Final blog post!

Well it as been an interesting project to say the least. I have cooked many different things, things i am used to cooking an not. I still think my favourite part was making up my own recipes. As well getting all the food after to eat wasn't bad either. I just enjoy cooking its interesting trying to try different combinations of food and seeing how they turn out.
Some biblical through lines that would be connected to cooking are creation-enjoying, order-discovering, beauty-creating, etc.
Well to start off I think cooking can be related to creation-enjoying. I created some awesome foods and i did enjoy them. That is one of the best parts of cooking, enjoying the food afterwards!
Another good one is order-discovering. You start off with some simple ingredients and as you get better and better you know what tastes good together. Its a lot of trial and error but u discover what works well together.
Beauty-creating is also a relevant one, because the point of making the food is so its tastes good. As well if you want to be a really good cook you can even make the food not only taste good, but you can prepare it so it look aesthetically pleasing.

Well i have enjoyed doing this project, because I already did a bit of cooking. So not only did i get marks for cooking, I also got to enjoy the food afterwards.

baking at grandmas


Well My grandmother is one of the best cooking/bakers i know. So I thought I would try baking with her as I am not to fond of baking. We decided to make Apple Dumplings, I was hesitant my self. So to start off you grease a pan with butter, so the dumplings don't stick to the pan. Peel 2 apples, as well a core them. Then slice them into 8 apple slices. Then we had some containers of pillsbury crescents. So we used that instead of making our own dough. You then proceed to rap the apple slices up with the dough. After you have completed the 16 dumplings you have to make the sauce for the top.

 You melt a quarter block of butter in a pot. When it completely melts, you can add 1 and a half cups of brown sugar. mix until it is evenly distributed throughout the sauce. After that you add 1tsp of vanilla and 1tsp of cinnamon. mix this and cook it until it thickens slightly. Once the sauce is done you can poor it over the top of the dumplings and then you are pretty much done. The last thing you need to do is add a little bit of seven up to the bottom of the pan. This keeps the dumplings moist for while they are cooking. Now there was one little thing that could have been avoided, you are suppose to cook them for about 30-40 minutes. Well we kinda forgot to put on the oven so we sat there for 30 minutes before realizing the oven actually wasn't on.

Creation 2

Well I tried making another creation, and it turned out lovely. I have no idea what it would be called. I just got some ingredients that I thought would go good together and cooked this creation. I started off with frying a steak with Greek olive oil dressing. I find in gives the steak a nice zesty flavour. After the steak started to cook for a minute I added the potatoes which I cubed. I made them fairly small so they would cook fast and crisp easier. Then to add to the finishing touches I added some spinach, gouda cheese, parsley, salt, pepper, oregano, and a little bit of carolina BBQ sauce.
