Map Art
My Map art is a map where I cut out different places and different meanings. So I am happy at Coney Island so I cut out coney island in a circle and put a smiley face on it. I live on 16th street so I cut out 16th street in the shape of a house. I like to eat in the west village so I cut out part of the west village in the shape of a chicken leg. And a few other things. 
How to Make Chapatis – By Phulan
If you are looking for something to make you should make chapatis! Chapatis are thin pancakes of whole-grain bread cooked on a griddle.
To make chapatis you need:
Step one of making chapatis:
In a large bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour and salt. Use a wooden spoon to stir in the olive oil and enough water to make a soft dough that is elastic but not sticky. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is smooth. Divide into 10 parts, or less if you want bigger breads. Roll each piece into a ball. Let rest for a few minutes.
Step 2:
Heat a skillet over medium heat until hot, and grease lightly. On a lightly floured surface, use a floured rolling pin to roll out the balls of dough until very thin like a tortilla. When the pan starts smoking, put a chapati on it. Cook until the underside has brown spots, about 30 seconds, then flip and cook on the other side. Continue with remaining dough.
Thank you for learning how to make chapatis!!
What Should I Wear? – By Phulan
My wedding is coming up soon and I need help finding what color shawl I should wear, what color should my dress be, and what should I wear in general. If you want a new shawl I recommend getting one that matches your eye color. My eye color is gold so I am wearing a gold shawl to my wedding. A shatoosh is very hard to find, but if you find one should buy it. They don’t make them anymore. But a shatoosh is very pretty. There are so few wild goats and nobody has the patience to gather the chin hairs from the bushes where they graze. Even the richest man in Pakistan can’t afford to buy a shatoosh. (pg. 73)
