Day 7

Todays my class made sausage rolls. I was interested in todays lesson because I have always wondered how you make a sausage roll and was exited to find out how! During todays lesson, I decided to go with the approach that I took last lesson and that was for everyone one the table to contribute in something so we can finish early! After I helped cook with my partner and the sausage rolls were in the oven, I went straight to the sink and filled it up with water and soup and started cleaning all of the dishes and cooking equipment. My partner was then watching the oven while someone else who was sharing the shame table was drying everything after I washed them. Other people were putting the equipment back away after they were dry. And then sometimes we would swap around if someone was getting tired of doing the same job. Everyone worked together and like last time, we finish really fast and the sausage rolls tasted delicious! I was really happy with todays lesson!

Day 6

Today we made Scones. I really like scones so I was really exited to make them today! I didn't find it that difficult making them, I actually found it very easy. I decided to be the one that does most of the washing which I don't mind doing. I think we get everything done easier with everyone contributing in something. Our bench all helped each other cook, clean and dry. I was really happy with the results! And because everyone was helping each other, our table was one of the first to be finished! I will defiant;y suggest this to the next group I have!

Day 5

Today we made Mac and Cheese. I don't usually like this meal so I was a little worried that I might not enjoy making it. Once I started cooking that didn't worry me anymore because I was having so much fun. This meal was probably the most fun to make so far out of the meals I have already made. After the Mac and Cheese was cooked I was surprised about how good it looked... and it tasted delicious. I can't wait to see what we are cooking next!
