GOALS RELATING TO HOBBIES: Literacy (Careers/ Skills lesson) - Huriata

GOALS RELATING TO HOBBIES: WALT: Identify and plan goals to achieve!

A skill I want to develop or improve:
Is managing time and being more productive with my skill/ hobby. I need to be able to draw constantly and making sure it's at a good quality, so it can be sold and I can get money (To do other things/ buy stuff I want) 
Ways I could develop this skill:
Manage and plan events/ tasks. I need to sort activities separately (free time, school time, fam time) things like dates and set time frames so I'm well prepared and aware of what I'm doing (no waste time on unnecessary things) I think I'd be more successful if I have this type of mindset and skill.

Food Technology Reflection - Huriata T3W8

Cinnamon & Jam Muffins
(preheat oven: 180°C)
DRY
  • 1 and a half cup of flour
  • half cup sugar
WET
  • one egg
  • one third of cup oil
  • half cup milk.
TOPPINGS
  • 1 tsp of brown sugar
  • 1 tsp of cinnamon
  • 1 tsp of jam

The first method to making this dish was to add the dry ingredients with the wet, until it was thoroughly combined. When the mix is thick, transfer a spoon full into a cupcake tin (When they are all filled but some mix is still there, use it on the ones that might need some filling). Once the mix is all done, get your toppings and using the back of your spoon, scoop some jam and place it in the middle of your mixture inside a cupcake tin, then the cinnamon (also using back of spoon) and then brown sugar. Mix it a little, turning the jam over and then sticking it in the oven. Wait for 15 minutes and check if the top is a golden brown crisp.
ENJOY

Food Technology Reflection - Huriata T3W7

Oreo Milkshake

Ingredients:

  • 1 pack of Oreo's
  • 2 cups Milk
  • Whip-Cream
  • Chocolate sauce
Tools:
  • Blender
  • Cups
Method:

First you get 1 pack of Oreo's and 2 cups of milk into the same blender, then mix until there are no big chunks of oreo left. Get your cups (serves two) and pour an equal amount in each. Swirl whip-cream on top and depending on whether you want your milkshake to be sweet or not, only counts on how much chocolate sauce you put in your drink. 
Now it is ready to drink. 

Reflection
I paired up with Rosemary that day. We had lined up outside the cooking class/kitchen and when we came inside we were told the rules, safety precautions and tools that we may need during the time spent in food technology. There are 8 tables, me and Rosemary seat at the 7th. When it came to cooking I had immediately (with Rosemary) gone up to the table with ingredients to grab the Oreo's, Rosemary making sure to get dibs on milk. I hurried back to my station waiting upon Rosemary to bring back the milk. I ripped the packet of biscuits open chucking all the Oreo's in while Rosemary inserted the milk. She started the blender but with a mere mistake of not holding the the lid down so it doesn't shake (not a fact, just logic) and the milk travelled everywhere in every space of our bench, I advised her to hold the lid whilst I cleaned the bench and the problem did not excel further šŸ˜Œ There were 4 blenders, meaning we had to group up with table eight to share the blender. I didn't mind but my god did it take forever for them to clean a bench and a blender. When me and Rosemary's drink were fancy and done, I really expected the drink to taste just like water - but I was wrong, it was actually really good and tasted my like Oreo. I suggest if you like a sweet milkshake, mix and combine the drink rather that having the ingredients separated. The cream at the top makes the sweetness more subtle and the chocolate sauce is like a liquefied sugar.
