week 10: food blog 2

I decide to make three ingredient 10 minute peanut butter cookies.

i wanted to make these because i decided to find a recipe that is simple and easy to make for all levels of cooking and all ages. i chose my tools that i was going to use by the ingredients and how i expected the consistency to come out. i used a spatula, spoon and fork to make sure it would be quick and easy to prepare. The only substitution i made for the recipe was using less sugar because personally i don’t like a lot of sugar and peanut butter already has a lot of sugar. I learnt how to make cookies easily and adjust recipes without changing the entire recipe easily.

Week 7: food blog

The dish i chose to write about is a fiesta rice bowl, which is a healthy brown rice bowl with beans, corn, tomatoes, onion, spices and you can add whatever other veggies you want to it.

The story behind this dish is i was trying to get as close to a dish i had tried in a restaurant. it was a homemade family restaurant secret so i had been trying to look up different recipes and get as close as i could to the one i had tried prior. I had struggled to find the recipe but i finally found something close to it and ith a few adjustments it could be spot on the the original one that i had tried.

My family loved it and actually asked me to make it a couple times again with extra to have for dinner and lunch so that was good. And i found it turned out quite close to the original. i would add more foods to it to make it have more colojr and flavour. Also more seasonings such a chili seasoning and chipotle seasoning, i put in the  second time i made the dish, really added to the flavour and real fiesta feel of the dish. Another thing you could add is avocado which i think would been nice.

I learned how to cook using a pressure cooker because my mom had just bought one and i have been wanting to try a recipe in it for a while but i wanted to find a easy one that i had all the ingredients for. I learned new cooking skills with the settings of the way the cooker works.

Food photography

In these photos of the utensils i am trying to show what you would use for a simple recipe, also what i used for one of my first baking recipes as it is the most essential utensils to baking.

i put in some icing sugar for the texture and i have other up close photos of food but they wouldn’t post so i can send those to you if needed

 

Micro bit design part 2

The micro bit will have a code that will function with the red and black clip wires, which are also connected to LED strip lights or just simply different colour LED lights. These lights will go off once the sensor of movement is activated. My idea is to have the door handle connected, so when the handle turns/door is opened then the alarm will go off causing the lights to flash. the main achievement of this would to be used with a normal sound alarm so this is a extra security for the home if you do forget to set, or if the alarm malfunctions.

I am still working on the code in trail and error for example trying to make it a shaking type of sensor was harder because a door opening doesn’t shake and neither does the handle. while coding the lights to go at a certain time has been easier.

 

Microbit coding journey start

I have decided that my micro bit code will be about security alarms, because sometimes people leave their houses without remembering or simply not double checking to see if the alarm set properly. my idea was to have a sensor code on a micro bit that will act as an alarm with LED lights. I explored and decided that in order for this to work I would need a code that could constantly be active when leaving or that could simply be activated by the person leaving the house, building, condo, etc.

about me

Introduction:

Hi my name is Maia Broughton. I am 13 years old and I love to spend time with friends and family. I am British, Jamaican, and I have little parts of Cuban, Indian and lots more. I used to do ballet and piano but I focus now on soccer and Mixed Martial Arts because I love being active. I love traveling because I am lucky enough to go somewhere almost every year.

 

Quote:

Personally i love quotes that mean something about life.

so my favourite quote is ” I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou 1928-2014

I chose this quote because it just makes me remember that first impressions count and making sure others around you are okay and happy goes a long way. Also that when people are down making them feel better and trying your best to no matter what, will make them remember that you will be there for that and people cherish that forever. That is what I want to live like, just making people happy because it makes me happy.

 

video clip:

I couldn’t think of a video that really jumps out at me to put into this but I listen to music every single day so i thought this would fit me to put a music video.

I chose this song because it reminds me of my child hood and when I was younger I would walk around in my black leotard and dance to this video. so it reminds me of when I was younger.

This is a picture of a group of friends, which reminds me of some of my closest friends who I don’t know what i would do without. I was going to put a picture that I had of all of us but it didn’t work. To me, friends are like a second family, they come and go but the ones who truly love you stay through everything.

Favourite website:

My favourite website is neflix because it is a nice way to relax after a long day and just lay down and watch it. Also some of the shows can help get through things and entertain.
