March 28 - A Great Way To Spend A Friday Evening


       "5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" Kate grabs the basket's handle and yanks it open, revealing our mystery ingredients: spicy red pepper pasta sauce, white rice, hamburger meat, and mac and cheese sauce powder. We get five minutes to plan and gather ingredients from the pantry and tools from around the kitchen before our 30 minutes of cook time begin. We once again look at our ingredients and combine our own plans to create a master scheme before getting right down to it. She cooks the beef, I cook the sauce and vegetables. We yell at each other from across the kitchen, just like the rest of the teams. Our station is located right next to the stove. The one stove, that only has four burners for all three groups. I reach around people and people reach around me, and before we know it our 30 minutes are almost up and we're plating our delicious concoctions. Each team presents their creations to the judges and takes the criticism well, almost like the professionals on TV. Once that's over we all turn and walk nervously down stairs to await the declaration of just which group got chopped.
