What are you doing this October?

Have nothing planned? Well, there

can attend that are family friendly

and fun in Miami. There are also

museums, zoos, and even a cinema!

There are a few festivals, such as the

Coconut Grove Pumpkin Patch Festi-

val. It is located in Coconut Grove at

3400 Pan American Drive. This festi-

val runs from October 21st to the 23rd

and a corn maze. Also, they have a

station to dress up scarecrows!

Furthermore, Zoo Miami is hosting a

festival. It is located at 12400 SW

152 St. The admission is from $15 to

$19. Zoo Boo is a place where kids

can trick-or-treat. They also have

costume contests. It takes place on

“Samsara,” “Whatever Happened to

It’s October, and with a new

month comes activities hot off the

press.

In these autumn issues of Stave

Off Boredom, we take a look at

cooking ideas that will make your

mouth water. For our Halloween

article, we will do candy corn

milkshakes. If you like

milkshakes and candy corn (it

doesn’t need to be Halloween),

then this is essentially dedicated

to you. This recipe will create at

most 10 milkshakes depending on

what you pour them into.

You will need:

1 quart Vanilla Ice Cream

1 quart Orange Sherbet

Whipped Cream/Cool

Whip® (optional)

Yellow Food Coloring

Red Food Coloring (to make

an orange effect if you don’t

have orange sherbet)

Black, Yellow, and Orange

Sprinkles (optional)

Mason jars/clear plastic

cups/drinking glasses

1. Remove your ice cream and

sherbet from the freezer to

soften for 25 minutes at

most.

2. Once your ice creams are

soft, take 1/3 or 2/3 quarts of

vanilla ice cream (again,

depending on if you have

orange sherbet) and use food

coloring to dye one third

yellow and one third orange

(if orange sherbet is unavail-

able). Put the unused ice

cream back into the freezer

before dyeing your measured

ice cream.

3. Quick! Put your yellow ice

pany you or your family. There is a

costume contest for your dogs. This

is located at Pinecrest Gardens 11000

Red Road, on October 29st from

12:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The cost is

$5 admission with $1 of the fee to be

used as a donation for Paws4You.

So, there are some of the things you

can do this Halloween. From the zoo

to the cinema! For you, your family,

and friends!

cream into your preferred

cup. Make sure you have

evened it out with a spatula

or knife before doing so. If

you use a knife, get an adult

to help you, preferably your

parents or older siblings.

Take your cups and place

them in the freezer for 5-10

minutes. While this happens,

take out your vanilla ice

cream and let it soften.

4. Take your cups out of the

freezer and place your orange

ice cream into them. Scoop

1/3 quart of vanilla ice cream

and place it in a bowl. Put

your vanilla ice cream tub (if

there is any left in said tub)

into the freezer with your

milkshakes. Let your

milkshakes freeze for 5-10

minutes.

5. Take your milkshakes out of

the freezer and place the va-

nilla ice cream in carefully.

Top off your milkshake with

whipped cream/Cool Whip®

and sprinkles.

6. If it looks like this, you’ve

mastered this milkshake.

More activities are coming,

so stay tuned!

Look out!

These yel-

low min-

ions are

invading

the box

office with

their new

hit Despic-

able Me 3!

Gru and Dru (Steve Carell) go on a

mission with Lucy(Kristin Wiig)

and, our favorite, the MINIONS

(Pierre Coffin). They have to de-

feat 80s music lover Balthazar

Bratt (Trey Parker). Gru has a big

challenge to handle his three girls

Margo(Miranda Cosgrove), Edith

(Dana Gaier), and Agnes(Nev

Scharrel). According to Mike

McGranaghan, from Aisle Seat,

“The movie is just as satisfying as

its predecessors.”

So, if you have money, buy or rent

the movie because it is a fascinat-

ing movie. It has 97 fresh and 64

rotten tomatoes from the Rotten

Tomatoes website. It has 6.3/10

stars from the International Movie

Database, and it’s rated P.G., so all

the family can watch it.

If you have nothing to do go rent

Food Reviews With Alyssa ~Alyssa Elaluf

Out on a drive with friends or family and you’re in the mood authen-

tic Mexican food? Go down to Taco Rico today!

Taco Rico is a family friendly restaurant. From the moment you walk

in, you feel like you’re in Mexico. In Taco Rico, if you like the deco-

rations, wait for the food! The smell alone makes your mouth water.

Want more… keeping reading.

Info about Taco Rico:

According to their website, Taco Rico’s hours are from 10:30 am to

10:00 pm on Monday through Thursday, Friday and Saturday from

10:30 am to 11:00 pm, and Sunday from 12:00 pm to 10:00 pm.

Taco Rico doesn’t take reservations; however, they do deliver and

take out. They easily take credit cards, yet they do not accept Apple

Pay. They have been known for mostly lunch and dinner. Also, they

accept big groups and are family friendly, and they also cater. Do

your parents worry about parking? Don’t worry, there’s a private lot,

bike parking, and is wheelchair accessible. If you don’t want to dress

fancy, the attire is causal. They have a nice average noise level, so

you can eat your meal while watching any type of sport on the TV.

