Final Topic: PowerPoint

For our final class, we will have a brief look at Microsoft PowerPoint, a presentation program included as part of the Microsoft Office package. This program will feel familiar to many of you because we've already worked with other programs included in Microsoft Office: Word and Excel.

We'll be stopping class at 2:45 or so we can have some time to eat cake, but before this I'd like to have everyone fill out an evaluation form for the program, and take a few minutes to make a quick PowerPoint. I'd like all your presentations to have

• a title page
• one of your recipes (you could copy from the blog)
• an image

Resources & Tools for Continuing Education

The goal of this course has been to give all participants a basic understating of technology, but technology changes, and even though you might be up-to-date today, if you don't continue to learn and explore you can get left behind. Fortunately, there are a number of resources that can help you stay current:

Life Hacker
43 Folders
Ars Technica
BoingBoing
Wired News

Additionally, you might be interested in taking further courses. In Surrey, there are a number places you can do further coursework, but after this course I'd recommend checking out Surrey Parks and Recreation and the Surrey School District Continuing Education Department.

This is my Creme Brulee Recipe

CREME BRULEE

1 pt. heavy cream6 egg yolks1/2 c. sugarPinch of salt2 tsp. vanillaLight brown sugar (granulated)

Heat heavy cream (the heaviest you can get) to the boiling point. Lightly beat egg yolks with sugar and a pinch of salt; pour the hot cream over them, stirring constantly with a wooden spatula or wire whisk until well blended.
Add vanilla or a little mace or any other flavoring you desire. Strain the custard into a 1 1/2 quart heat-proof baking dish; stand the dish in a pan of warm water and bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the custard is completely set but not over cooked. Do not let the water in the pan boil. Remove from the oven; cool and then chill in the refrigerator.
About 1 1/2 to 2 hours before serving, sprinkle the top evenly with fine light brown granulated sugar to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Put under the broiler (or use a salamander, if you have one) until the sugar is melted and bubbly, watching carefully to see it does not scorch and burn. Remove, cool, and chill again until serving time. You'll have a hard, highly glazed crust on top of the custard. This will serve about 6. If you have more guests, double the recipe, using 12 egg yolks to a quart of cream.

about me

Hi I am Kiefer. I am a 16 year old male who has just started in the culinary trade and is now on his cooking apprenticeship. I have always enjoyed cooking because it takes me to a better place e.g. If I am angry cooking takes away my anger so I can focus on what I have to do for the day. I love to play baseball I am currently going into my 10 year WOW! My friends have told me that I am a fun guy to be around because I can make you smile if you are not feeling happy. Well that is as much as I can think of right now about me.

Blogger today

Today we'll start with some email review time, but as soon as we finish that, we'll learn about blogging! Check back later for introductions from the latest round of Kla-how-eya recruits.
