20% project week 3- Joseph Zayas

          This week, I taught my little sister how to make peanut butter cookies from scratch. First, we had to make sure we had all the ingredients. We were missing a couple of the essential ingredients, so we decided to ride over to Stater Bros. and get what we were missing. We bought flour, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and peanut butter. Then, when we got home, I made dinner. After, I started to teach my sister how to make the cookies. I had her measure everything out herself, because she wanted to show me she knew how to measure. Then, I told her how she was supposed to mix it, and she did. Then, I helped her roll them into balls to be pushed. Finally, she put them in the oven to cook. The first try came out a little hard, not burnt. The next day, she made them again to show me she actually did learn and she made them perfect.


         I got the recipe from: http://americanfood.about.com/od/desserts/r/Peanut_Butter_Cookie.htm

20% project week 2-Josph Zayas-period 3

       This week, for my twenty percent project, my little brother, my little sister and I all came up with a couple of ideas of what I will be teaching them to make. For one, my little sister already knows how to make a cake, but my little brother does not, so I will be teaching him to make that after I teach them the basics. Also, my little sister knows how to make cookies really good, but my brothers almost alwayd come out overcooked, and once they were undercooked. For the cookies, i will have my sister help me teach my brother with me.

       Sometimes, I probably will use my little sister, as she gets better, I will probably use her as my assistant to help my little brrother, as my sister already knows how to cook a little bit. My brother, on the other hand, does not really know how to cook anything at all, except the basics.

20% project week 1-Joseph Zayas-Period 3

     This week, my sister, brother and I went to Walmart to buy new cooking supplies. My older brothers girlfriend took us to go to Walmart, because none of us new how to drive, and we did not want to walk over there. We went and bough two new different knives, a new can opener, and a couple of new sponges to wash the dishes. 

      I also started to think of what I am thinking of all the different kinds of food I am able to teach them how to cook. First, I am thinking of teaching them to cook something simple, like grilled cheese. Then i was thinking of teaching them to make spagetti or tacos. Later, I will teavh them to make something more complicated, like meatloaf or salsbury steak.

       I also have been asking my little brother and sister what they already know how to cook. I am using that to base what i am going to be teaching them to cook. On certain dishes, i will only be teaching one of them if the other one already knows how to make it.
