Personal thoughts  

Even though was not their to do this assignment I went home and decided to do it because I need a good mark in this class and like cooking. I personally hate the rasin part to the oatmeal so I took it out and put ice cream in it. Great choice i think because on one hand you have a dried fruit and the other a creamy god like food no choice really haha.I love cooking especially after your done cooking it you can eat because if you didnt get to eat it I wouldn't make anything.

Personal thoughts

This week we learned about our knife skills and how to hold and cut with the knife properly.I thought this was effective because we had to cut the potatoes in to thin slices. I thought that it didn't go very well because the long fries took a very long time to cook and we needed about thirty more minutes to finish. Which was annoying because it tasted very bad but it was fun learning how to hold the knife properly and cutting the potatoes right. I wish we could have learned how to peel the potatoes because I would have like to make my own potatoes this weekend for lunch.

 Personal thoughts 

I thought this was a great first thing to cook because it was easy make and even better to eat. I thought one of the harder parts was the spreading of the butter we didn't think of warming up the pan before putting the butter on we just put it on. Making the syrup for it was cool to watch it go from a big clump of gross to  liquefied amazing. I thought it was very funny how one of my group members said he new exactly how to do everything and he was the only one screwing up.
