After overcoming many obstacles the tribe finally gets to the place where Rahi’s wife is. “Te Puhuru bring out my wife and my mens will kill you to swift death” said Rahi. “Never” shouted Te Puhuru!

Cheese Tortilla' ~ Red Cocktail Sauages & Pancake Recipe

Here is my recipe poster!

Recipe for Cheese Tortilla's

1 Heat the tortillas until air pockets form: Heat a large skillet (cast iron works great) on medium high heat. Add a small amount of oil (about 1/2 teaspoon) and spread it around the bottom of the pan with a spatula (you could use butter as well).

Take one large flour tortilla and place it in the pan.
Flip the tortilla over a few times, 10 seconds between flips.
Air pockets should begin to form within the tortilla.

2 Add cheese and other ingredients:
When pockets of air begin to form,
take a handful of grated cheese, sprinkle over the top of the tortilla,
making sure that the cheese does not land on the pan itself.

Add whatever additional ingredients you choose -
green onion, sliced mushrooms, olives, tomatoes, etc.
If you would like your quesadilla to be a chicken quesadilla,
add some diced cooked chicken.

Take care not to layer on the ingredients to thickly -
this is a quesadilla, not a quiche!

3 Lower heat and cover pan: Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan.
The pan should be hot enough by now to have plenty of residual heat
to melt the cheese and brown the tortilla.
If the quesadilla begins to smoke too much, remove from the heat.

After a minute, check to see if the cheese is melted.
If not, return the cover and keep checking every minute
until the cheese is melted.

4 Fold tortilla over: When the cheese is sufficiently melted,
use a spatula to lift up one side of the quesadilla and flip over the other side,
as if you were making an omelette.

The tortilla should by now be browned slightly.
If it is not browned, turn the heat up to high and flip the quesadilla
over every 10 seconds or so until it gets browned.

5 Remove quesadilla from pan and cut into wedges.

To make the lettuce to accompany the quesadilla,
thinly slice some iceberg lettuce. Sprinkle some cider vinegar on
it and some salt. 

Dawn Raids Poem

For my third History/Geography task. I had to make a poem about Dawn Raids or Migration. I did a poem about Dawn Raids. We had to include metaphors & similes which was quiet easy to do.

Dawn raids

I woke up & all I heard was a bang from my front door

I was too scared to answer cause I never knew who was there

I look at my phone & it was only 5:00pm

My mum comes back from work at 6:00pm

So from that time I knew something was wrong

That bang kept ongoing as if that person needed to change their undies

I opened my bedroom door

And before I was going to look who was it

Someone grabbed me with strong grip from behind covering my mouth 

Without knowing who it was

I was frightened as if I was gonna die at that very moment

Then a whisper saying “ Shh be quiet, it’s me Jackson your cousin”

I was relieved

But the bang was getting louder & I couldn’t resist it so I went to open it

My cousin was trying to hold me back but I managed to get out

As I was getting closer

Then all of a sudden the sound went away

I was shocked because why would the bang just go away that fast

I was still standing in front of the door

And was thinking & thinking then...

BOOM! The backdoor opened 

Tall black figures armed walking around my house 

Grabbed me & my cousin & chucked both of us in a black dirty truck

I was crying as if my mum past away

I was shaking like a person that was shot to death

Why me? Why now? Who did this to us?

Dawn raids
