Cooking Tips

  1. Simple conversions for metric to standard can be done online.  
  2. The Internet is a great resource for recipes and tips.
  3. Buy a good cookbook that has all the basics, like Betty Crocker, Better Homes and Garden or any basics book.
  4. Watch cooking shows to learn tips.  Watch people cook.
  5. Wash your hands with hot water and soap after dealing with meat.  Clean anything that raw chicken or poultry has touched especially well to avoid salmonella.
  6. Make sure your chicken or poultry is white all the way through.  If it is pink, it is not done.
  7. If meat smells bad, it's bad.  Do not eat it!  Throw it away. 
  8. If you are not going to use meat that day or the next, freeze it.  Put it in a good sealed bag to avoid freezer burner.  Meat will last months in your freezer, versus a few days in your fridge.  
  9. Once you defrost meat you have to cook it; meat goes bad when it is defrosted and refroze raw. 
  10. Be adventurous, you don't have to stick to the recipe exactly.  Experiment, that's how you learn and find what you like and don't like. 
Here are some links for easy recipes:
http://www.seventeen.com/college/freshman/recipes-for-college-students - has 20 good recipes
health.iupui.edu/docs/SALC%20Cookbook.pdf - Found this great cookbook you can download, made for College Students
http://www.studentcook.co.uk/CookingBasicsCategory.html - I liked this site a lot, has a great overall list of basic tips of cooking.

My favorite cooking websites:
http://allrecipes.com/ - I especially love the comment section where people say what works and doesn't, how they've changed the recipe, etc.

Senior Trip - Canary Islands are a Go!

Hi Seniors.  I got some good news today.  The new airline that flies to the Canary Islands has a little cheaper price and it flies direct from Casablanca.  The trip to the Canary Islands can still happen!  The total for the trip will be 6000 dhs (4000 you have already paid, so just an additional 2000 dhs, remember we can do some scholarship). 

Several people have backed out of the trip, please confirm with me if you are not going.  I only have listed below people who ARE going.  If your name is on the list and you do not plan to go, you must tell me immediately.  Please look over the attached letter with your parents for detailed information.

There have been a few changes.  One is the dates of the trip.  Due to the fact that the new airline only flies on certain days, we had to alter the trip.  We will leave on Wednesday, May 30th and return Sunday, June 3rd.  Pending approval, you will still have Monday off.

I really need to send an email to confirm flights tomorrow (Tuesday), so please let me know so we can get this plane tickets, the plane tickets are only 3330 dhs.
