HEC | Baking at Home Task | Week 2/3!

For week 2/3 in HEC (Home Economics), we will be doing a baking task at home. I decided to make a Filipino bread called "Pianono", also known as swiss rolls. I asked my mother to help me make it since she has made one before. This are the ingredients and methods we used to make this bread.

Ingredients:

• 6 Eggs - white and yolk
• 6 tbs of flour
• 1/4 cream of tartar
• 6 tbs of white sugar
• Margarine 
• Powdered sugar (optional)

Method:

1. Pre-heat oven to 365 degrees, on bake. 
2. Separate the egg white and yolk.
3. In a mixing bowl put the egg white and the cream of tartar, and beat using a hand mixer in a slow-motion until it forms a soft, fluffy, and light mixture
4. Gradually add sugar to the meringue.
5. Beat the egg yolks, and gradually add it into the meringue.
6. Repeat step number 3 but adding flour.
7. Get a tray and place baking paper into it. 
8. Pour the mixture into the tray evenly, and gently tap and shake it into a hard surface so that the bubbles will pop. 
9. Place it in the oven for about 15 minutes. 
10. Check the bread to see if it is cooked by using a skewer or a toothpick and poking in the middle. 
11. Take the tray out and spread margarine on top of the bread, and sprinkle sugar on top of it. 
12. Place another baking paper on top of the bread, then put another tray on top of it and carefully flip it.
13. Spear the margarine and sprinkle sugar on top of it. 
14. Gently roll the bread until it becomes a roll.
15. Sprinkle some powdered sugar on it. (Optional)

ESOL | Learning Activities | Week One!

For my ESOL work, for working at home. I have a week one task that I haven't finished yet, the task is to write a description of my favourite animal, singer or actor. I chose to write about what my favourite animal is, I chose this topic because I believe that I have never said what my favourite animal is. It is also because I found this topic interesting to make a blog post about. Anyways, I found it extremely hard to choose my favourite animal because I like a lot of animals. But I have come to a conclusion to choose dogs as my favourite animal, I chose this animal because I find them the most helpful animal for people with disabilities. You might have also heard the common phrase "Man's best friend" this phrase refers to their long history of relations, loyalty, and companionship with humans.

There are multiple types of dogs, with different lifestyle and personalities. Some breeds can be hyper, calm, playful, and some are aggressive. Although my favourite type of is a Pomeranian, this is my favourite breed of dog because they are; intelligent, sociable, extroverted, friendly, playful, and active. They are also extremely cute and small, I have told my parents that if we ever buy a new house for ourselves that we also buy a Pomeranian. Anyways this is my favourite animal and I also want to know what your favourite is?
