Independent Component 2

These are some of the things I made for my Independent Component 2, including making the food for school events such as Scare Fair and I-fest.

Scare Fair I was making tacos. There were many challenges I faced while doing this. One of them was the pressure I had to cook good food in front of the whole school and I had to make sure everyone liked it, including both teachers and students alike. I knew that this was my opportunity to shine and show everyone what I was made of. Students and teachers would give me compliments after eating my food, so that made me feel great about my abilities.

These are called Albondigas. It is a soup that has hand-made meatballs along with some corn, carrots and some other vegetables. The challenge in this meal is that its a soup. Soups aren't my favorite thing to make because it is always harder to know when the meals are complete. In this dish, you have to make the little meatballs by hand so if they end up wrong it is also your fault because the meal didnt come out right. ( 4 1/2 hrs)

This is a turkey I made. The reason it looks eaten is because my little brothers are vultures, but it was fun to make. It is very time consuming so so it should only be made if you know that you do have the time sto spare and are in no rush to leave early. What makes this especially difficult is that you have to make sure all parts of the turkey are evenly cooked and prepared. There are times where you are able to leave because it is in the oven cooking but you must always be aware of time. (7 hrs)

This is a chicken breast. It looks so lonely because the rest of the chicken was already eaten. This is one of the simpler things i've cooked because it isn't as complicated as the others and it doesnt require so many steps either. This is one of the more enjoyable to eat though just because you can do so many things with it, like you can cut it up into little pieces or you can even mix it with other foods. (4 1/2 hrs)

This is spaghetti, but it looks different because instead of meatballs I use ground beef for the meat, and the pasta is different than usual. Spaghetti is one of the more general meals, but there are different ways everyone can make it. We can use different meats, or different pastas and it changes the flavor completely. (5 hrs)
