The Best Dinner Ever!

I just started looking at Jamie Oliver and I made a lamb kebab dish that he made on one of his shows.
Here's a link to the recipe http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/lamb-recipes/grilled-lamb-kofta-kebabs-with-pistachios-and-spicy-salad-wrap

I put the meet in the food processor with the spices and blended until it was like a mince,
then put it on a metal skewer.

I grilled it on a frying pan until it was nice and gold.

I took them off the skewers and broke them off with some salad and yoghurt on a piece of flat bread.

It got a bit messy but the results were delicious!!!!

Giant Sequoias.

I've been learning about the giant sequoia trees in California -the giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) and the coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens).

I'm really interested in these kinds of trees because they're so big and I feel connected to them.

I found this website of the first sequoia trees that were found and cut by Europeans

This tree was cut down in 1853 and they used the trunk for a dancefloor.

It makes me sad that they had to cut down these beautiful trees.

I'm glad that they don't cut the sequoias down much any more.

Here's a picture of me as a baby with my mum at the sequoia trees in California.
