Blog #7 independent component 1 approval.
(I) I'm going to assist cooking with mom and grandma looking into Mexican recipes and looking into how and if theres an american cousin to it, in which case I'll note on what the diffrences are. I will also study the style of cooking from the american chefs through means of research and cooking shows, this will help me understand how it differs from the regional mexican food and american-mexican food.
(II) Working with my mom and grandma isn't going to be counted as hours but I will document notes and points of intrest in the creation of the dish. What will be documented are the hours and activities done over at the ROP I attend over at the pomona village.
(III) I will experience the creation of a mexican dishes and be able to distinguish the two styles because of the nature of the project it requires more of a hands on approach this way the cooking of it will be more understood by going through the process of creating a dish. I will take a photo of the final product to show what I've assisted in creating.

Blog #2 Going mexican
This originally started as an endevor to be a few diffrent things but right now I think were just interested in the mexican food ... It started with me wanting to go into being a comfort food cook because of how nice it was to relax people through food in an experience through four senses. Then I had to specify what "comfort food" to go into from there my project evolved into being a mexican food cook so that I do the same thing because read a few things and as it turns out as long as that food item (can even be gum! ) is linked to a great experience that food becomes a comfort food. So... I decided because my mom and nana cook mexican food in a mexican style It looks fun and almost always has crowds of people around their dishes (you know except when it's just me and either nana or mom) so I decided to go into mexican cuisine.

Blog #4 Project Reflection and Working EQ
Blog #4 Project Reflection and Working EQ
(1) I have found a few more people who I can talk top in the ROP classes it is nice to be able to cook every once in a while in the other class I work in with another mentor who I work with for an hour.
(2)the research that has finnally changed my subject to the mexican food was the article "The phsycology behind comfort food. " It showed me that as long as someone has a good feeling with the food or smell the body will have the relaxing stimulant released into the body.
(3)helping me so far is the teacher help, the ROP, and the research in the subject of what I'm doing.
(4) has'nt worked? every thing is working nicely sofar just, I need to be a little more active in the internet.
(5)Q's? What could I do to get a even better understanding on what the root of meican cooking is.
to what other aspects can mexican food apply to when looked at or approached in other ways.
My end goal is to be able to understand mexican food and see how I can share the experience of mexican cooking with everyone else.
I'm not experienced enough in my subject as it is so I woulden't know specifics as to what to answer to this part, I would like to speak with a true mexican cook who knows the older ways of mexican cooking though.

Blog# 5A Problem Statement
Problem : Iread up somewhere that said that people who eat "mexican cuisine " are actually eating an american translation of the dish therefore not really gaining the true mexican experience. That is my problem
