Wednesday

The other groups presented to us. I filled out the grading sheet for the other groups to give them a grade on their project. All of the groups presented their projects well and did a good job on their project.

Tuesday

today my group presented or project on Ancient Rome. We handed out our roman homey cake and I think the people who ate really liked it. Then after that we watched the other group present their project to us.

Ancient Rome Project

Recipe

3 eggs

7 oz of honey

2 ounces of Matt’s flour

            Crack three eggs, put it in the mixer. Mix in 7 ounces honey with the eggs. After that, add 4 ounces of flour. Put in oven at 330 degrees for 40 minutes.

            Ancient Romans used honey all the time when they cooked. We decided to bake Roman Honey Cakes because that is what they liked a lot. It was pretty easy to make and they had easy access to honey. They almost put honey in everything they made. We hope were going to do well on this project.
