Review: Today we made egg salad, which was no my favorite thing to make. We had a great day when it came to being on task and getting the work done that needed to be and not slacking off. It was a great all around group effort. What didn’t go well was that we made our egg salad not chunky enough and that hurt the appearance of the salad and made it less intriguing. I learned to day how to hard boil an egg and that will give me and option when it comes to having a healthy snack like having a hardboiled egg. The one thing I would change is to mash up the egg for a shorter period so that the egg is still got some chunk when it is mixed with the salad. All in all it was a very good day, although it was not my favourite I still really enjoyed making it.

Review: Today we made tex-mex fajitas and they tasted so amazing and were fun to make too. What didn’t go well for us is when we were cutting up the meat we thought we cut it up small enough so we put it in the marinade, but it turns out they were too big of strips so we had to pull all the meat out of the marinade and recut all of the strips of meat. Our ability to forget about our mistakes and quickly fix them and make up for what we have done is what really helped us out today. Today I learned how to make and marinade meat which I have never done before, this will allow me to prepare all kind of flavourful meat. The only thing I would change is to add less lime and lemon juice in the marinade as it made the meat a little bit bitter and unappetising. All in all it was a very successful day and the fajitas tasted amazing too.
