I Did Peanut Butter Cookies and Pastillas

Peanut Butter Cookies
Last May 4, it was my mother's birthday and I decided to bake peanut butter cookies for her. 

After church I made peanut butter cookies. I let my family taste it and it was good. I just searched a recipe in google.

Ingredients:
½ cup butter
½ cup peanut butter
½ cup sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 ¼ cups sifted flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt

Directions:
1.       Preheat oven to 375.
2.       Mix first six ingredients.
3.       Add the rest of the ingredients.
4.       Mix well.
5.       Roll into balls and press down with a fork dipped in sugar or flour
6.       Bake for 10-12 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet(I usually grease my cookie sheet anyway) Ovens vary so your baking time may be less. Just keep an eye on them.


Pastillas
I was thinking about how to make pastillas. I made pastillas and it's also good. I also just searched in google. 

Ingredients:
2 cups of powdered milk
1 can (14 oz.) of condensed milk
½ cup of sugar        
1 tablespoon of margarine

Directions:
1.       Pour the powdered and the condensed milk in a bowl. Just pour 2 cups of powdered milk and 1 can (14 oz.) of condensed milk into a bowl. This recipe should make about 80 candies.
2.       Mix powdered and condensed milk together. The mixture may be a little thick and hardtop mix together, so have patience and a thick and sturdy spoon.
3.       Add the margarine to the mixture. Add 1 tablespoon of margarine to the mixture; alternately, you can use real butter. This will help add an extra creamy flavor to the treat. Mix it in with the other ingredients.
4.       Shape your candy into circles or cylinder. Choose the shape you’d like for your pastillas; they can be circular or they can be more cylindrical, like Tootsie Rolls. Just use your hands to give them their desired shape; you can wear gloves if you want to place the shaped candies on a plate.
5.       Pour the sugar on the plate. Pour half a cup of sugar on a plate.
6.       Roll the pastillas into the sugar. Make sure that all part are covered.
7.       Wrap the pastillas in cellophane. You can cut the cellophane in advance to get the desired shape. Then place the pastillas in the cellophane and wrap the ends of it.

Basketball League 2014

One day, it is the Anniversary of our subdivision. We will have a parade before everything else start. We will do the parade with the boys that are going to play basketball.

While we are having the parade, the yellow team is deciding if who will be their muse. My brother and my cousin is in yellow team. Then they picked me as their muse, so I agreed because in yellow team my brother and my cousin is there.

My other brother is in green team. The green team are included in the championship.

Oh! I remember there is a PBA player, in team Air 21 and his name is Eliud Poligrates. He lives in our subdivision. My cousins and my brothers took a picture with Eliud Poligrates.
