E-Week

My e-week class was amazingly awesome! I took world foods with Mr Johnson, who is a charachter in his self. A little overview is next. On wednesday we rode the short bus over to Fort Collins. There we shopped at Safeway, went on a tour of sprouts(an organic food store), visited a pumpkin patch, ate lunch at Rasta Pasta-that was pretty awesome. My friend and I, Alex Zenk, ate the hottest dish on the menu. It was nearly unbearable. We got our picture on the "Wall of Flame". You only got on the wall if you finished off the whole dish, it had an extreme amount of habeneros on it ontop of all the kick it already had. On Thursday we cooked all sorts of yummy dishes. On Monday we did more cooking and had an awesome day cooking at Ellie Sicks house, aka the principals house. On Tuesday we made two dishes then we split into 4 groups and had an intense cook off. My team of freshman Isaac Reinert and Drew Coggswell, along with fellow sophmore Brandon Thaxton thought we were gonna get dead last but ended up getting 2nd. Our dish was Shrimp, oinon, red bell peppers, and pineapple. We also made a smoothie. We were planning to put chorizo on the kabobs but Mr Zenk cranked up the grill and it got torched=(. It was one of the most amazing weeks of high school so far. In the photo on the right we are grilling our kabobs on the grill; at the bottom of the picture you can view the grilled chorizo laying on the grate. I like the picture because you can see the flames and smoke coming off the grill. It isnt that clear but I like the overall setting of it. In the photo on the left Alex Zenk and Jared Breay are preparing their triangular burgers for the grill. Thier group took everyone by surprise and took first place. This photo is pretty much an action shot of all the chaos of the cook off.
