I know some of you have done a great job in the kitchen during remote learning. I would like to ask each of you to do two new cooking activities:
The first cooking activity is a family cooking assignment. This assignment would be perfect for Mother's Day, which is this coming Sunday (May 10th). Mom's love to be taken care off on their special day, so I would like you do do something nice in the kitchen. If mom isn't available (or if dad is actually your favorite) then just cook a nice family meal. It doesn't have to be fancy or expensive, just show her you care by taking your time to make something nice.
What I want you to do is simply take a lot of pictures of yourself making the meal AND pictures of the family eating (maybe set the table nicely). If you are using a recipe that is not one of mine, please save the link so that I can view the recipe. We will be having a class discussion next week and you will need to have pictures to post. If you want to write down what you are making and take some notes, that would be fine but not required. You will post a summary of your experience on the discussion board.
I have included a special Mother's Day Recipe folder that you might want to look at for some ideas. Some great examples of things you can cook for mom or the family:
To submit your work for this assignment, go to the Dotstorming website using the link below. https://dotstorming.com/b/5eb2bfb6bdfe60050db88535
Click on the "upload an image" tab and upload your image (try to include yourself in the photo). Write a few sentences describing the dish and a few sentences about why you do or didn't like the final product.
The activity is the "Snack-Off" cooking activity that I posted to the choice board a couple of weeks ago. This assignment gives you TOTAL freedom to be as creative as you possibly can. Simply get in the kitchen and make something with the ingredients that you have. If you want to turn a package of ramen noodles into something a little more exciting...FANTASTIC!!! If you want to make a new burger with crazy topping and flavor combinations...AWESOME!!! I just want you to show-off your creative side. This assignment can be a personal meal or a family meal. Again, take a lot of pictures of you making the item AND the final product. For this assignment you will need to take photos of your product and complete and submit the "Snack-Off" worksheet.
