Cooking 2.4

     Hey guys! Welcome back to my blog... this week did not go as planned:( I decide I was going to take a leap of faith and try to make homemade Mac & Cheese. I used a Martha Stewart recipe, hoping it would be as easy as she made it sound. Jokes on me though, because this macaroni was DISGUSTING. I even cooked enough for dinner with my family and they were not impressed. Now my dad is convinced I am going to starve in college, because I can't even make simple Mac & Cheese. But you know what? As genius hour continues, I am going to become a better cook and prove the man wrong (he can only barbecue, so we are equals right now). 

    Although the taste of the pasta did not turn out, I think it is deceiving and looks tasty.

    I’m doing cooking too! I have to say, this made me laugh lol. Do you have any idea where you went wrong with your recipe? Are you going to try to remake this later?

    Maddie I feel this! It can be so frustrating when a dish doesn't turn out after all the time spent on it. Do you think the recipe had anything to do with it turning out the way it did?

Blog 1.7

 Blog 1.7 Rubik's Cube      Welcome back to week seven of my blog! I love looking through everyone's blogs to see all the progress that has been made in our class! As I work on my project, I find myself gaining new knowledge and skills when solving the cube. I've never realized how difficult and complex this game is until I tried it out myself. It gets very frustrating at times when you do all these steps, and it doesn't come out right. I have had to learn to be patient with myself and realize that things take time.       This week I have continued to practice and relearn the algorithms. I strongly believe that each week I have made progress! As I have talked about in my past blogs, I'm not sure I will have the cube fully solved by the time our Ted Talks are given. My original goal was to have mastered the puzzle by this time, but I will have to rearrange my goal. I have been caught up in trying to familiarize myself with each step and the algorit...

 Blog 1.4 Rubik's Cube     Hey guys! This week I have spent a majority of my time trying to  critique the steps I have learned to solve the cube! As you know from my previous blogs, the first step in to create a daisy looking image on the upper face of the cube. Seems simple right? Actually, this step requires a lot of practice to properly form this figure. Along with all the practice I have done outside of class, I have learned how to preform the next step: fully solving the top, yellow face. This was very exciting for me, because the puzzle appears to be almost fully solved! Although I have completed this step, I will still need to practice resolving it throughout the week, because the algorithm is very long and complex.

Cooking 2.1

      Hi guys! I'm so happy if you are  reading this, because I actually made myself a meal that was edible!  Drum roll please... I made a grilled cheese sandwich served with homemade chex mix. I know you're thinking a grilled cheese is the most easy and simple meal. However, in my opinion, this is a big accomplishment for me. If you read my cooking 2.0 blog, you would know I don't make my own meals.     Making a grilled cheese sandwich was a good first step for me. This week I  didn't face any struggles and challenges, so it gave me confidence in my cooking abilities! One time my mom made me this same sandwich and she forgot to take the clear wrapping off of the cheese. So technically, I'm already better than her.       My plan for this genius hour is to start small and grow each week. I'm well aware that I might make some gross dishes here and there, but it will be  important to not compare my success to other people's c...
