Cooking 2.6

Hello again everyone! This week I decided to take my cooking project to the sweeter side😋... I baked a cake! I know my original set plan was to learn how to cook meals/dinners for a college dorm environment, but I definitely will be bringing my sweet tooth to college. This gave me a perfect opportunity to make a tasty treat with the help from the famous Skyler David. Growing up I always loved baking cookies, cakes, and brownies with my grandma, so this brought all the memories back! 
The recipe we used was called a chocolate bubble cake. Sounds as good as it tasted! I definitely would say making the frosting was the hardest part. We struggled to get the frosting to the perfect consistency. But after some trial and error, we finally got the frosting to where it needed to be. We used four different colors of food dye to add color and make the cake look more appealing! 
I’m happy with how this week of my genius hour went. I feel like each week I have improved with certain techniques and methods when it comes to preparing meals. Next week I hope to make a dorm friendly meal!

Drum roll please....🥳

    Wow, Maddie! This is awesome! Are you still going along with your action plan, or have you drifted quite a bit? College friendly meals will be a great idea to work on! Good luck!

    I will have to take note of these recipes, especially for the dorms! Is there an item that you’d like to make, but too nervous to try? Keep up the creativity and good work!

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...
