Ouch! That's Hot

Today Frank and I made mince gravy with potato salad.

Method:
Step 1 - Boil 2 cups of water.
- Peel and chop 6 potatoes then add to the boiling water.
Step 2 - Fry mince and onion until brown. Take off the heat.
Step 3 - Boil another pot of water. Once boiling, add half a cup of mixed veggies. Take off after 5 minutes.
Step 4 - Get one cup of water, add one tbsp of Bisto and flour. Mix till smooth.
Step 5 - Re-heat the mince, add the Bisto mixture and continue stirring. Add little bits of water to smooth out.
Step 6 - Drain the potatoes and mix with 2 tbsps of mayo.
Step 7 - Serve on a plate.

Oh No! Ahhh!

Today my class had the opportunity to return to the Vector Wero Whitewater Park. This time instead of rafting and learning about water safety, we did kayaking.

Like before, we had to gear up. Wet suits and boots were supplied and ready for us. Before we placed ourselves in our individual kayaks, one of the mentors demonstrated how to get in the kayak and how to use the paddles. Finally it was time to leave land... We each sat in our kayaks and once everyone was ready we all took off.





At first it was scary but after a few strokes I gained confidence. It was hilarious watching others tip! I tipped a few times myself but it was just as funny. My favourite part of kayaking was when we were all falling out.

Ground Beef!

Today I paired up with Kain for Tech. Together we made mini mince pies.

Method: 
Step 1 - Pre-heat your oven to 200°c.
Step 2 - Fry one proportion of mince.
- Dice half an onion and add that to the pan.
Step 3 - Once both ingredients are golden brown, add in 2 TBSP of flour and 1/2 cup of hot water. Stir for 5 minutes or until bubbling. Remove from heat.
Step 4 - Evenly slice two sheets of puff pastry into 4.
- Place 4 pieces of the pastry onto a lined tray.
- Evenly distribute the mince mixture onto the 4 pieces.
- Add cheese to each pile.
Step 5 - Using the remaining pastry, gently cover the mince and cheese.
- Use a fork to seal the edges.
Step 6 - Put the tray into the oven, keep on eye on it.
Step 7 - Remove from the oven once golden brown.

You can wait till cool or eat it hot.
