Stanley
I am most like Stanley because he gets acused for something he never did and has to pay the consequenses and thats happend to me plenty of times. His outcome is finding tresuars from his ansisters and thats really what you always learn. Theres always a lesson in the end. Stanley has curly hair and I did when I was a baby. He also has a dad who doesnt know when to stop but it works for him well!

la project
Avgolemono - 'egg-lemon' soup: chicken, meat, vegetable, or fish broth thickened with eggs, lemon juice, and rice.
Fakes - a bean soup defined in many cookery books as the traditional Greek dish. It is made of beans, tomatoes, carrot, celery and a lot of olive oil.
Magiritsa - a traditional Easter soup made with lamb offal and thickened with avgolemono.
Psarosoupa - a 'fish soup'. It can be cooked with a variety of fish types, and several kinds of vegetables (carrots, parsley, celery, potatoes, onion), several varieties include the classic kakavia which is drizzled with olive oil.
Souvlaki - Anything grilled on a skewer (lamb, chicken, pork, swordfish, shrimp). Most common is lamb, pork or chicken, often marinated in oil, salt, pepper, oregano and lemon.
Briám - an oven-baked ratatouille of summer vegetables based on sliced potatoes and zucchini in olive oil. Usually includes eggplant, tomatoes, onions, and ample aromatic herbs and seasonings.
Domatokeftedhes - tomato fritters with mint, fried in olive oil and typically served with fava (split pea paste). Mainly a Cycladic Island dish.
Fasolakia freska - fresh green beans stewed with potatoes, zucchini and tomato sauce.
Lachanodolmades - Cabbage rolls, stuffed with rice and sometimes meat, spiced with various herbs and served with avgolemono sauce or simmered in a light tomato broth.
Spanakorizo - Spinach and rice stew cooked in lemon and olive oil sauce.
Yemista - Baked stuffed vegetables. Usually tomatoes, peppers, or other vegetables hollowed out and baked with a rice and herb filling.
Ameletita - a delicacy served in Greece and Cyprus made from grilled lamb's testicles.
Bekri Meze - 'drunkard's snack', diced beef marinated in wine, cloves, cinnamon, bay leaves, olive oil and cooked slowly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ desserts
Galaktoboureko - custard between layers of phyllo. The name derives from the Greek "ghala", meaning milk, and from the Turkish börek, meaning filled, thus meaning "filled with milk."
Bougatsa - pastry consisting of custard, cheese, or minced meat filling between layers of phyllo.
Loukoumades - similar to donuts, loukoumades are essentially fried balls of dough drenched in honey and sprinkled with cinnamon.
Moustokouloura - cookies of flour kneaded with fresh grape must instead of water.
Loukoumi - a confection made from starch and sugar, essentially similar to the Turkish delight.
Tsoureki - a traditional Christmas and Easter sweet bread also known as 'Lambropsomo' (Easter bread), flavored with "mahlepi", the intensely aromatic extract of the stone of the St. Lucie Cherry.
Vasilopita - Saint Basil's cake or King's cake, traditional for New Year's Day. Vasilopites are baked with a coin inside, and whoever gets the coin in their slice are considered blessed with good luck for the whole year.
Diples - a Christmas and wedding delicacy, made of thin, sheet-like dough which is cut in large squares and dipped in a swirling fashion in a pot of hot olive oil for a few seconds. As the dough fries, it stiffens into a helical tube; it is then removed immediately and sprinkled with honey and crushed walnuts.
Kourabiedes - Christmas cookies made by kneading flour, butter and crushed roasted almonds, then generously dusted with powdered sugar.
Karidopita - a walnut cake.
------------------------------------------------------------------ drinks
Greek frappé coffee - a foam-covered drink derived from spray-dried instant coffee that is consumed cold.
Greek coffee - made by boiling finely ground coffee beans, and is served thick and strong, and often sweetened. It is always unfiltered, with the coffee sediment at the bottom of the cup.
Wine - the most common drink in Greece. Legend claims that wine was invented on the island of Icaria.
Beer - widely drunk; common brands include Vergina, Heineken, Amstel, Zeos, Mythos, Alfa Hellenic Lager, Fix,
Henninger, and Kaiser, all of which are produced locally, some under license.
Mavrodafni - Sweet, liquor-style, red wine with higher alcohol percentage than normal.
Metaxa - a brand of sweet brandy, 40% alcohol content.
Ouzo - (an 80-proof clear alcoholic beverage that is flavored with anise; it turns milky white with water or ice; the best said to be produced on the island of Lesbos).
