REFLECTION DIEZ

This week I did not get to learn any new meals because my mother who acts as my mentor was out of the country. She returned on Sunday morning however I insisted that she rest and overcome her jet lag before we continue our lessons. Therefore, all I got to do this week was practice cooking what I already know. Regardless I felt as though I was still able to grow as a cook through practicing cooking rice, turkey, egg, and cheeseburgers. I attempted to add variation to the turkey by adding new spices and now there is a good idea in my head which spices works well with turkey and which don't. Although no new dishes was learned the experience I gained this week was incredibly valuable to me.  Next week I plan to learn one of my favorite dishes and a very, very popular dish in Western Africa, Jollof Rice.
