Mac n Cheese
D’Kari M.
7th Grade
Mac and cheese
not the best to some people
but it’s good to me. The
cheesy strings, the crispy top
and the melt when you dip your spoon
and get your scoop. The
crispy, orangish color, the sizzle when
it comes out the oven. When you make
it, you can’t wait to eat it. The cheese
poured in the bowl, the
milk poured through the mac, cracking
the eggs into the bowl. When it’s set on
the table, everybody is pumped and
ready to eat it. When your nana puts your
scoop on your plate, you just get
filled with joy and warmth.

Dumplings like 76 flavors wrapped in a blanket
