I planned for my meal to be colorful, full of flavor and inviting. The spaghetti sauce I made should be thick, with a bit of kick and veggies in every bite. The noodles should stick to the wall (al dante). The romaine lettuce should be crunchy, the dressing is garlicky with a hint of lemon. My angel food cake should be fluffy, light, and golden brown on the outside. There should be a thin layer of lemon glaze, and it shouldn’t taste too sweet.
My meal tasted amazing! It was full of so many great flavors and colors. The spaghetti had a nice warming kick to it. I decided to cut the veggies into small pieces, so there was veggies in every bite. The noodles were al dante and the sauce turned out nice and thick. The salad had a garlicky flavor and was very fresh. The only thing was that I added too much lemon, but it still tasted great. The angel food cake I made was golden brown, fluffy and light. My cake had a thin layer of lemon glaze, which was not too sweet.
Overall I think everything was perfect for my family, but something I would definitely change would be adding less lemon to the salad.
I think my knife skills really showed, because the veggies were cut small and about the same size. I got veggies in every bite I took.
My family is a multi-cultural family. We like making a variety of different kinds of foods. For my dad spaghetti was a comfort food for him and his parents when he was young. I thought it would be a great meal to make, because we really enjoy making this and I believe it describes my cultural identity perfect. I made angel food cake for dessert, because my grandma would always make this for birthdays.
