Essay Thesis

“it was only by a happy concurrence of circumstances, that we were enabled to bring this great question to its present position.”

John A. Macdonald, 1865

What this Quote means: I think this quote means that everything has happened for a reason. Without all of these events that have happened there wouldn’t  be a Canada that includes all of our provinces that we have today.

My Opinion: I agree and disagree with John A. Macdonald because I think he is right that there would’ve been no Canada that we know today without these events. Maybe we would’ve been more like America and make more wars instead of talk about it. Maybe we wouldn’t had French as one of our official languages. The reason I dont totally agree with him is because he says it was a happy concurrence of circumstances and the events weren’t happy. The events killed people and made a lot of stress for others. The only thing that was happy is the out come of one big peaceful country.

What’s in my Junk Food?

 Oreo Mcflurry’s 

I like Mcflurry’s because they can cool you down on a hot summer day. You can scrape off the caramel off the sides after eating the iceream, and there are chunks of Oreo that adds a crunch to every bite.This food is not that healthy because it is high in sugar and calories. Although it is high in calcium.

Chilli Cook off

Recipe I foundhttps://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/chili/c7df2894-907a-4309-a7f9-6e6f5a6c730d

 

Conversions for the recipe I found: 

Recipe we used: https://www.thespruce.com/simple-chili-with-ground-beef-3057205

Reflection: My group worked together really well. We had just gotten new table groups and this was the first lab we have done together. All of us knew what to do. The process of finding our recipe went well and it didn’t take us long to find one we liked. The next day we gathered the ingredients we needed and a sealed them so we can use it the next day. When cooking time came around it was fun, I enjoyed adding things as we went and made our own recipe. The only problem we had with our chilli was that it was really watery but, we solved that problem by adding 10ml of cornstarch to our chilli. The day of judging was kind of stressful because we didn’t know what the outcome was going to be. Our group won the chilli cook off!  The chilli cook of is my favourite things we have done in foods so far. I learned that are lots of ways to make chilli healthy and its not that complicated to make.
