Cooking at Home Week 2
Tonight I made a stir fry using a variety of vegetables we had at home. I did not use a recipe, I put a pot of rice on and started chopping vegetables while the beef was marinating. The marinate sauce consisted of garlic, oyster sauce, sweet soy sauce and sesame oil. The marinate smelt very garlicky and I knew it was going to make a tasty sauce. When all the vegetables were cut up on the cutting board it was very colorful. Than I sauteed the vegetables until their texture was still slightly crunchy. I stir fried the thin beef at a high temperature until it was sizzling and browned. The meat was very tender and juicy. If I was to make this dish again I would try chicken instead of beef. I did not find meal hard to prepare, so I did not have any challenges making it. I felt accomplished when everyone sat down and said they enjoyed the meal. I was proud of how the meal looked and tasted. Overall It was very successful! 🙂
Cooking at Home Week 1
Communication
The breakfast potato lab went very well for my group. We all cooperated to get it finished on time. We were able to get everything prepared before we started to cook, such as: our sink set up, partially cooked the potatoes, veggies cut, grated cheese and our egg cracked in a separate custard cup. This went very smoothly and efficiently because we communicated with each other to make a plan. When working in a group communication is important, so it stays organized and safe. We all had a job to do, which made it easier to stay on task and out of each others way. The final dish was delicious and well worth all the effort we put into it. The only minor challenge that we faced was watching our food cook instead of using that time to clean up, but overall it was a success!
My Most Memorable Food Experience
My most memorable food experience is definitely my dads crepes. Crepes are my families favorite weekend breakfast prepared mostly by my dad. There are many different and unique ways to eat crepes. My personal favorite is melted butter, lemon juice and a sprinkle of sugar. The smell of these being prepared can wake me up in the morning. Depending on how you choose to fill your crepe, is how you would describe the taste. Strawberries and whip cream, is fruity and sweet, lemon juice and sugar is sweet and sour. These crepes have become a tradition when we have company, because everyone looks forward to eating them. Our dogs would always get one with peanut butter once everyone was finished eating. They would wait under the table, because they knew they were gonna get one. This was and is still a fun time for family and friends.
