How I spent my time in the Holidays- Explantions

The Holidays are a two weeks break from school when we do not attend school between Term 3 and Term 4 also during the Month of October.

In the Holidays we decided to cook burgers and fries so we then got out the BBQ cooker to cook the patties. We got it out and started cleaning it then we got the patties and put them on the grill. Then when we heard it sizzle we started rotated them to the other side. Once it was done we then started to make it we started off making it by getting out the buns. Then we start from the patties after putting it on we added a few lettuce then we put on some pickles, onions, Beetroot, and some Mustard, and for finishing we added ketchup.

When we finished making burgers and fries we started eating it while eating the burgers that we made the mum told us that people were coming to our house so we made more burgers and fries for the guest that came to our house.

It was Exciting and fun getting to make those burgers.
