After having our 'curry' fest in FS 11, a great article on the colonization of the word curry. Sorry no pictures yet of the 6 different ones we made as I'm having issues uploading pics from my phone :(

For some reason, the app has been incredibly slow with uploading pics. As a result, the blog has not been updated lately. Sorry about this but I'll try to fix it soon!
The senior students got a chance to cook a full spread thanksgiving luncheon including the regular turkey, pumpkin pie, mash and two plus veg. Students got to help out with the stuffing and carving of the turkey and eventually we all sat down around one loosely designed long table.
What's left in the kitchen? The grade 8's got a chance to learn how to cook a meal for themselves by learning to make a pasta dish from scratch with whatever is left in the fridge (el cheapo mccallum). They also learned about not overcooking veg. And noodles to ensure a perfect dish. Big shout out to the groups that tried to show presentation plating. They were rewarded with being on my world famous website!
Unfortunately only one grade 8 class had a chance to test out their skills. The secret ingredient was a potato this time. After some frantically looked on the net for "what the heck to do with a potato" the competition was on. Just like the gr. 11's, there was no help from myself.
With a 70 minute time limit, the class was given a secret ingredient in which to make something with. The secret ingredient this time was pizza dough. With no help from the teacher, the students were able to come up with some amazing creations including calzones, pizza pockets, cinnamon buns and even an asian stir fry. Well done to this creative class!
Grade 8's have been learning how to thread....not their sewing machines yet but their kneaded dough :). We started with pizza rolls and they will continue next class with cinnamon pinwheels.
The senior class has started their trip around the world. We started in the far east with Japan being the first port of call.
