FLT at Mairehau High school.

FLT

(Flexible Learning Time)

In FLT we get to learn and explore everything to do with adulting and life skills that a needed in life.

Some skills I have learnt through FlT are making a water filter so I can clean water if needed and
I also have learnt.
one very important skill that is very helpful later in life and that is how to find a flat and budget out
my money.

Probably my most favourite part of adulting 101 would be doing the
mystery food box challenge I found it fun because I was able to be creative with what I made and
I also liked how we didn't have many ingredients so
it made it even harder the make something but we made it through and the funny
thing about it is we didn't even use a recipe so it got pretty crazy in the kitchen.

Here are the list of the ingredients we had a choice out of.

1. carrot

2. egg

3. bag of pasta

4. can of tomato paste

5. onion

6. and garlic

We might have sneaked in some buns so we could make a burger.
Here's a picture of what the end result looked like.

If I had another opportunity to do this project I think I would  maybe experiment more with the ingredients
and communicate more with my partner because while I was in the kitchen we both had realised that we had completely different ideas of what
we were doing and how it was being done
and also I didn't realise that my partner was doing more of the work then I was.

One thing that worked well was how in the end me and my partner had little stations so she would
chop up the ingredients and put them in the burgers and I would cook the patties and mince for the burgers.

If i was to also carry on this in FLT i would like to try other foods and see
what kind of different ingredients mix together well and what ingredients don't.
