仙台 えいごの教室

　

  The first week of this month, I was working on my Italian for the exam. The second week, I was working on my taxes. The third week, I was hopping around¹ hospitals for my various health check-ups². They are finally done. Now, I will catch up with³ my blog. (Actually, I had been keeping this topic for a while for my blog.)

 

  Ta-da! This is it! 
     

 

  For the first time in my life, I made sugar cookies WITH ICING!! Look at this! Aren’t they lovely? I had been wanting to try this for a long long time, and finally did it! It was really fun, and amazingly, it was not as difficult as⁴ it may look.

 

 To tell the truth, there is a story behind this. I didn’t do this voluntarily⁵. First some Ampan-man cookies were made by a younger member of the family. As they were baked, the color of the cheeks faded away⁶. Then, I came up with the idea of fixing that problem with icing!

 

  I’m accustomed to making⁷ soft icing for cinnamon rolls, but not hard icing like this. So, I looked it up⁸ on a recipe site. Not knowing how much is enough, I made too much! Then, I made some more cookies and tried to use up⁹ the rest of¹⁰ the icing.

 

　　 

 

  It’s easy — just egg whites¹¹, powdered sugar¹², and food coloring¹³. We can buy food coloring made with natural ingredients¹⁴. It was really fun! 

 

  Actually, I still had some leftover¹⁵, so I finished using it by decorating some store-bought biscuits, too.
