Review: Today we made fried rice and it was very delicious and fun to make. What didn’t go well for us today is were unsure on how to cook the rice and it took us quit along time to figure out how to cook the rice. After a while we were able to figure how to cook the rice and check if it was done. Our ability to deal with conflict and work as a team and not fight was out greatest strength today and it allowed us make the rice in record time and get it done way before class was done. I learned today how to cook rice and that will help me in preparing multicourse meals and different entrees. The thing I would change is to cook the rice long so that I know it is for sure fully cooked as I thought our rice could have been cooked more so that is would be less crunchy. All in all today was a great success and I could have done it without my awesome group members!
