Final week! This week I attempted two new recipes. One was an alteration of my mom’s recipe and the other was one I found online. The first one was a mushroom turnip cake for one of my vegetarian friends and it turned out pretty well. I learned that mushrooms smell weird and earthy and I do not like them. They are also squishy. But my friend and their family said it tasted very good so I am very glad that worked out.

I also tried making zha leung which is Chinese fried dough wrapped in steamed rice rolls and this didn’t turn out as hot. My dough wasn’t crispy and the rice roll just fell apart. Was not great.

I also learned this week that I am not great at using knives. I cut the same finger multiple times with the same knife throughout the week.
