WALT: Make a Chocolate Cake

Today for Technology we are going to be making a Chocolate Cake. Finally we are making something sweet, to be honest we both were craving something sweet since we would always make savory's for example, English Breakfast and Fettuccine with mince. The thing I liked today is probably the cake itself, it's really nice and yummy. 

Chocolate Cake

WALT: Make Mince Gravy with Rice

Today for technology we have been trying to make mince gravy with rice. One of the things i found difficult while making this was probably dicing the onions because it's actually pretty hard, anyways. This is how you make it.

Step 1- Dice onion and fry until soft 

Step 2- Add vegetable mix and cook until soft

Step 3- Add mince and fry until it is cooked

Step 4- Add Tomato soup and mix well Until combined

Step 5- Serve in white bowl

I Like frying the ingredients, mostly because it was the easiest job although I did most of the dicing frying was a shared job between me and Coralee. This is what it turned out to look like:

WALT: Make Pizza 

Today for Technology we are making Pizza! Making Pizza was pretty easy since all we had to do was slice and dice and the red pepper, tomatoes, red onion, ham and someone hand off! 

I found this very helpful since in the future, i won't have mum and dad to cook for me anymore so this will be helpful in the near future. The thing i liked about this was me and my partner working in the team to get the pizza done.

How to make the pizza 

Step 1 - Paste the top of the pizza bread with tomato sauce. 

Step 2 - Dice red pepper, tomato, red onion, ham and eg.

Step 3 - Spread all your vegetables ham, cheese, pineapple on the top. Put sauce on top and bake for 15 minutes.  

Step 4 - Now take it out of the oven and enjoy

Real or fake??

Today at cyber smarts we had to complete the last piece of work and do blog about it so here I am.
This is the image I have edited a the before and after are quite obvious which one I have edited, The slide on its own is a task we had to do last week, But I hadn't finished it so I had to do it today.

 The image is very basic and I never really intended for it to be "realistic" in any ways necessary, This image pure purpose is basically so I can say I did my work wich in my case I did. If you haven't guessed the image is the rainbow watermelon with a cat face. This has basically no effort put into it but overall I think it's ok for my first time using Pixlr editor. If you haven't guessed the story is fake.


Background Story: This is a special Watermelon found only in the east coast of Africa, It is made only once every thousand year, It is one of the best tasting fruit in the world.

WALT: Make Fettuccine

Today for technology we made Fettuccine. It was kinda hard to make since we didn't know how to cut the onions and grate the zucchini, but it was worth in the end. The thing we want to improve on is probably, being organised since we were everything and swapping jobs each 5 minutes.

Step1 - Boil Fettuccine with 2 cups of water until it is soft

Step 2 - Fry the mines with the onions until it is cooked

Step 3 - Scrape zucchini using the vegetable peeler.

Step 4 -  combines all ingredients 

Last step is that you have to serve it up on any plate or bowl and then enjoy your meal.
