This week we had our second Iron chef competition. We started by harvesting our produce from the farm. Some groups decided to bring in extra ingredients from home or the store. We took all our ingredients to the teachers lounge to prepare our master dishes. All groups anticipated the moment when Mr. Stewart gave the go ahead to start cooking. Once he said go, the chefs got their knifes out and started chopping their freshly picked produce. It was a very intense atmosphere as all four groups were cooking up a storm on the one four burner stove. Olive oil, salt, vegetables, and herbs were all being passed around the room. One of the vice principles was drawn into the room by the rich smells of our cooking filling the hallway. He complimented us on our cooking and went on back into the hall way. The competition was friendly as groups would give each other tips and a helping hand. After everyone was done and all cleaned up, it was the moment we had all been waiting for... the judging. As our judges, Mr. Stewart and Laura, were sampling the food, the groups were have friendly debates as to why their dish was better than the rest. A member from each group got up to show the class there dish and give them a little description of what they had prepared. Hungry students hands whet flying out as soon as the dishes came to their table. The students sampled all the dishes as well as the teachers, but the most enjoyed amongst the students was the french fries. The only opinion the groups were interested in was of the judges. Mr. Stewart and Laura talked amongst them selfs and came to the agreement that they most enjoyed the potato and salad dish made by Morgans group. We were all happy to participate in our second iron chef and let our competitive side show. I'm sure everyone is anticipating our next competition with hopes of winning.
