What I learned from my 20% Time Project: A Sample Response
One skill I focused on was cutting and chopping things. I had lots of opportunities because of the meals I cooked. I often had to use things such as onions, fresh garlic, and cilantro. These kinds of things require chopping. I definitely got better and learned more efficient ways to do this. Anyways, back to the specific meals I cooked. Often, I had to be doing multiple things at once. For example, I would have some things that would have to be stirred or watched, but at the same time had to be making a sauce. Some of the meals also required me to continuously come back to stir them while they cooked. Before these meals, I had had a little experience with cooking already. I used to cook with my dad all the time in the kitchen, but naturally as I got older, I became busier and less interested in that sort of thing. I only got back into it recently. And this time, it’s been mostly on my own. This project is what helped me get back into it. But even before the project, I wanted to start easing back into it. I made two meals on my own partly to just kind of see where I was at. I made Mexican lasagna and meatloaf. Mexican lasagna involves different layers of things. Those layers included a ground beef mixture, cottage cheese and sour cream mixture, cheddar cheese, and tortilla chips. And the meatloaf is pretty self explanatory. But making these meals was before I had some of the skills I’ve learned with this project. Like I said, I definitely improved my cutting skills. I also got more efficient in the kitchen in general. At first, I didn’t really know much of what I was doing, but as I continued to cook, I gradually got more comfortable in the kitchen and the sort of things that went into cooking. Another thing I learned is different types of spices and what they do to flavor certain things. Spices are used A LOT in cooking. I mean, what’s a meal without flavor? Not really a very good one. You can do all sorts of things in terms of flavor. You can even add your own little touches to a meal to make it unique and your own! Another thing I got to work on with this project is not necessarily about cooking. I got to practice my writing skills (specifically the TREAT format), because I wrote blog posts about each of the specific meals I cooked. I also learned that I could be unmotivated sometimes, when I knew I had to cook. It’s definitely not the easiest thing. But despite that, I will definitely continue to cook because like I said, it’s a great skill. Continuing to cook will also mean that I will progress with all the skills I’ve been working on and also acquire new ones! Thanks for listening and I encourage you to consider trying cooking too! There are many benefits. (add in stuff about visuals and also add in short demonstration of something like my cutting skills)
