What Have I Been Doing? Last week was thanksgiving, which meant that I was able to help with a lot of the cooking. To cook on thanksgiving it was a group effort instead of one family member fix this, and another fix this. So I didn't solely cook one thing, yet instead I helped to cook a variety of things. Among those things were classic thanksgiving food, such as mashed potatoes, corn, turkey and ham. I helped a lot with the mashed potatoes and corn. This was really good for me as I could really see how much I have grown since I started this project. The first time I cooked mashed potatoes I really didn't know how to and it was more my dad taking me step by step of how to fix it. During thanksgiving though I was able to remember most of the steps. Of course cooking corn is fairly easy so while I have cooked it before I don't think that I have written about it. While cooking for thanksgiving I didn't take any pictures as I didn't feel like it was appropriate to stop my family from cooking and talking to each other. What About This Week? This week I fixed a broccoli casserole. I chose to cook this as it was fitting to cook near thanksgiving and it wasn't too hard to fix. To fix the casserole first mix together a cup of mayonnaise, one egg, a 1/4 of a cup of onions, and a can of condensed soup. After that put your broccoli on a pan and pour the mix on top of it. Mix all of the ingredients carefully, and don't spill a lot of the counter like I did, and smooth the top after you mixed the ingredients. I then added a little bit of pepper just because I like pepper. Put the pan in the oven that is set on three fifty and wait for about fifty minutes for the casserole to cook. How Was The Casserole? Personally I'm not the biggest fan of broccoli, so I obviously don't love broccoli casseroles. But my family loves them. I ate a little bit of it and it wasn't terrible, but my family all said they enjoyed it. Like I had said when I started the project the main goal of mine was to learn how to improve my cooking to help myself for when I am living on my own, but for now I want to be able to help my family by cooking. So although a broccoli casserole isn't something I would cook to eat, it is something that my family enjoys. What Am I Going To Be Doing For The Next Few Weeks? Although it hasn't seemed like this project has lasted a long time, it has. The project is about over which means that I need to create a end product. My end product is going to be showing how much I have improved over the course of the genius hour project. To show how I am going to do this I have started a list of areas that I have improved at and have started to think of ways to present that I am improving and have actually reached my goal. So although the next few weeks I am still going to be cooking, I am also going to be creating my presentation to end my project.
