SEC-S20W4 | 2nd Time: Rice.

It is yet another gastronomy class and it is my pleasure to take part in this week homework. I so much enjoy the study because it is very plain and understandable as it has to do with the ingredients that are readily available in my location. It also contain the things I've already known so it makes the study very easy for me to understand.

Rice is one of the most common food in my country. I cook rice like every week in my home, My family members likes rice so with this I have some knowledge about rice especially the different types of it. This lesson has also exposed me to other types of rice that I never know and how to prepare rice as the main dish or side dish, I appreciate it.

So I proceed to do my homework

Imagine a 3-course menu that goes with your main dish

Mixed salad can be used, then the main dish is rice and a fresh pineapple smoothie as desert.

I made this choice because it helps this meal too be balanced with all the necessary nutrients that is needed to consume to given proportion.

My experience of learning about pasta and rice

It was really smooth for pasta, I have never made a pasta before. I only prepared ready made pasta but my experience of learning how to make a fresh pasta was really amazing. Although, I was a little bit scared if I will be able to eat it or how the outcome will be like but I was determined to carry out the practical and of course I was pleased by the results because it's turned out very well.

Selfie with my food

This week again I have learned about rice the different types of rice and how it is being served. I appreciate the fact that this class has built that knowledge or has expanded my knowledge in the field of knowing the different types of rice and their taste.

Initially when I started reading the course, I was nervous to see what this week holds but after reading the different types of rice and their flavours, I sat down to imagine the different types of rice I've eaten and how it tasted. It has never came to my mind to sit down and imagine the different flavours of rice and go by choice. But then this class has helped me to have that at the back of my mind anytime I'm buying rice again, I'll definitely go for the one that has a good flavour and a good taste.

So in general I appreciate the experience I have in this two classes Thank you so much @nahela I appreciate your lecture.

I will like to invite @nancy0 @okere-blessing @drhira to take part in this week contest.
