Mark and Anna were on an airplane on their way to Chicago! Anna, who is an artist herself said: "I am so excited, I have heard that they have an amazing art museum!" "And I have heard they have a Two story Mcdonald's there with an icecream bar!" Said Mark who loved food and was a bit on the plump side. A deep voice came over the intercom: "Our flight will be landing in five minutes." That deep voice was the pilot's of course. A flight attendant was coming down the aisle with a cart to collect all of the empty bags of pretzels and cups. Mark and Anna were bubbling with enthusiasm. Their plane was now landing in the O'hare airport and soon, they would meet Anna's parents near the Chinese Food resturaunt. When they got there, her parents were already there waiting and smiling. "Hey honey, how was the plane ride?" asked her mom. "Long!" she replied. everybody laughed. "Come on, lets catch a taxi and go to our hotel." Anna's dad suggested. They all agreed and walked outside. They came out just in time for a taxi. When they arrived to their hotel, Mark said: "I'm starving! Lets go to the kitchen!" They went to the the
hotel kitchen and sat down at the one of many tables with pure white tablecloths. A kind young woman approached their table. "Hi, my name is Cassandra and I will be your server today." she said. "I see that you have children, did you know the chef offers a free cooking activity for children?" The kids looked up at Anna's parent with hopeful expressions. "Well, if it's free, why not?" "Yes!!!" they both exclaimed. "You can start now if you would like." Cassandra said. "How about after we eat?" Mark said. Everyone laughed again.
After they ate, Cassandra led them into the cooking room. The chef, was waiting there at a cutting table. His name tag read Arthur Goodman. "Hey chef Arthur!" Said Mark. "Hello," He said. "I thought we could bake some cake today. What do you think?" "I say we should!" Said Anna. "Great! Now lets start! We put butter in our cake for great flavor, so lets melt some in the microwave. While you do that, I am going to go get some eggs." "Ok, lets get a bowl and put some butter in it, then melt it." Said Anna as she grabbed a metal bowl. Mark got some butter out of the fridge and put it in the bowl. She stuck it in the microwave for 1 minute. After a few seconds they heard a loud popping noise and Arthur whipped around. "Why is it popping?!" he asked. "W-we ummm...we just put some butter in a metal bowl for one minute
