biscotti cookies

In week two into cooking class we made cookies called biscotti cookies. looking at the picture of the cookies, they just look like small pieces of hard dipping toast. Ironically there not crunchy to bite on like toast. I would assume that there's something special in these cookies that im not getting. These are cookies that are meant to be dipped on hot chocalte, and some sort of coffee.

I remember that taste of the cookies. I didnt really think that these cookies didn't taste that good. in the other hand I bet they will taste perfect with a hot berage like coffie or hot chocate.


At least a 6/10 for this one

Suger cookies

This is a recipe of cookies I was looking forward to. The idea of the word sugar put into the recipe put a grin on my face. After a couple of minutes during cooking class ,we were told to bake the cookies in the next two days. My grin turned into and upset look. We have to wait for those cookies for 48 hours. In the other hand we get to make 4 patches of cookies in these 2 weeks. At least we get to make more cookies.

For starters I had to lead a new group of people for 2 weeks. they seemed quiet at first and taking me a seriously about being their group leader (even though I don't have way to much experience). The cookie dough seems pretty simple to make. just add eggs, vanilla, flour, and all that simple stuff. For each day of making these cookies there will be a different recipe, making life full of surprises. After when we mixed together the ingredients, we mashed it into a ball, foil wrapped it, and chucked it inside the fridge.

yesterday in Thursday we finally baked some cookies. rolling out the cookie dough with the rolling pin takes patience  I do feel bad because i forgot to bring my own cookie cutters just for the fun of it (next time ill do that). We got our cookies set and we putted them in the oven for 10 min. after they were done I tasted one cookie, and I couldn't stop eating them. I decided to bring some cookies home for my family as well. I hope the others arn`t too upset with me eating the most of the cookies.

lentil soups

I remember in that  week we all as a class were making soups like a marathon. it drove me crazy in the inside but in the other hand I told my self, ``this will be over soon``. One of the soups I remember was the lentil soup. It was chunky and hot, but I tolerated that idea well. I honestly don't remember the ingredients of the recipe, But I do remember the taste of it.




overall I give a soup like this a 7 out of 10

Gnocchi the pasta I have never heard of

Gnocchi was a complete surprise for me to start making this certain pasta. Potatoes, and 1 egg seems unusual instead of flour and all that stuff you need for pasta  I tolerated the idea and started to help make it, (even though I wasn't sure what I was doing). After we putted together the porgies, we threw some on the pot and waited it for it to cook. after it was cooked we tasted it. Of course it tasted wet, but overall it tasted very good.

On the second day in the process of making our dish, we were told to make some sauce for our pasta. To me making the pasta sauce took longer than the pasta itself. The long wait of the making was worth it.
We cooked the pasta till they floated to the top. We served them right after there done. the taste reminds me of a porgies in some ways. overall i think this is a good thing to make.

A Few days afterwards I decided to make some myself along with my mom. It was done quickly, but the pastas were ugly by looks. i putted them in the fridge just to make them a little harder. I threw them in the pot  until they are cooked.

Overall I would give this a 8.5 out of 10.

yersina is a unwanted bacteria

Yersina Enterocolitica is a unwanted bacteria in the 12 most wanted list.

This bacteria thrives and grows in animals like cattle, deer, pigs, wild birds, rarely humans themselves.

The bacteria associated with it are uncooked meat, and bad condition dairy products, untreated water, and uncooked seafood

Yersinia can be responsible for Yersinisonis, diarrhea, and the worst of all vomiting

This bacteria is related to a bacterium that causes plague

The incubation period for the illness is 1 to 2 days max

basically the best thing to do to prevent this is not eat raw food and bad condition dairy products

The grilled cheese sandviches and Tomato soups in tuesday and wedsday

For the first 2 days of cooking in the kitchen, we made 2 grill cheese sandviches with different ingredients.
We made the sandviches with premade cheese and the other one with cheddar cheese. In my personal opinion I think the sandvich with the cheddar cheese tasted allot better. The sandvich was messy with tomatoes, hot chilli pepper, and herbs cribbed up with the bread. At first I thought it would taste bad with the bread while it was a little burned. I said to myself afterwards eating that sandvich "looks aren't anything". Just like they say in Dragon-ball Z.


The tomato soups, I can say right off the bat. The tomato soup I liked the taste of the most was the tamato soup that came in a large can with tomato skins. The other tomato soup with milk I didn't like at all. I'm not sure what else to say about the soups besides the fact that they are good with grilled cheese.

So that's my blog
I give these sandviches and soups an 8.5 out of 10
Thanks for reading.

Bradie's photo essay

MY PHOTO ESSAY
By Bradie B.





These pictures would remind me of this school more than any other part in school. Most times In Okaa I would look at the ceiling, to see the flags, and memorizing what country each flag belongs to. The office in the other hand, I would walk by their everyday. The office is one of those places I would not forget for some time. I guess I have more to say about this school when I graduate this year.
