Orientation

 “Hey, leave her alone!” It was just the first day of school and people were already taunting me. I bowed down to Tyrone and left to go back to the direction I was heading to before. Tyron was the class clown. He would always be the loudest in the class and was such a flirt with the girls. For some odd reason, everytime the jocks would tease me, Tyron was always there to defend me. The leader of the jocks was… Alejandro. He was the most popularist boy in school and everyone loved him. He gets praised for basically everything he does, including bullying me. Alejandro and I are neighbours. Outside of school, he is the nicest boy ever but at school, he would be all tough and acted like a pest to me. I knew he felt bad for me, but his way of keeping his high status was bullying me, so he never stopped. As I made my way to class, I could hear the cheerleaders chuckle at me. “Where’d you get your outfit from?, Goodwill?” said Madison while all the other students started laughing. I used to be friends with Madison. Me, Madison and Brittany (The cheerleaders captain) were the iconic trio. We would always be together and no one or nothing could ever break us up. But ever since we started high school, we got interested in different things and now they treat me horrible. Tyron, Alejandro, Madison, Brittany and I have known each other since middle school, but we never knew our lives would change after this one sudden day...

Panikeke Mafolafola

Last week we made Panikeke Mafolafola (Samoan Pancakes). I was apart of a group with Josephine, Tracey, Sar Yar Chan & Paris and we made Panikeke Mafolafola for room 11, 12 & 13. We all had turns working on different steps and made quite a lot of Panikeke Mafolafolas. My team used a lot of teamwork and gave all our effort to the making of the dish. Firstly, we added all the dry ingredients into the bowl and beat them all up. Then we made a well out of the dry additives and started gradually pouring water into the hole. We mixed the batter firmly and made sure it was liquid enough. Half way through our mixing, we added an egg and stirred everything together. A couple minutes later, the batters were as liquidy as water, so we started pouring little portions of them onto the heated pan covered with oil. Tracey, Sar Yar Chan & Paris fryed the batters while Josephine & I added all the side dishes onto the cooked Panikeke Mafolafola. Soon after, we finally finished all of our Panikeke Mafolafolas and tasted them... it was amazing! 

Connections Task

Task: What is a typical dinner meal you have at home? Create a doc and write down the recipe for how it’s made. Include images.

Dinner Meals I Have - 

1. Burmese Biryani
2. Khaosay Thote
3. Burmese Chicken Curry
4. Laphet
5. Samosa

How to make Burmese Chicken Curry: 

1. Firstly, cook the brown rice in unsalted water 
2. Dice the onions and mince the garlic and ginger. Set aside.
3.  Cut chicken into 1 inch (2.5 cm) bite-size pieces. Set aside. 
4. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pot. Stir in the turmeric and cook for one minute. 5. Add the minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, cayenne, cumin, coriander seeds and garam masala. You can substitute ground coriander for the whole seed but the flavour is better with the whole coriander seed. Stir and saute the mixture for about 1 minute. 
5. Add chicken to the pot and stir to coat with the onions and spices. Add the cinnamon stick (snapped half), followed by the curry leaves (or bay leaf) and chicken broth. Cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 25 minutes. Stir occasionally. 
6. Stir in dried red lentils and coconut milk. Cover and simmer for an additional 30 minutes until lentils are dissolved and sauce is smooth. Stir occasionally. 
7. Stir in the fish sauce and salt. Serve over cooked brown rice and garnish with fresh cilantro (optional garnish).
