Ninth Week At Pathways

October 16th, 2013 -
This week there was a new addition to our class, there is a new tier of students who have joined. Everything I have learned in Tier 1, they are now learning and also they have to take the Food Handler's test as well. The Tier 2 students are now able to teach Tier 1 students on how to do certain tasks and today I guided four students how to chiffonade Swish Chard correctly. On Tuesday, all of Fresh Starts students learned how to make pretzels from a professional baker and his name is Sam. He taught us how to roll out the pretzel dough and create the perfect pretzel. Everyone took a turn and I was 5th in line to go. I learned that if you let the dough sit out long enough, its called "resting" and it helps the dough stretch. Also, I learned that sodium hydroxide is used to make the pretzels become the color brown. After we made our pretzels, we got to eat them and they were delicious. I have eaten many pretzels and the best are the homemade pretzels. I feel confident enough to make pretzels once again on my own.
