Home Economics

On Friday last week, we made scones. We were late to class because we didn't hear the bell for period four, so we started cooking a little later. Because of this, we couldn't wait to get our scones out of the oven because the bell for lunch had already rung. So, we took them out before they were cooked properly and they were really doughy. 

Other than that, it was really fun working with my teammate. We got eight scones each.

Below is a word art I made for food and a thermometer I made a couple of weeks ago:

Now I'm going to write the recipe we needed to make our scones:
