Check out some of the scrumptious work our talented young writers concocted at last Saturday's "Peanut Butter and the Pen" food writing lab!
Food similes and metaphors:
From Eliza:
"The cracking of the chips was like the sound of a thick twig being broken by feisty, impatient hands."
"The chocolate was bittersweet. It tasted optimistic and cocky at the same time."
"Hunger snaked up my body like a slippery game of tug-of-war."
From Tayte:
"The strawberry was as red as a bursting heart."
From Mila:
"The strawberry's blood red color burst into the world."
"Specialty-Me" Recipes - What are you made of?
- Add 8 oz. of school to 5 tsp. of math.
- Mix well.
- 3 oz. of fun as well as 9 tsp. of helpful.
- A sprinkle of writing with just a dash of chocolate should be mixed with 10 cups of family.
- Drop into one pot and let rise.
- After it rises, bake for about 10 mins. until golden brown.
- At the end, arrange some sister and soccer on top.
- (Very nice to serve some Feliza on the side).
