't working the day I decided to make this so, I had to stir fry the chicken instead of broiling it.

Overall, the food was pretty tasty and there were generous portions. Now, if it was only a bit cheaper, I would do it more often.

Campbell Go Moroccan Style Chicken with Chickpeas













I saw these on sale the other day and I thought I would give it a try. I usually visit Hale and Hearty or a cafe for lunch and I rarely have soup at home but I thought since it was new I might as well give it a try. I stuck the packet into the microwave and nuked it for a couple minutes. Be sure to grab the packet where it says “cool touch” [I dropped my first bag] and pour it in the bowl. The soup actually smell really delicious. To my surprise the soup was actually a bit spicy and the flavorful.  The only thing I didn’t like was the chicken. It wasn’t tender and a bit dry. Eating the bits of chicken made me thirsty. But overall, I did like the soup. I took a look at the other 5 flavors and only two others really spark my interest but I might get this again and pick out the chicken.
