Please return signed Lab Safety Slips to the class tray by Friday, March 22nd. Although we won't always use them, please bring your Chromebooks to class everyday. Sew? Now what?
Due to the snow days, sewing projects are now optional. You have 2 choices: 1. Complete a sewing project (by Thursday, 3/21) for an assessed score. (The FCS room will be open for sewing on Tuesday, 3/19 & Thursday, 3/21 before & after school.) 2. Exempt the project from your personal overall Content grade. (This means your Content grade will be averaged without a sewing score.) All other coursework is due. Work received by 3/17/19 will be evaluated. Unsubmitted work will be scored accordingly. This is the last week of the quarter. Please check Infinite Campus for missing or incomplete assessments. Late and revised coursework will be accepted until the end of term. Sewing samples should be completed by Monday, 3/11. Sewing projects should be finished by Friday, 3/15. This week we'll wrap up our food safety investigations and assess kitchen basics.
On Thursday, we'll begin our sewing and fabric care unit. We used our electric skillets to make our breakfast potatoes, however, using a stove top skillet is fine. Many people suggest soaking the potatoes in water to remove some of the starch. If you cut your potatoes ahead of time, you should soak them to avoid discoloration. Remember to drain the potatoes well before cooking. Here is the recipe we used in class: (We skipped the onions and used dried herbs & spices. Other potato varieties can be used.) https://thewholecook.com/skillet-breakfast-potatoes/ You can also roast potatoes in the oven. These can be cut into any uniform size.

Recipe Notes: Use any combination of herbs you'd like. Dry spices/herbs can be substituted, use 1-2 teaspoons dry herbs in place of fresh. What Temperature to Roast Potatoes: We most often roast potatoes at 425°F as it crisps the outside. Depending on what else you have going in the oven, you can cook potatoes at a lower temp if needed (but you may need a longer baking time). The following cook times are for 1″ potato cubes:
