When we did our end of unit contest for soups and salads, I found our plating to be very fresh and innovative from the rest of the dishes. Using baby butternut lettuce cups as our base, with toothpicks to bind everything, we created a truly professional plating.

Manoj Bhargava: An Invention That is Changing the World

Manoj Bhargava has made many invention to help make a difference in the world. One of the most interesting inventions I thought was the cycle that generates energy. This energy will definitely make a difference because as Manoj said, energy is something that has impacted half the world's population but not many are trying to create a solution. And with this solution, energy can be produced efficiently without needing to harm the environment and create pollution. Also, since it is a cycle, cycling for an hour will also help improve health and give the daily 1-hour exercise that we need. Basically, there are no harmful side effects with this simple functioning machine, which makes it much more useable for people all around the globe.

October's Cooking: Awesome Taste

I found the two treats made for Halloween were truly tasty and successful. The combination of crunchy sweet sugar cookies, and cinnamon tinged, moist pumpkin cookies really worked for me. And to top it off, I prepared a homemade vanilla glaze using ingredients I learned from Cooking class! MY FAMILY REALLY ENJOYED IT TOO!!!

September's Cooking: Overcoming Challenges

In this first month of cooking, I have developed a new and extremely important skill of cleaning up as I go, and washing dishes by myself with speed. I would know how to wash dishes, but this skill of speed and working neatly has really set me up to do better during cooking class, and home when I try preparing some really tasty treats.
