Chef Gazpacho’s Valentine’s Cookies
Ms. Cowoline asked me to make something yummy for the kids to snack on during the dance. I’m sure they’re going to love this easy recipe! What you need: - 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour - 2/3 cup sugar - 1 teaspoon baking powder - ½ teaspoon salt - ¾ cup butter, softened - 2 Tablespoons milk - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 2 eggs - Heart shaped cookie cutter What you do: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add butter, milk, vanilla and eggs, and mix at low speed until well blended. Refrigerate, covered, for two hours. Preheat oven to 350° and grease cookie sheet. Sprinkle flour on a clean, flat surface and roll out one half of dough to ¼” thick. With cookie cutters, cut out cookies and place them one inch apart on cookie sheet. Sprinkle lightly with sugar, and bake for 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely and repeat with remaining dough. These cookies are going to make the Kinzville Academy Valentine’s Dance extra sweet!
Purr-Cilla moves in
Hee hee! This is awesome! Looks like everyone is starting to see Salley for the lame cat she really is. I love it! This is my big chance. I just know that I will soon be the new president of Kinzville Academy School Council. While everyone was grumbling about the confusion over Salley’s Valentine’s party (or should I say Dull-entine’s party?), I took the opportunity to throw out MY fabulous idea about a new location for the school trip this year. I mean, who wants to go to the boring old park AGAIN? I can go to the park any old time. So I started suggesting to some of the kids that this year we go to the BIG CITY! Wouldn’t that be spectacular? I really think that is the setting that I belong in, you know? It’s flashy, it’s bold – it’s Purr-cilla! A lot of the kids were really enthusiastic about it. Of course, there were also some buzz-killers (read: Salley’s friends) who wanted to stick to the boring old park, and Ms. Cowoline said that she really didn’t think we’d be able to afford it. But just you wait. Everything … Read more
Salley does damage control
Oh, this day is NOT going well. I realized that I was going to have to try and put a leash on this monster of a party that Stoogles had set loose upon the world. I knew I’d have to be really diplomatic so I just went around and explained to everybody that had mentioned the party yesterday that I was just having a small get together with a few close girlfriends and that, while I would love to include them, it just wouldn’t work with my mom being out of the house and all. Maybe that was not the way to go. When I told Laurabeard, she looked really hurt and said that she thought she WAS one of my close girlfriends. How awkward was that? Then Sparky asked me if I thought girls were better than boys. Of course I don’t think that but when I told him that was a stupid question he said that now I was calling him stupid! What? Then Alex asked if I thought all boys were stupid or just Sparky and so I said just Sparky and Sparky freaked. But that wasn’t what I meant at all! … Read more

Salley and Stoogles disagree
Oh. My. Gosh. Stoogles is completely out of control! You know how my mom said I could have a few friends over on Valentine’s Day? And by ‘a few’, she specifically meant no more than four? Well, today when I was walking through the hall at school, I swear every other person who passed me said something like, “Hey Salley! Can’t wait for your party!” or “See you at your Valentine’s party!” It seemed like almost everyone at school thought they were coming to my place on Valentine’s Day for a party! How many guests did Stoogles invite? This is crazy! I finally tracked him down. He was standing in his classroom, surrounded by a group of about ten students, telling them all how awesome my Valentine’s Party was going to be! I dragged him out of there and told him that he was going to have to fix this mess he had created. He acted like he didn’t even know what I was talking about! He said he had really only invited a couple of friends. I told him that clearly was not true and do you know what he said … Read more

Hailey & Elwin redecorate Sam McWoof’s office
Hey readers! It’s me, Elwin. Recently Hailey and I got a call from our friend, Ella McWoof. She’s been helping out in her uncle Sam McWoof’s office lately and she said that it really needed a pick-me-up. She thought it was a bit dated and that it could be organized so that Sam had better access to his files as well as a place to meet with clients. Sam agreed with Ella and said that she had carte blanche to change up his office however she sees fit. He even gave her access to his account at the W Shop and the eStore. Of course Ella knew exactly what to do – she called us! So this is Sam’s office before. It’s okay, I guess. Kind of has a country feel to it though. It just doesn’t say ‘Big City Detective’ to me, you know? I’m not sure how much he gets done at that desk either – it’s more decorative than functional, and if there’s anything a busy guy like Sam needs, it’s function. Hailey and I felt that we really needed to add some sophisication as well as hi-tech gadgetry to … Read more
