November Review

Well mates November has come and gone. Just like the previous months’ time keeps on flying by within a blink of an eye. Just in case you forgot what happened in November here is a brief summary. The month kicked off with the Presidential Election Day, which was an intense campaign event. Fox 11 news came to Moraine Park to do a live segment in the culinary arts department about Thanksgiving tips and ideas. There were several meetings for student senate including the District Student Government meeting, regarding future plans and events for school. Another fun event was my first Turkey Trot 5 mile run on Turkey Day. Of course Black Friday shopping, but instead I took a small trip to Milwaukee to hang out with my friends. Last but not least all the fun events Student Life put together such as casino day and bingo day which included awesome prizes for people to win. I had a great time in November, but I must keep pushing through as the end of the semester is near. Now let the December fun begins! Cheers, Lee IV

Good o Thursday

Today became another long day especially since I was looking forward for the weekend; the day seemed to go by slowly. In my vegetable and potatoes class we made chicken with rice and snow peas, baked apples, and fried vegetables from carrots to tomatoes. These meals turned out pretty good, but I really prefer to cook with meats although vegetables complement each meals. In my salad class we made German potato salad, an Asian salad, and deviled eggs. All of these dishes are perfect for any occasions, and of course even better when you make it from scratch. These recipes can easily be done within 30 minutes, if you need any tips let me know and I will help you through.

Later in the night I got ready for my scholarship dinner held at Moraine Park Technical College in Fond du Lac. The Moraine Park Foundation dinner was dedicated to the students who applied and won scholarships awards ranging from various donors. The scholarship I won was the MPTC Foundation Donor award. This was the first time in awhile where I attended an event that I didn’t have to help or serve for, I actually had the opportunity to relax and enjoy the evening. The night kicked off with all the scholarships recipients meeting in different rooms to meet their donors and meet other students who attend MPTC. This Foundation dinner was really good; so many great options were offered. We all had a good time talking to each other, meeting new people, and best of all eating. This scholarship is offered to everyone. You can click here http://www.morainepark.edu/financial-aid/scholarships/ , to find out more information about the Foundation Scholarships. Well that’s all for now, but on my next blog I will be writing about my Turkey Break! Check you later!
