GOOD MORNING! Welcome back to school! I need your help. If you could review the list in google classroom and reach out to any of the students on the list that you might know it would be appreciated. Please ask the student to join my google classroom, check my blog, and/or email me personally. Thank you so much!

🤗 Mrs. Anderson

Please remember you have an assignment due today.

I attached a picture of a torte I made for my family…I delivered it to their porches : )

Yesterday, I asked you to find a recipe you could write on, today you will find your assignment in google classroom that accompanies it.

As you know, we will be going on “Spring Break” next week. Teachers have been asked by administration (at yesterday’s virtual staff meeting) to refrain from work during this time.

So, if you are a student that needs help with something –please email me before Friday, April 3, 3:30 pm, so that I can advise you/help you with questions.

If you are joining our class in google classroom late for any reason (which you do not have to explain), you can still join and do all the work. I will give feedback after the break.

If you are a student that has been keeping up all along or have caught up with the work- you are all set until we return & thank you for sticking with it!

Please continue to stay home, stay safe (social distance & wash your hands frequently), and be part of the solution to save lives.

Thank you to all of our families doing their part by complying with the stay-at-home order and for encouraging your learners to work virtually from home. Additionally, I want to thank our families that act as first responders in: health care, law enforcement, food provision, energy, water/waste public works, defense, communication, community government and everyone in the Dearborn Public Schools learning community.

Stay safe, Mrs. Anderson

Did you answer the main parts to a recipe correctly? 

1.) Title 

2.) Ingredients

3.) Directions

4.) Yield

5.) Optional Nutritional Value

I had asked you to find a recipe that you could write on, did you find one? Please go to google classroom for your assignment!

Find a good Turducken Recipe. Ask the person who does the shopping to buy you a Turkey, Duck, and Chicken!

Easy day Today!

In your classwork section write down the 4 main parts of a recipe!

1.

2.

3.

4.

5. (optional)

***Also, start looking for a recipe you can draw on. It can be anything…maybe something we already did or something new.

…Did you know the above was an April Fools Joke??????????????

A Turducken is actually rather had to make. I have eaten one but not made one Yet!

As we focus on reading a recipe, I would like you to read this article from, Taste of Home, How to Read a Recipe. I found one piece of information that I would have included after reading the article:

1. The difference between spraying with cooking spray, oiling, like with cooking oil, and to grease a pan with shortening (Crisco). The results are very different such as when people oiled the pan for cinnamon rolls, some of the rolls didn’t come out of the pan very easily. Whereas, those who greased the pan had their cinnamon rolls pop right out.

I ask that you read the short article. Then, in your classwork section of your binder, write down 2 ideas that were helpful or something new you may have learned about the process.

Funny, while reflecting on your career exploration I noticed a lot of you picked baker…was that the first choice?

Perhaps, it’s time you revisited your yeast bread recipes lol. BTW did you notice that baking bread is all the rage right now on social media?

During the coming week we will focus on Reading a Recipe in several ways. Check out how Alton Brown demonstrates the key ideas/terms & equipment in a recipe: https://altonbrown.com/how-to-read-a-recipe/

Monday’s assignment is in google classroom so check it out!

Do me a favor, if you created a group text for your cooking groups could you reach out to those people and ask them to join my google classroom? Thanks! Have great week!

Also, don’t forget it’s spirit week! Here are my babies Belle & Darby.

This is something fun to do next week. I’ll join in, I hope you will!

Classwork Assignment: Over the weekend help your meal provider by using at least 5 of the identified pieces of kitchen equipment in your kitchen. Keep a log of what it was and what you did in the Classwork section of your binder. Maybe, take a picture and share it. I will put this in the google classroom so you can share if you want.

This is a ‘picture’ article from Better Homes and Garden (click on link) about what to keep and what to toss in your kitchen. In my experience it’s true. At first I did not agree with the garlic press but, I thought about it and I do kind of hate cleaning it and I can mince garlic and turn garlic into paste with no problem

This memory match game is fun way to burn a few minutes!

In Google classroom you will find your next assignment.

Guess what it’s about?

At the end of my blog yesterday I wrote, I was going to go eat some strawberries…I asked how did they get in my refrigerator? 

I challenged you to trace the path of how many jobs it took to get there? Well here is a partial list of what my husband and I came up with:  farmer, farm hand, truck driver, sorter, packer, truck driver, store purchaser, truck driver, stock boy, store cashier, consumer (us)

This is also called “farm to table”

How did we do? I think it is partial. What did we forget?

Today’s assignment is kitchen equipment. Specifically the small tools, utensils, that are used in your kitchen. So look in the “second drawer”, kidding, wherever the kitchen tools, utensil, are kept in your kitchen. In your Classwork Section, Write down 20 pieces of equipment that you found. If you find something and don’t know the name of it, send me a picture via email. I will figure it out.

Do Not take a picture of your whole drawer! Do Not take inventory of my drawer do your own!

Take a look at mine and this is after we remodeled and purged!

Do you have a Job? Will it lead to your career? Or is your path completely different?

(In your classwork section of your binder please answer those 3 questions.)

In Google Classroom you will find an assignment that is related to careers in the food industry or contributes to how food makes it to your table. Take a peek! Answer the questions on the researchers document and submit it by Thursday.

Have a great day! Eat healthy! Stay Healthy! I am going to go eat some strawberries…Think about how many jobs it took for those strawberries to make it to my refrigerator. What jobs do you think?
