Home Economics ~ Learning From Home Acitvity

 Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post. For today's blog post I will be sharing with you something I made for dinner about 2 days ago. The dish was called Chermoula Chicken Tacos this was one of the hello fresh meals that I made. 

The Ingredients used were :

Red Onion, Garlic, Green beans, Carrot, Lettuce, Chicken breast, Chermoula Spice blend, Greek-style yoghurt, Dill and Parsley mayonnaise, Tortillas, and parsley.

The equipment used was:

Large frying pan, cutting boards, 3 bowls, and a knife. 

The finished product tasted really good and the different textures in the taco made the experience even better from the crunchy green beans to the soft tortillas. In the process of making this meal, all the different smells made me very hungry. 

Unfortunately, I was unable to take photos but here is what the finished product roughly looked like.

Home Economics

 Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post. For today's blog post I will be explaining what we did in our practical lesson for Home Economics. So at the moment, we are learning about Nutrients and what they do for our body. For our lesson on Thursday, we made a chicken stir fry, we were put into groups of either 3 or 4 and as our teacher, Miss Hindson went through the instructions we were to complete what was said. 

 Here is the recipe...

Chicken Stir Fry

Ingredients:

1 Chicken Breast

1 Carrot - julienne strip

1 Onion - diced

3-4 pieces of Broccoli - small florets

1 Zucchini - sliced

Other Vegetables - capsicum, mushrooms, peas, corn, celery, chilli etc 

2T Sesame oil

1 pkt 2 min Noodles

Method:

1. Cut chicken into strips

2. Place chicken in a glass bowl with sesame oil. Mix together

3. Prepare vegetables 

4. Sauté chicken and onions together. Sauté means to cook quickly to brown. 

5. Add broccoli and carrots and stir fry (cook) for five minutes.

6. Add the remaining vegetables and cook for a further 5 min

7. Bring a pot of water to the boil

8. Add the broken noodles into the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes

9. Drain noodles in a colander and add to the vegetable and chicken mixture. Mix together lightly 

10.  Serve 

The food that we made smelt really good as we were making it, and when we put the chicken into the pan the sesame oil that was with the chicken was very overpowering and same with the soy sauce when that was added. The end product tasted amazing the sweet chilli added a much-needed spice. The texture of the food was alright but as a group learned if you cook the noodles for too long they will become slimy. In the end, the food looked presentable.

The nutrients used in this recipe were fibre, carbohydrates, protein, fats, and vitamins.

Overall I believe that my group worked really well together and we were done with what we needed to do before the next instructions were given.

Here is a photo of all the ingredients cut up...

100 Word Challenge

 Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post. Today I will be writing a story only using 100 words and a prompt that was given by Miss Birtch we had two options for the prompt.

This was the prompt given...

Everything was gone my family, friends, and now I might be...

I opened my eyes only to see a white room I heard the scurrying of feet, the crying of families. I couldn't believe I was still here and I didn't want to be, everything I had done had gone to waste, I was exhausted and it meant nothing, and worst of all I was the only one left, and I was stuck, no moves left to use. I was once again alone and there was no one to blame but myself......
