I have a partner for this project, Brooklyn, and we cam up with he project to make 2 foods and a drink. We wont just be learning how to make them though, we will dig through the drink and foods background more.

This month our goal is to layout our  plan for presenting and what we need for presenting. I'm hoping we can get a lot done and even type up everything we need to explain and talk about

Brooklyn and I this month didn't get as much done as we were hoping and weren't able to complete our whole speech. We got down topics we were going to talk about and how. Also, we were able to get the order of how were going to present or talk about during are presentation. I think we still were able to accomplish things we mostly need right now.

This month we decided how were going to explain things to people in a smooth way. We also had to make sure that both Brooklyn and I had an equal amount of talking.

I learned how we need more things in out speech to be able to present fully. This wont be too hard to do because we just need a couple more facts. We also leanred this might take longer then we thought. We are hoping we can get this done and present with beverything we need.

Brooklyn and I created the project to make 2 different foods and a smoothie. We will be learning about the background of these and how to make them properly.

For this month we have the goal to get all of our notes or facts together and try to see if we have enough. If we don't have enough notes then we will take some time to get more. This won't take too long though.

Brooklyn and I this month were able to accomplish our goal. We have everything written down in a notebook. We have decided that we have enough for now but if eventually if we ever need more we can easily get some more good information to really make sure our project is successful.

We got notebook and at first wrote all of the ingredients for everything on a separate page. After that we spent at least one day or more on each thing were making, and found some interesting facts about each of them. All of this will really help with completing our project soon.

This month we have both learned te best thing about the mochi balls, coconut meringue drops, and the watermelon and lime agua fresca drink. Mochi balls were actually originally made by Lotte in Japan in 1981.

# data[].attributes.body
Our project is to research different foods and a drink and not just learn how to make them but learn more about them.
Brooklyn and I for this month made the goal of learning more about the mochi balls now that we have the ingredients. also, we already have how to make it.
We did accomplish our goal this month but were kind of hoping to find more information. Later on we decided if we have more time we will try to get more information.
Brooklyn and I both spent a decent ammount of time trying to find out where mochi balls come from. I found out some of the traditional names of mochi balls. Lastly i got some tips about them.

Mochi ice cream is a confection made from Japanese mochi (pounded sticky rice) with an ice cream filling. It was invented by Japanese-American businesswoman and community activist Frances Hashimoto with help from her husband, Joel.

Mochi ice cream is a small, round confection consisting of a soft, pounded sticky rice dumpling ( mochi) formed around an ice cream filling. The ice cream adds flavor and creaminess to the confection while the mochi adds sweetness and texture. The traditional ice cream flavors used are vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Other flavors, such as Kona coffee, plum wine, green tea, and red bean, are also widely used. Mochi can also be flavored as a complement to the ice cream filling. When making mochi, it is dusted with either potato or cornstarch to keep it from caking while being formed and handled.

Japanese daifuku and manjū are the predecessors to mochi ice cream, commonly featuring adzuki bean filling. Due to the temperature and consistency of mochi and ice cream, both components must be modified. This is to achieve the right viscosity that will remain constant regardless of changes in temperature.

An early predecessor form of the dessert was originally produced by Lotte, as Yukimi Daifuku in 1981. The company first made the product by using a rice starch instead of sticky rice and a rice milk instead of real ice cream.

Frances Hashimoto, the former president and CEO of Mikawaya, is credited as the inventor of mochi ice cream. Hashimoto's husband, Joel Friedman, conceived the idea of taking small orbs of ice cream and wrapping them in a Japanese traditional mochi rice cake. Frances Hashimoto expanded on her husband's idea, inventing the fusion dessert now popular in the United States and elsewhere. Hashimoto introduced seven flavors in the mochi product line.

Mikawaya, a company in America, began production of mochi ice cream in the United States in 1993. Research and development took over a decade to evolve into the mass production form used today, due to the complex interactions of the ingredients. Trial and error was used in order to successfully pull the delicate mochi dough over the ice cream without leaving a sodden mess. Friedman explained that in order to conduct production of the ice cream, experts ranging from construction to microbiology were brought in to perfect the state-of-the-art production building.

Mikawaya debuted their Mochi Ice Cream in Hawaii in 1994. The frozen treat was so popular, it captured 15% of the novelty frozen treat market during its first four months.

Mochi ice cream gained huge popularity in the UK following a viral TikTok trend, which began in January 2021. The trend of 'Looking for Little Moons in Big Tesco' became a sensation, receiving 341.8M views and a surge in sales of 1400% in Tesco alone.

Now, even in stores like Trader Joe's, sell Mochi Ice Cream with flavors such as Mango, Chocolate, and in some places: Purple Yam.

The project Brooklyn and I are doing is making 2 foods, coconut meringue drops and mochi balls, and a drink which is Watermelon Lime-Agua Fresca, We wont just be making things though, we will be learning about the background of them too.

The goal we came up with this month is to research about the watermelon lime-agua fresca. We know where it is from and now need to know more about how it is really made and things like that.

We did end up learning more information that will really help us when we go more into presenting this. Now we can relieved that we are all done with our drink section. Also, We don't need many ingredients for this either

We searched on the internet really interesting facts about our drink. Additionally, we searched many other thing about the drink and found some good facts.

Brooklyn and I have the project of making some foods and learning about the background of them and how to make them in a really good way by researching and finding sneaky little tricks to use

The goal we came up with was to research more about the coconut meringue drops which is one of our first foods. We will find out where it originates from and how it was originally made and type of all of these things and more in our padlets.

We did accomplish our goal and we have learned way more about the coconut meringue drops and we even got some helpful tips. We also got some secrets to help make then taste even better then when you make them without it.

Brooklyn and I got together during class and went online to look research and look at different recipes to make sure that they would be effective and good for our use. We found about 4 but we may even find more later. We went over the websites together too before we chose them to use for our project.

The project I am doing is making 2 treats and a drink but also learning about the ethnic background and culture behind the treats and drink.

Brooklyn and I made the goal of getting the ingredients and directions we need for each thing and write them down or type them, and yes we did accomplish this.

We learned what we would need to do and how much time making each thing would take. Also, we now know what we need to get at the store for we when do make our things.

Brooklyn and I went through lots of websites trying to find an accurate one. When we did find an accurate website for ingredients and directions of making what we needed, we read through it again. When we found a good website we copied and pasted them down below.

1. I think that Ethans Idea about making homeless care packages is very thoughtful and creative.

2. I dont think anyone else is wanting to really do a project like Brooklyn and I's

3. I am partnering up with Brooklyn and I have already talked to her a bunch and we know what we want to do together.

Idea 1 Making 2 treats,  and 1 drink all from different places.
Pros: Brooklyn and I get to work together, I get to learn how to be better at baking, and lastly how much i will learn about the treats and drink because they are from different places.

Idea 2

I also maybe wanted to talk about how other governments work in different countries

Pros: I get to learn more about the different countries so i know mostly how everything works if I ever go on a trip  there.

I would be able to compare how the countries are diffferent and it could benefit me if world studies.

Con: It would probably take me awhile to learn about everything and sometimes its hard to find facts that are true.

Idea 3

My last choice that i might want to do is learn about a lot of the endangered species

Pros:  I might be able to see if I could help with endangered species.

I could learn about what tyoe of animals are endangered

Cons: It might be sad to find out that there are a lot of endangered species that are really struggling
