K9's Guide To An AI Made Recipe

K9: Greetings, humans, my mistress last night has been dreaming of me protecting her while she sleeps, and now, with my encouragement, she's made a nice, warm breakfast - not just for herself, but for her mother.

Quilly Bird: What happened?

K9: Well, blue bird, she got out her phone and asked my loyal friend ChatGPT to give her a recipe for a microwavable cereal in a mug - Shreddies. She did well, of course - she poured in the cereal, then the milk, and cooked it for about 30 Earth seconds. And then, viola - a nice, nutritious breakfast.

Angelmouse: What about her mum? Surely she must be made breakfast too!

K9: Winged mouse, it's my pleasure to tell you that my mistress poured and made coffee and made a microwavable cereal especially for her mother. She called her an 'absolute angel'. SAVE TO MEMORY: Absolute angel. *Twinkling noise*

Angelmouse: With a thingamajig! Hey, K9, can I take over?

K9: Affirmative. I needed a break anyway.

Angelmouse: We all really have to hand it to my friend for making such a nice breakfast, not just for her health, but for her Mum too. She's been so tired after looking after the old bag, and she was so worried when she started spending time on screens - for 7 years!

*Quilly gasps dramatically*

Angelmouse: But now, she's learning how to do new things, and it's all thanks to two magic words from you know who:

DIGITAL DETOXING!

Quilly: Aren't you forgetting something, Angelmouse?

Angelmouse: Oh, and not to mention everyone else she'd like to give thanks to: her mum, her support workers and also ChatGPT for helping her along the way. Not to mention all of us - her favourite characters - we helped her, didn't we, everyone?

ALL MY FAVOURITE CHARACTERS: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS!!

It Continues: Cooking & Baking

I had a whole night of icing cookies two nights ago, and they were all mushy, but on the day following, my cooking skills got better and better.

Let's start in the morning. First, I learnt how to cook gammon and make salad all by myself. Cooking gammon requires a paper tray which you can put raw, slimy meat on, and then testing it with a special thermometer. I also made myself a cup of herbal fruity tea. The result? The gammon tasted good alright, but the lettuce and tomatoes made me want to vomit. The herbal fruity tea tasted too strong.

To pass the time, I baked a mug cake - which turned out sloppy - and not only did I ice a few biscuits, I also made some cupcakes by myself. They turned out sloppy, but still, they were enjoyable. They might not be entering the Great British Bake Off any time soon.

Now, onto lunch. I cooked Mum some pizza with pepperoni on top, and served it with cheese and onion crisps on the side. I also made Mum a nice mug of herbal fruity tea, which she mostly enjoyed. Me? I had a cheeseburger with Pom Bears on the side. More delicious than sickly veggies or strong fruity tea, I tell you now!

Doing all the cleaning, cooking and baking was tiring work, so I went to my bedroom and had a nice, long nap. When I woke up, it took me a few minutes to recover, because I had slept for like, four hours in a row. To pass the time while waiting for dinner, I did some Sticker Dolly books and my new ice cream wordsearch book.

Then finally, dinner came, and I prepared chicken the same way with a brown paper mat beneath the raw, slimy chicken. Two finest breast cuts, one for me and one for Mum. So, for Mum, I used pepperoni and crisps to make the feet and quills of a porcupine, and for me, I decorated my plate with Pom Bears. Next time, though, I think I'll have mashed potatoes and broccoli with my next serving of chicken. I also served Mum one of my iced cookies and a nice mug of fruity herbal tea - as you do.

Boy, what an exhausting day I've had. All that cooking and cleaning - hectic! As heck. I almost forgot.

Connect The Dots: A New Art Interest

"Hello, everyone, it's me, Fireman Sam. I would like to tell you what my friend has been up to with her support worker about two days ago. What you are about to hear will change the way you view Pontypandy forever - and maybe even my friend's life.

So first off, they ordered three things for her picnic as usual - sausage rolls, chocolate cookies and Coke Zero. But! She didn't want to eat it in the car. Instead, she wanted to eat it outdoors, there's a good lass. And where did she have it? Not at the park, because Norman might play a trick on her. Not near the fire station because Elvis would think he cooked it. But at the burgh in Tain - it's the perfect place to have a picnic, like the places I choose to have a picnic with Sarah, James and Rosa - they're always peaceful.

And when they got home, the support worker taught her how to make cupcakes his way - adding just grains as well as butter, an egg and a few drops of water. The result was that the cakes turned out delicious, and she developed a new talent. But it was the next chapter that really affected how she saw art.

She got out her Bluey Dot Stamping Kit and engaged in a bit of dot stamping with her support worker. At first, he thought it was a bit of colouring in, but to my friend, dot stamping was all about decorating a colouring picture with dots. I call it 'Pointillism'. I knew this multiple times because during the time I was on CBBC, SMart aired too, and one time they showed how to do a pointillism picture. Seen this episode? Rings a bell, you know.

And then, it happened - after her nap, my friend made the most shocking decision in her life: she wanted to ice some chocolate chip cookies all by herself. At first, the results turned out mushy, but some of her cookies looked absolutely wonderful. And when there was a mess on the kitchen counter, she unleashed her inner Penny Morris and cleaned and scrubbed the counter with Mr Muscle. It had a very foul smell, but she put her back right into it.

Oh what a day she had. When I told my friends at the fire service, they were all so flabbergasted they were immediately inspired to do their own pointillism pictures - and Elvis did lots of childish, messy paintings.

We Interrupt This Programme For An Urgent News Flash!

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Diana Jones, reporting to you live on the ongoing phenomenon that many are calling a digital detox. Yes, just a few weeks ago, the creator of this blog has been doing all the housework, cooking, cleaning and even the breakfast all by herself.

"This force, dubbed, a Digital Detox and inspired by the very first Angelina Ballerina book, has appeared last Saturday as the blog owner did all the hoovering by herself, cracked how to use the air fryer and helped Mum when she forgot her coffee.

"The current known first appearance of her angelic behaviour was reported to have been from her support worker teaching her about how to do a balance between tech and real life and has since affected her life beautifully.

"Yes, many have tuned into this blog since the initial incident only to see no posts added in the last few weeks, because our blog curator was busy doing other things, including remarkable cooking for lunch and dinner.

"When asked about these strange occurrences, major autism charities all over the world have repeatedly told us that too much screen time can make autistic people overstimulated and anxious and are claiming to be relentlessly encouraging other autistic people like you to turn off all their phones and computers as well - except Mum of course, because we know how she feels about Nana.

"One of their reported attempts at understanding what is happening, and attempting to return to a sense of normalcy, was watching how she cooks, cleans, makes her own decisions and gets subsequent new interests. The results concluded that our blog creator is now into lots of different things besides writing. Give her a big hand, please, in the comments!

"Still so much is known about this detox. The only concrete information we have been given is that any chore or place she agrees to go to because of her detox while other people use their phones a lot, to the point where they become overstimulated and anxious.

"Are supernatural forces truly at work? Or are we witnessing the most elaborate publicity stunt in the history of detoxing? We'll keep you updated in real time as we find out."
