Tuesday, 11/13/07 Who: Ciri and Sketch (with Calvin if he wants to pop in!) Where: The Kelleys' apartmenet When: evening, after dinner What: Sketch teaches Ciri how to bake a chocolate cake.
Ciri had a great day so far. The saplings were growing nicely, she had a nice walk, and dance class was so much fun! It was hard for her to imagine herself with a large stomach in the future to prevent her from dancing as much as she did now. That part was sad although the idea of bringing Calvin's baby into the world made it difficult to be sad for very long. At the moment, her top priority was baking! Sketch had promised to bring ingredients with her so they were able to bake a cake and Ciri could not wait! She ate her dinner in excitement, helped Calvin wash the dishes and proceeded to sit, antsy, on the sofa.
Then came a knock on the door and a gasp escaped her before she realized it. Her friend was here! Ciri rushed to the entrance, opened the door and threw her arms around Sketch to give her a hug. "Hi!" she greeted. "I will help you carry something." She took one of the things out of Sketch's hands and led the way to the kitchen. So, where to start? With a cake, she supposed there needed to be a bowl for the batter and she withdrew one from the cabinet. "Okay! Here is a bowl. What else do we need?" Ciri appeared to be clueless, but really she was a quick learner if the teacher was patient enough.
A spoon for stirring. She had seen Calvin's mother use one a few times before and so she got out a wooden spoon from one of the drawers. Her face was now serious as she was determined. They would make a delicious cake, she was sure!
