Technology...

So Monday our midterm "exam" was due, we had to create a movie trailer about our wise project that would get others interested in what we are doing. I made my ahead of time and when I had to put it on a usb to save it, unfortunately it did not. Monday when I showed up to class I had to explain to coach Love my story on how I accidentally erased imovie from my older sister's mac...I had to re-do the whole project from scratch. I think it came out better than how it did the first time, the funny thing is that my best friend and I had the same problem so at least we were both going through the same thing. We were so happy when we took it to coach Love once it was all ready. So I now know that for whatever problem I ever have with a mac computer I can count on my older sister to help me out (she got imovie back in the computer).

video

So yesterday, I finished my video, I found a song and I think it fits well. It's called good life by one republic, I was watching a live video online and the leader said the reason I want to perform this song is because we live everyday but it's our view and we make our day. It can be a good day or a bad day it depends on the attitude you have, I want to live everyday with something to look forward to the next, after all today's outcome its tomorrow's yesterday, how do you want to remember it?
I was very happy with my video I wonder if I can post it online?...I'll have to see if I can. 

Florida Finally

So two days ago I got back to Florida, I was so happy I missed sleeping on my bed with my own space! For spring break my family and I took a road trip to visit my family in Washington D.C. We went to Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Washington D.C and Maryland. We stayed in Virginia in this place called Shenandoha it was up in the mountains, and we slept in these things that looked like tree houses. After staying there for a couple of days we went to Washington to visit my grandma, uncle and cousins, it was a nice family reunion. We left on saturday and arrived here in Florida sunday night...an 18-19 hour drive!! Yesterday in my speech class I got the opportunity to share with my class my passion for cooking. I talked about these brownies I made, they are called brownies with chocolate filling, everyone seemed really interested and excited about the brownies, so I offered to make some for our next class. I hope they come out delicious!

Pita pizzas!

I made this ones on Monday, I got some pitas tomato organic sauce, Parmesan cheese (there was no other cheese..so this was the best I have), chopped onions, pieces of Italian sausages and some oregano. I got the pitas spread the sauce added all the ingredients and place them in the oven or about 10 minutes. I made three one for my mom, one for my dad, and one for myself, we all loved them:) I also can't wait for this week which is spring break! Tomorrow I am going to be in a car for about 16 hours.....yeah. For that I can wait! Anyway I am really excited because we are going to Virginia to camp in tree houses! I also get to see some of my relatives, I missed them so I'm really happy that I will get this opportunity to see them.

An omelet...Or not?

I made an omelet once for my sister when she was ill, she asked me to cook her something yummy for breakfast. I wanted to try out my skills, so I decided to make an omelet. I scrambled the eggs, cut some ham, shredded some cheese, tomato's, onions and a little bit of cilantro. I made it and it came out so good, I have kept wanting to make it. So on Thursday I took out the ingredients an began cooking. the only difference this time was that I may have used a different pan, and that screwed up everything...the omelet got glued ( not literary) but It was stuck so bad I had to make scramble eggs instead. I really wanted an omelet, from this experience I learned to not use that pan to make omelet's instead I'll use a big one. I also got the opportunity to listen to more songs for my preview, still nothing... I hope I'll be able to find something soon!

For coach Love:)

Lemon Cheesecake Bars

Today I made a dessert from Nestle called Lemon Cheesecake Bars. It was very easy to make and it came out delicious! After having my mentor meeting I got the car went to the local grocery store and got my book out and went to get all the ingredients I needed. I told coach Love I would take him a piece tomorrow I hope he likes it. It seems to be a success here at home, I was very happy that it came out just like the picture:) I took a couple of pictures that way I can also use them for my movie clip my mom kept telling me to stop but of course she didn't know that I have to record just about everything. So I also had a piece of the dessert and I must say, DELICIOUS! I loved it so I hope that those who are lucky enough to try it, will love it too:)

Dessert for calculus nerds

Since my sister Camila is in calculus and so are some of our friends. There is always calculus homework to be done and they get together sometimes to do it together. They have asked me to make them something that they can eat while they study. So I am going to make a small dessert for them, I am going to make chocolate muffins with a twist I don't know what the twist is yet...which gives it a sense of mystery. I have also been thinking on how I want to make my movie commercial, I know I will use imovie since I think it's an amazing program. I have been recording myself while I cook/bake so this way I will have a lot of footage to work with. I'm pretty excited about it, tomorrow I want to start working on it that way if I have questions I can go this week and ask coach Love.

Breaksfast my favorite meal:)

What does a breakfast consist of in my house? Well we are Colombian, so my mom makes Arepas they are this delicious corn  dough it looks like sand but of course it tastes nothing like it. We have around 90 Arepas made to last for a long period of time. So I help my mom make breakfast, one of my favorite things to do is cook with her, she is amazing, I have learned so much from her and I hope to keep on learning. We take out the eggs, tomatoes, onions, salt, pepper, cheese, butter, milk, coffee, honey/sugar and fruit. This may seem like a lot but it really isn't, with the tomatoes, onions, salt and pepper we make the eggs, crack them open in a bowl whisk them add the chopped onions and tomatoes and place it on the pan. For the Arepas we put the to warm in the stove once they are ready we put the butter and cheese along with some salt, then we make the coffee and tea(for my dad) and we put everything on the table and sit together and eat.

Again..

So this week I cooked chicken again, I made it for lunch for both my sister and myself. Lunch was chicken with veggies, and rice that my dad made. We had lunch together, I have to help around the house since my mom is working so she tells me what to do and I do it. She leaves mostly everything ready, I take the chicken, spice it up and cook it. I also had my mentor meeting with profe, we talked about some goals for this week, I have actually been looking on how to make crepes, that's something I really want to do. I want to prepare more dishes that are healthy for me and others, I started this exercise with my older sister and she's getting me in shape, she has no pity on me! Which is good, she inspires me to exercise more. So if I am going to be exercising then I should be feeding my body the right foods that way it balances out.
