Reflection of Week One

 This week, it has been so much fun to work in the kitchen with Barb and all of the other kitchen staff. Already, I have learned new skills in the kitchen and have found my way around. This week we made baked goods for 10 different dorms and plan on making more goods for the rest of the dorms next week. It has been fun for Jaimes and I everyday to learn about the different things that you can make and how to make them properly. Baking is a life skill that I will always have because of this. It has also been nice being able to help out the dining hall. They do so much for us so it has been nice to give something back and help them out where we can. Some days, we helped serve the food during lunch time. I know that they appreciated that help. I have brought leftovers to my dorm most days and they have loved everything that we have made. Everything tastes so good and it is a really rewarding thing to eat something that you made yourself. It feels good to be making people happy with the things that we are making. This week has been really fun and I look forward to continuing next week!

Senior Project Day 2

 For senior project today, Jaimes and I started out by eating the cinnamon roles that we made yesterday. They were so good and tasted better because we made them. After that, we started making the batter for our red velvet cupcakes that we will be giving to a few dorms tonight.  After making the batter, we scooped it into cupcake tins and put them in the oven.  While the cupcakes were cooking and cooling, Jaimes and I helped the dining hall staff with serving the food to the kids. We served the bread that we made yesterday. We took a break in between lunch to eat, and then helped with the second lunch.  When the Cupcakes were out of the oven and cool, we made the buttercream frosting, then put the frosting on. After the cupcakes were done, we packaged them up to bring to dorms.  When the cupcakes were done, we helped Hannah make the mini chocolate chip muffins for tomorrow's breakfast. We made the batter and then scooped it into the mini muffin tins. Then we hea...

 Today, Jaimes and I made coffee cake with Barb for Sally B dorm. We got to the kitchen and got right to work with Barb. We started by making the streusel topping for the cake with cinnamon and oats and sugar.  The next thing we did was make the dough for the cake. When all of the parts were done, we layered the dough and the streusel on top of each other until it was a cake. After that we put it in the oven to bake. While that was baking, we helped serve lunch for the school. When we were done with lunch, we took our cake out of the oven and packaged it for Sally B. We then delivered it to Sally!

Senior Project Day 13 and 14

Today, Jaimes and I started out by coming in a little bit late to the kitchen because we had a senior seminar at 11:30. We came to the kitchen and decided for our last two days, we were going to make brownies to just hand out to people that we saw throughout the day. We started out by mixing our ingredients together to make a brownie batter. We then made a little bit of a mess trying to get the batter into the pans, but we did it. When the brownies were cooking, we had a snack and a drink. We then flipped them and took them out of the oven when they were fully ready. We then cut them and bagged them individually to hand out to people the next day.  Today, Jaimes and I handed out our brownies. We started by walking around and offering anyone we saw a brownie. We walked through the wise and got a lot of takers. Everyone was really happy to be offered a brownie in the middle of the day. We then went to our senior seminar at around 11 and handed more brownies out there. Everyone seemed...
