- Thanksgiving Research Assignment: Find two side dishes or desserts that you are interested in making for our in-class Thanksgiving feast next week. Your recipes must be for traditional Thanksgiving foods, though they can have a unique twist (For example: Caramel Pumpkin Cheesecake instead of classic pumpkin pie).
- Print each recipe (507 - Crumbliss). DO NOT PRINT A ZILLION PAGES! Please ask first if you are not sure of how to print only the recipe.
- On each printout, you must scale the recipes to feed our class. If the recipe feeds 6 people, you will have to determine how to scale the recipe to feed all of the students in class, this may mean doubling or tripling the ingredients. Mrs. Crumbliss will offer an example on the board.
- Use the terms and definitions found here to complete vocabulary chart.
