Happy Final Week!  For this assignment, you will need to search Canada's Food Guide or the Food Guide from your country.  My suggestion is that you do Part B first - simply a little chart of what  and how you typically eat during a three-day period.  Remember to be specific about amounts (Is breakfast one slice of toast or four?)  Part A is to plan a 3-day menu based on the Food Guide that you could and would eat.  Have fun!

Good Morning, Bakers.  I haven't sent a recipe challenge for a while.  I am attaching a chocolate cake recipe that is very much like the one we would have made in class.  It's really easy, can be made in one bowl.  It looks very strange when you pour it in the pans because it is a very thin batter, but it bakes moist and delicious.  NOTE:  My recipe does not include espresso powder.  It's a flavor-enhancer so don't run out and buy it.  The cake and icing will be just fine without it.

I'm including the frosting recipe, as well.  Again, you don't need the espresso powder.

If you get to try it, send me some pics.

I found an interesting poster on an office wall, and "tweaked" it slightly.  Thought it was appropriate for us since our theme has been 'Success' this semester, and since I also teach Cul Tech.  Because we didn't get to finish our Encyclopedia of Success, I thought it woild be a great idea to write our own Recipe for Success, or Twelve Steps to Success.  Read the attached doc, maybe do a little on-line idea-search and come up with your own.  Love to have you email it to me before the end of the school year.

Here, as promised, is my 2020 version of the "Where I'm From" poem.  It might help you find some ideas for your memory-writing.  Much of it has been inspired by sorting through my mother's memories and belongings since her death iat the end of April this year.

I like to start tying up the year with a bit of reflective and lyric writing.  This assignment lets you focus on memories and the things that have shaped you.  The first thing to do is to open the tw attachments and read the sample "poems" - all written in the same style.  The writers are looking back at their memories of growing up - special items and places and other things that have been important to them.  I've included two templates - they are almost identical - so that you can chhose one and begin filling it in to create the "skeleton" of your lyric writing.  After you have your skeleton, you'll need to add some descriptive words to help the reader (me) really "see" what you are seeing.  I'll upload my skeleton  and my finished lyric in the next few days.  Have fun!!
