Busssssy

Wow, I have been so busy! This weekend I made six courses. I was whipped out on Sunday after all that cooking. I have also been working hard on iMovie. Tonight I have been working hard on my portfolio today! I hope I can get all done! I feel like I have been working on this forever and I wont ever get done! Im so excited for next Monday to be here!

Good News!

I now have one country 100% completely done. I just finished my American iMovie. That was the last thing that I needed to do. The iMovie is taking longer then I thought, mostly because I have tons of pictures that I have to go thought. I will be working hard all week to finish up!

Check List

Tonight I worked on my board for the expo and made a check list of everything that I needed to get done. WOW, it looks like I better get busy. There are tones of last minute details.

Time to Rap it Up

Meeting

I met with my mentor on Friday and we cooked three different dishes. We focused on the French meal and got a lot done. This is one of my final meals and I will soon be done with my project. We had a lot of fun on Friday. Now I need to get working on my video and my last little bits on my meals.

Its Been Awhile

Well it has been awhile since the last time I blogged. I haven't gotten much done on my project but I was working on my term paper. Now that that is all completed I am ready to finish my project. I have talked with my mentor and we are going to pick a day to do some French cooking. I am very excited. After that I need to work on my "how to" video for the expo.

On Christmas morning I had to be up and ready to go to make lutefisk. I had my grandpa and my great grandma teaching me all the tricks to cooking the lutefisk. I had to be very careful and not felt it boil once the fish was in the pot.
