snow storm

It was already Wed. 0:30 a.m., I looked outside, it had not snowed yet. I slept, and woke up earlier at seven. Then I checked the teacher’s blog where a message was posted that the school had been closed. I wondered if the children need to go to school. I browsed the TDSB website. On the top of the webpage, there was a notice that the school remained open. I left a message at my chat group of the Linc class, “sleep, do not go to school.”  Then I cooked for my daughter. When I came back home after sending her to school, Iris said in the chat group that today school was still open.

I realized I had not refreshed the blog, and did not know the latest message. It was a heavy snow. It was hard to decide whether to go or not. I knew if I did not go to school, maybe I would surf the Internet all day. I decided to go and learn something in school. There were more people in the bus than usual. I got off the bus, the snow was thick, and it was higher than my ankle. It was hard to walk on the snow road. I thought that the workers may be busy and they swept the main street first. It was only six students who had come to school. We had a pronunciation class. After the class, Ada met her friends, we talked a lot. Her friends were very kind, and told us some useful information. At the park lot, we found it was a big problem to drive through the snow. Pei swept a long trail for the car, and it was a hard job. The tires were slipping on the snow, and it was not easy to back the car. We spent much time to sweep the snow for the car. When we got on the car, we were all relieved.

I was told how to make fish balls before. I just bought two basa fillets. I prepare the material, including: pork stuffing, fillet, wine, salt, ginger, pepper powder, soy sauce, oyster sauce, egg, and flour. Because the fillet has vein, I had to use knife to scratch the fish meat at first. If you have no time, you can chop the fillet up. Of course the best way is to use a machine to smash the fillets. The fish meat was so sticky that I scratched the meat from the knife and my hands. Then I mixed all the material and stirred them along the same direction. If I felt the stuff was not very sticky and crunchy, I would add some flour. When I felt the stuff was all right, I grasped a piece of meat, made it into a ball and put it on a plastic bag. After I had finished, I put all the fish balls into the refrigerator. When I cook noodle, I can put some fish balls in it. It is so easy to do that, isn’t it?
