Entry #4

A challenge that Sarina and I are facing right now is the reinvention of our project. We had trouble with the how-to aspect with the last idea, but thankfully, there was a solution. So now, instead of doing something to teach others, we will be doing videos about new food experiences that we will introduce to each other.  Also, there will be videos showcasing our own versions of certain dishes, and then comparing to see which is better. Another idea for this channel is to "spice up" some old classics and put a new spin on them. Honestly, time has been a challenge for us. With our busy schedules, it's hard to find time sometimes to work on this project. However, we do have some outside of class work time coming up fairly soon, so that issue is going to be resolved.

This picture of hot cocoa relates to the challenges we are facing because it is actually a solution. Hot cocoa is easy to make, and lots of spins can be put on it. It also helps with our time problems, because it's fast to make, and can be done quickly (although we are also going to be doing some sort of pastry as well).

Entry #3

So far, Sarina and I are still on the planning phase of our cooking show.  We've decided what food items we want to cook, and we will begin to plan individual videos soon (like tomorrow). The time frame for our project has been set as well, although I feel that it might be a bit too demanding. We might have to scale back a bit if we truly want to set an achievable goal. There are some issues that we still have to resolve, one being the uniqueness of our show.  I want to find another factor other than the "by beginners for beginners", because I feel like that's not enough to make our show special. 

So this picture is a picture of some of the plans for the cooking show. On it are the types of food we've chosen, as well as the difficulty rating. There are also some plans for other videos, like the instructional food safety one. There may even be some innovative components to the show, and those are in the works.
