Senior Project Log #3

03/19/12   3hrs spent      8hrs Total

This time I'm going to be on my own and i decided to look up simple healthy foods Im able to cook on my own and i found pasta. First i boil water and then add 2 tea spoon of salt and then i put a whole bag of pasta and then wait for 20mins until its soft. Then you drain the water and then adding oil and another pan you make tomatoes sauce. After that you combine them and mix them all together. For this was a huge success and im proud to be able to make a dish that most people in the world would love. I am more comfortable cooking now, not scared to use any of the equipment , which helped me not make as many mistakes.

Senior Project Log #2

03/17/12     3hrs time spend      5 hrs total

We decided to make something a little more challenging, meat. So we bought fresh meat from a Arabic store and also a lot of other items we needed.

We cleaned the meat of the blood, cut all the unneeded fat  after that we wanted to put species in a bowl with lemon juice and salt , also olive oil , etc. Mixing all the ingredients and adding it on the meat with your hands. Next we heated the oven on 350 and put the tray with the meat inside for about 2hrs. After that the meat was ready. If your wondering the meat was a piece of lamb, which ended up being great. With this dish i was open to add more of my own things which i thought was wonderful because i had all these ideas. That the same time I also made mistakes of adding to much salt or forgetting to add garlic, which would have made the meat taste different. At the end I learned that no matter where our from you can never dislike how this art has a great deal of affect on people.

For our next lesson we would be making something more sweet.

Project Log : intro to cooking

02/01/12  2hours spent 2 hours total

At my first lesson with my mentor , we decided to keep things simple by cooking a nice fried rice , which turned out to be great. For next time we though it would be nice doing something that requires much more time and effort. Even though I loving eating and making small little snacks , having to cook a meal with this effort has question my ability to be any cook or chief. There's many things I need to memories and also having the ability to be able to make my own dish. Now for me the fried rice was a some what simple task , the mains parts where cooking the green pees and the egg individually had having to combine it with rice. But my mentor was only trying to get me warmed up , so I would know what kinda of foods I would be cooking later on.

Ambition

Ambition is what people use to reach greatness and its able to show us the winners, powerful or the strong. Yes it can be a powerful and positive but it has a negative side, ambition takes so much out of a person and shows it can hurt people who desire too much. Now the question is not if its a good or bad thing but its how a person views and how it feels for that person. For me its something that people need to use in life to see its greatness.
