Chocolate hedgehogs

Today at tech we made chocolate hedgehogs. We used a packet of plain biscuits, peanuts, melted chocolate, and 100g of butter. Although it looked very different to what we usually make, it was delicious. In the end, we put our melted chocolate on top of our chocolate hedgehog and refrigerated it for 5-10 minutes. 

Mince and cheese filling

Today for tech we made mince and cheese filling for our pie. In order to make our filling we need these ingredients mince, soya sauce, water, corn flower, beef stock, onion, and oil. First you need to dice up you onion. Next you need to get 200ml of hot water and tip it into our half a cup of corn flour and mix it together. After that get another 200ml of hot water and get beef stock and mix it together in that you should add soya sauce. When you have mixed everything together get your pan and measure 1 tablespoon of oil into your pan. Place your diced up onions into your pan and fry them for a couple of seconds then add your mince into the pan. Now mix them all together now add little by little of your beef stock. Now there is only little bit of beef stock then you tip it all into the pan and carry on mixing it together. With you corn flour water add tiny spoons into your pan to make it more thicker. Now were done using the beef stock and the corn flour water. Turn the oven off and tip the filling into a container until you make your pastry for the pie. I can´t wait till next week.

Tech

Today we had our second session with Ms Heka doing food tech. Today we mad chicken kebabs and  potatoe salad. Mishaan and I worked together to make our chicken kebabs and potatoe salad. First we had to grab out equipment. Mishaan and I shared our jobs. Mishaan had to go and get the bowl of potatoes and spring onion and one egg. After Mishaan went to get the bowl I went to grab the bowl of chicken. Then we went to get everything else. Now Mishaan was up to frying the bacon and I was up to cutting up the chicken into little squares. Mishaan and I now mixed the chicken and the sauce together. Now we were up to the part when you put the chicken through the skewers.  In the oven it goes. Its back out. I really enjoyed having tech. 

Tech

Today we went to Tamaki college for our first day at tech. We have our sessions at food tech with Ms Heka. At tech we made spaghetti, bacon, cheese, and pineapple in bread which looked like cupcakes. Before we even started to do anything first we had to get our trolley that had our medium bowl, wooden spoon, 2 measuring cups, 2 choping boards, and a pink and green knife. We needed these tools because the medium bowl was used to mix all our ingredients in, spoon to mix our ingredients, 1 measuring cup is for the cheese and the other measuring cup was for the pineapple. Javeylor and I helped each other dice up the bacon, we also helped each other dice up our pineapples. When it was time to place our bread in our muffin trays it was a little bit hard because it kept on breaking so then Ms Heka told us to push the middle of the bread. Now everything goes into the bread and now it is in the oven. We take it out with oven gloves to be safe. Yuum they are delicious. Thanks to Ms Heka for preparing this for the year 8's.
