Online tools

Great posts guys!

Today we're going to follow up our discussion of Gmail by looking at some other online tools:

• Google Reader
• Google Calendar
• Google Docs
• Flickr
• Facebook

Are there any online tools I missed here that you think might be useful for the class?

Of course, online tools are only one option, so we're also going to start into software that installs to your computer: the Microsoft Office package, starting today with MS Word.

How to barbeque salmon at the beach with a cedar stick. here is how it is done , find a piece of cedar it has to be 3 to 4 feet long and about 3 inches wide, and another piece of cedar that is about a foot and half to two feet cut them into a quarter inch square. ok here is how the salmon is possessed , start by cutting from the back of the salmon's head down one side of the salmon back all the way down to the tail , then back up to the head and cut deeper into the salmon , use the salmon back bone for a guide as you cut deeper into the salmon you will reach the ribs. do not cut threw the ribs use this as another guide so you don't cut the stomach . cut the same to the other side of the salmon, when this is done the salmon should have a butter fly look , this is when the salmon is ready to be put on the cedar stick. here's how it is done use a 3 inch stick to hold the split cedar stick open lie it on a flat surface ,then slide the salmon about a foot and a half from the bottom of the stick the salmon has to centered so it doesn’t slide off ,with the tale of the fish on the bottom of the stick use the small cedar sticks after salmon is centered use 3 sticks on the back and 3 on the front have the sticks match together , after this all you have to do is tie the top of the stick with a cedar branch or a salowe branch. use another stick to dig a hole by the fire to put the salmon that you put on the cedar stake place it in the hole cook over the fire until the juice of salmon stops dripping this is when the salmon is done cooking try it you will love it

James here....

James here, I'm from East Van, born and raised by my grandmother on my mother's side, her family is from Lillooet/Shalath and my father's side is from Mount Currie. I am in the middle of 9 brothers and 2 sisters and have become a germ freak from that experience, but what I learned more from all that growing up is, they all sucked at cooking!
At the age of 11 is where I feel I caught the "cooking bug" at the EXPO 86 food fair, where I first tasted deep fried bananas with Ice Cream. 5 years after paying close attention to my grandma, and learning the basics, I applied for a job at Toody-Ni restaurant which was attached to the Indian Center on Hastings & Commercial ....washed alotta dishes before I was allowed to cut with a knife, but it was worth the wait. At 19, I joined welfare to get into the Picasso Cafe program, it dealt with more vegetarian dishes and organic meats, it was a year long course. Now at the age of 32 I feel that its time to grow up, hence me taking this course, which will eventually get me into a butchers class....

Todday in class...

Today in class we're going to set up an email account with Gmail: www.gmail.com. We're also going to create accounts with Blogger: www.blogger.com. This means that there'll be a lot of posting going on here in the next little while because all of you are going to introduce yourselves to the blogosphere! After that, over the next few weeks, I'm going to ask you to post some of your favorite recioies to the blog so that everyone can try them out.
