This week we will be exploring the magical world of grains!
What kind of grains grow in SK? What is a grain? Why is it important? What can you make out of em?

We will do a bit of research, and then make some fettuccine Alfredo.

BAKING AND MORE BAKING!
This week we are going to focus on the science of baking - look at what makes a cake rise, what makes the stuff stick together and how we can combine ingredients to get the best mix.

We will be making some Chocolate Brownies and some Company Muffins.

I'm looking forward to a really great semester.

Thanksgiving is on the horizon and that will be the mindset for this week.

What are you thankful for? What are your blessings? How do you show gratitude to those in your life? How can you do a better job of showing gratitude?

Another lovely week - the weather has been fantastic!

This will be a busy week for all of us.

Thursday Sept 29 and Friday Sept 30 I will be away at a conference. Ms. Haberstock will be in as a guest teacher; please treat her with consideration and respect.

I have begun marking and handing back assignmnets. Book work is a portion of your mark, if you haven't handed assignements in I recommend you do so (a grade based solely on lab work will be 40% or less). Please check Maplewood regarding missing/late assignments and make arrangments with me.

We are getting into the swing of things!

I have to remind you that getting organized is important to getting our products complete on time and with success. Following directions, measuring carefully are critical!

Clean up needs to be improved across all groups. There are circumstances where I will agree to wash dishes, however these are extreme circumstances. Sinks, stovetops and floors are your responsibility for full marks.

Kitchen Safety posters must be handed in this week for full marks.

Our first full week of school and I am still working to get the kinks out!
Hopefully you all have enjoyed our first cooking experiences and we will work toward making it as comfortable as possible.

Have a great week!

Wow, I am so pleased to become part of the SHHS family! I am looking forward to getting to know each of you, SHHS and Yorkton.
