    It sounds like you’ve gotten a lot done during this genius hour! It’s great to hear that you plan to continue with your blanket project after this genius hour is over. Which item that you’ve made was your favorite?

    I honestly could not even imagine knitting so you are already put on a pedestal in my mind. I saw what you were doing the other day and it's crazy good, keep it going.

Genius Hour 1.5

This week I wanted to make fondue, which is typically a three course meal of melted cheese, broth, and melted chocolate. My family doesn't usually like the broth course, which you boil broth and let the meat cook in there. So instead of boiling chicken in broth, my family will pan fry or grill chicken. The first course, which is cheese, you can use many different recipes. The recipes usually contain some sort of cheese, alcohol, and garlic or something to give it more flavor. We decided to use, colby jack and pepper jack cheese, a dry white wine, and some cornstarch to make the cheese thicker when you melt it. To add some flavor, I added some garlic and lemon juice. We like to dip bread, tortilla chips, and green apples into our cheese. I used my cutting skills from one of the past weeks to cube the bread, and I also practiced grating with the cheese. With your final results, you want it to turn out stringy so you can dip it easiest. It took a second to get the cheese right, beca...

For my Genius Hour this semester, I decided that I would like to learn a little more about different cooking styles and techniques. I am going to try and make a different thing each week. First, I had to do research and figure out what I wanted to make and try for my Genius Hour, so that is what I did this first week. Here are some of the techniques I found when I did my research, poach, simmer, roasting, blanch, grill, braise, caramelize, saute, sear, and emulsify. In my next Genius Hour I plan on learning the different ways to cook eggs, such as poaching, boiling, and scrambling. Then, I am going to learn cutting techniques and make a roast. The other things that I will make and try are going to be, cooking potatoes, sauteing things, making fondue, cooking chicken, steak, and I might even try a couple of desserts. So when planning this out, I had to look up recipes and techniques. Next Genius Hour I will begin my cooking and learning. I am really lookin...

Genius Hour 2.1

I decided I wanted to learn how to knit for my second Genius Hour. When I started it was not as easy as I thought it was going to be. My knitting supplies had two pairs of knitting needles and came with a small book. I used the book to begin learning the basic steps and I struggled using the pictures in the book at first. It took me quite awhile, but once I figured it out it was super easy. I started by learning how to cast on a stitch, which is pretty simple. Casting on is making stitches onto one of your needles,so you have a row of stitches to start knitting with. These are how my two ways of casting on turned out. There are two different ways to knit, a knit stitch and a purl stitch, this is the other thing that I tried this week. I practiced knitting stitches, and then a practiced purling stitches. A purl stitch is basically a reversed knit stitch. In the picture on the left is my attempt on doing the knit stitch. The picture on my right was supposed to be two rows of knit s...
