Alyssa took a sip of her Cherry Soda while listening to the Professor explain what they were making next. It was going to be some kind of salad. Alyssa looked down at the recipe in her hand first looking at the ingredients.

Text Cut: Ingredients

* 4 slices of ‘bloomer’ bread pretoasted
* 75g blue Stilton cheese, sliced
* 25g roasted red peppers in brine
* 2tbsp (30ml) sunflower oil
* 1tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
* ½tsp clear honey
* Salt and freshly ground black pepper
* 175g mixed lettuce leaves (lollo rosso and lollo biondo)
* 12 English strawberries, hulled and halved
* 8 radishes, sliced


Alyssa reached into the next basket and started pulling out the ingredients and laying them in the order of what she would be using first. Then she looked at the Recipe and read the instructions on how to make the salad.

Text Cut: Instructions to make Recipe

1. Sprinkle the cheese on the pretoasted bread.
2. Cut each toast in half. Thinly slice the peppers into strips then place a St George's flag on top of each.
3. For the dressing: whisk the oil, lemon juice and honey together and season to taste.
4. Arrange the lettuce, strawberries and radishes on a platter then drizzle over the dressing. Top with the Stilton toasts and serve.


She read the directions over and over a couple of times and tried to figure out what the Professor meant by a St. George's flag because she couldn't see any flags anywhere. Not even miniature ones!! Then she looked at the picture that the Profesor had flashed on the screen and it dawned on her. She was supposed to arrange the ingredients to look like St. George's flag. Duh!!.

'Okay now that I've got that figured out, time to make with the bread.'Alyssa thought to herself. She first picked up the 4 slices of pre-toasted bread and placed it on a plate in front of her. Next was the sliced cheese. She picked the cheese, broke it further into smaller pieces and sprinkled each slice of bread with it. Looking at the directions, she picked up a knife and carefully sliced each pre-toasted bread into half, until she had 8 halves of bread in front of her lying on the plate.

Alyssa reached for the bottle of roasted red peppers and took them out one by one, letting the brine drip off them before placing them on the cutting board. She then picked up her knife, picked up the first pepper and carefully sliced it into thin strips. Then she did the same for the rest of the peppers. Once she had all the peppers sliced into strips, she picked up one strip of pepper and lay it across one of the halved slices of toast. Then she picked up another strip of pepper and lay it across the first strip forming a cross on the toast. She had just formed St. George's flag. Alyssa smiled. She repeated the steps until all the bread toasts looked like they had St. George's flags on them.

Alyssa reviewed the directions in the recipe and scratched off what she had completed.
