Dixon Corn Maze

Wow...The world's largest corn maze. It made it into the Guinness World Records book. So, I gotta check this out.

At around dusk, we gathered at DCF house and departed for Dixon to try the maze in the dark. It was another first-time experience for me, and I was realy pumped about this, especially knowing that it was gonna be pitch-dark all around.

Upon arrival, we got to a wooden house where we paid 10 dollar for the pass and were given a map like this

Making Pizza

One of my housemates, Samuel, is a really good cook and baker. Today, he decided to make pizza from scratch with our aided efforts. We got all our ingredients, including but not limited to green and red pepper, olives, and mushroom, from the nearby Safeway store. As Sam said, the prep work was the main and time-consuming part of making pizza. We cut our vegetable into pieces and knead the dough till the texture was smooth and elastic Then, we sprinkle all the veggies, mozzarella cheese, sauce on top of the pizza dough. When everything was about done, we put the pizza on the pan into the oven, and then we just waited for 30 minutes or more. As the smell of pizza wafted through the air, we couldn't wait to dig in. Finally, the pizza was ready and each of us got like 4 slices of pizza as there were two. It tasted a lot better than it appeared. And it was great joy to see all our sweat pay off. Good job, guys!!!