Along with that, if you love the outdoors, there are outdoor seats, and

the waiters still bring your food outside. Unfortunately, they sadly

have no Wi-Fi.

Taco Rico’s History

Taco Rico was first built in Coral Gables and has been around since

1992. That’s 25 years! Now the creator and the main director of this

Mexican restaurant has been in the food production since he was 16

years old, and his name is Leland Neal. According to

www.tacoricoctm.com, “We are working hard to maintain the same

concept which has made this restaurant successful, fresh homemade

Tex Mex cuisine, laid-back family atmosphere and personalized at-

tention.” When Mr. Neal created this business, he tried keeping the

same concept in every Taco Rico he opened. He also wanted to keep

very bold flavors and traditional foods.

My Opinion

I first went to Taco Rico two or three years ago, during winter. I

really liked it because when it was cold, it was pleasing to have a nice

hot meal. After that, every time we went out to eat and wanted Mexi-

can food, my brother and I both said at the same time, “Taco Rico.”

Box Office Hits ~Julian Pavetti

If you like adventures and

mystical and magical

things, Harry Potter,

which is a famous movie

saga and a famous book

collection, could be the

perfect book for you!

This series was written by

J.K. Rowling (Joanne Kathleen Rowling)

in 1997. She has sold over 400 million

Harry Potter books.

”Harry Potter is one of the best books of

the year. Magical writing, wonderful de-

scriptions, and very intriguing characters

make an amazing book,“ said Calhoun

Globe.

If you were a Harry Potter fan when the

7th movie came out, you might have

thought, “Why did it take so long to come

out?” Well, you might not know that the

movie took 365 days to be completed ac-

on Venezuelan TV.

When Harry Potter’s parents were

killed, Harry is left at his uncle and

aunt’s doorstep by Dumbledore

(Hogwarts’ headmaster). After

spending 11 years with his uncle,

aunt, and cousin, Harry learns that

he is a wizard. He starts attending

to Hogwarts, the magic school for

witches and wizards, where he

meets Ron Weasley and Hermione

Granger, who will soon be Harry’s

best friends. Together, these three

friends start having exciting adven-

tures.

Ready for a great game? Well the

Denver Broncos played the Oakland

Raiders on October 2, 2017.

This was a great game to watch! The

Denver Broncos scored 1 touchdown

and 3 field goals. Also, the Raiders

made 1 touchdown and 1 field goal .

J. Derby, tight end, made a one hand grab

to score Denver’s first touchdown. Next,

Brandon McManus made a field goal and

brought the Broncos lead to 10-0.

Raider’s wide receiver, Johnny Holton,

caught a deep pass to score the first touch-

down for the Raiders, which made the

score 10-7. Next, the Bronco’s kicker made

a 46-yard field goal. The Broncos scored

two more field goals after that. Then, the

Raiders scored a 38-yard field goal to make

this game 19-10. So, the Broncos won the

game 19-10.

Hope to see you again.

Sports Recap ~Dylan Miller

Ruff Review ~Camila Cuervo

Do you want a doggo that is

loving, short, and playful?

Well then, a Pembroke Welsh

Corgi is the right dog for you.

These short lumps of fur are

favorable when it comes to

training, and they are great in

big and small homes. Here is

more information about these

loving creatures.

Personality: Corgi’s are very brainy, observant and sympa-

thetic. They are ambitious and a bit heroic, and they are all

heart. http://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/pembroke-welsh-

corgi/

Energy: Restless! Corgi’s are mighty strong and very adven-

turous. They love to play and are always looking for some-

thing to do. http://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/pembroke-welsh-

corgi/

Grooming: For every dog, there is always some type of

shedding. Corgi’s have a coat that is easy to groom. The coat

sheds only two times a year. They don’t need to get bathed so

often, so it makes maintaining them much easier.

https://www.dogbreedinfo.com/pembrokecorgi.htm

Height and Weight: The males usually grow up to be 10-12

inches tall (25-30 cm), and the females usually grow up to be

around the same height. Male corgis weigh around 24-30 lbs

(10-14 kg), and female Corgis weigh around 24-28 lbs (11-13

kg). https://www.dogbreedinfo.com/pembrokecorgi.htm

Health Dilemmas: According to Dog Breed Info wesite,

https://www.dogbreedinfo.com/pembrokecorgi.htm, the Cor-

gi breed can be exposed to a few disorders. They can be ex-

posed to PRA (progressive retinal atrophy), glaucoma, and

back diseases. The Corgi breed can gain weight very easily,

so it’s very important to not overfeed them because a Corgi

getting overweight can cause back disorders.

So, there you have the one and only Pembroke Welsh Corgi!

I hope you are interested in this dog breed! This was a "ruff"

review to make! This reviewer is out!
