Trying something new

Last week Tuesday, we were put into teams and our assignment was to experience something that is new to us as a group and show the class today on what we learned. Our team all decided that we were not experts at all when it came to baking/cooking so that's what we did. We made Chile Corn Muffins with Chipotle Butter, this recipe is from Sandra Lee on the Food Network website. Kayla M. was our team leader for this project and she did a great job. She planned everything and got everyone on task right away and was very organized. When trying to find a time to meet together it was difficult for a time where everyone could meet. It ended up working out where my other group members met and made the corn muffins and told me about how it went because I was unable to meet with them. Sophie was the one who was influential because she went out and got the ingredients that we needed. Leigh had good technical skills that our group needed because she had the most "experience" with cooking new recipes and Kayla had the human skills because she was able to communicate with everyone and we needed to accomplish. Overall, I think that creativity in Kayla's part stood out by her finding an interesting recipe for us to make. I believe that Kayla was a great leader for this project because she was able to communicate with us and motivate us to keep on task and to finish the assignment ahead of time, instead of waiting until the last minute.

I enjoyed this assignment because I was able to learn something new and also experience a new type of food. Also, with learning new things from other groups it has inspired me to make an effort to learn something new every month.