Retsina - a white wine that has some pine resin added, originally as a preservative, but nowadays for the flavor; this is an Athens region specialty. It should not be aged.).
Tentura - a cinnamon flavored liquor from Patras.
Tsipouro - Mostly home-brewed, a clear drink similar to ouzo, often with higher alcohol content, and usually not flavored with herbs. The city of Volos at the centre of Greece is well-known for its Tsipouradika. In Thessaly tsipouro is always flavored with anise.

rock project
Soapstone
Soapstone is talc with some impurities in it.
It is called soapstone because it is slippery like soap.
Tigers eye
Tiger’s Eye is a quartz that contains fibers of crocidolite which has altered to a yellow color.
It is formed by the alteration of crocidolite and consists essentially of quartz colored by iron oxide.
The fibers give the specimen it’s distinctive glowing chatoyancy.
Tiger's eye is used mainly for jewelry-making and ornamentation.
Ironstone
This rock is a very distinct rock with its dark red & black banding.
The black layers are magnetite and the red layers are jasper/chert.
Wanapitei Breccia from an area near Sudbury, Ontario CANADA
the breccia from this area has a distinctive appearance and is known as Wanapitei Breccia as it was quarried in the Wanapitei Lake Quarry
it is also known under the trade name of "Aylmer antique"
this breccia is composed of layers of angular blocks, often outlined in black
the lighter pinkish - peach blocks are dolomite
the darker, tan blocks are made of a mixture of quartz and plagioclase
this stone takes a fine polish.
he Rock Cycle is a group of changes. Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary rock.
Igneous rock forms when magma cools and makes crystals. Magma is a hot liquid made of melted minerals. The minerals can form crystals when they cool. Igneous rock can form underground, where the magma cools slowly. Or, igneous rock can form above ground, where the magma cools quickly.
When it pours out on Earth's surface, magma is called lava. Yes, the same liquid rock matter that you see coming out of volcanoes.
On Earth's surface, wind and water can break rock into pieces. They can also carry rock pieces to another place. Usually, the rock pieces, called sediments, drop from the wind or water to make a layer. The layer can be buried under other layers of sediments. After a long time the sediments can be cemented together to make sedimentary rock. In this way, igneous rock can become sedimentary rock.
Basalt is a very common igneous rock. In fact it is the most common rock in the Earth's crust. Almost all oceanic crust is made of basalt and basalt is a common extrusion from many volcanic regions around the world. It forms from the melting of the upper mantle and its chemistry closely resembles the upper mantle's composition. It is generally silica poor and iron and magnesium rich. Basalt originates from "hot spot" volcanoes, massive basalt flows and mid oceanic ridges.
Chalk is a sedimentary rock of biochemical origin. It is soft, white and porous. It formed in the deep ocean far from land via the gradual accumulation of the calcite shells of coccolithophores. Layers of chalk are known that are hundreds of feet thick, indicating extremely long periods of accumulation.
Note that many products called chalk are not calcite. Gypsum is a common replacement (for example the "chalks" used on blackboards), as is talc. True chalk, however, is always composed of minute crystals of calcite.
Gypsum is an evaporative sedimentary rock composed primarily of the mineral gypsum. Gypsum beds can be huge, although since it is somewhat water soluble it is unstable at the surface except in very arid regions.
Gneiss is a metamorphic rock characterized by distinct banding and relatively little mica and chlorite minerals. Gneiss resembles schist in composition and texture, but schist does not show layering or banding.
Granite is possibly the most common igneous rock type known to the general public. Granite, which is named for its "granular" or phaneritic texture, has crystals that tend to be easily seen, although they are generally small. It is a rock that has been used for centuries for many different purposes such as building material. Granite was used with limestone as a building material for the pyramids of Egypt. Its durability, beauty and abundance make it a preferred choice of stone over most others. Granite is also a source of many mineral specimens. Unfortunately, most of the crystals in a granite form anhedral crystals or crystals that lack their outward crystal shape. This is due to the way that the crystals grow into each other to form interlocking crystal frameworks. Although this gives granite its great durability, it limits its desirability as a source of mineral specimens. Occasionally there are pockets within a granite where crystals can form very nice specimens.
Soapstone is a metamorphic rock formed at tectonic subduction zones. Soapstone is primarily composed of the mineral talc whose softness results in the soapy feel of the rock (hence the name). Soapstone has been used as a carving material for thousands of years.
Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock with a fine grain. Slate often has a gray color and may be split into parallel layers. The precursor rock is generally a shale or siltstone. Slate is used as roofing, as the flat beds of billiard tables, and historically had many other uses since replaced (such as school blackboards).
