Sandy had an English camp this weekend. An English camp is a chance for the kids to spend have two days of interesting activities and spend the night at school. A colleague spent the night and Sandy and I taught the lessons.
We thought it would be fun to have the kids prepare Fajitas. I love them and taught students in Japan to prepare them. I thought it would be a good experience for the kids to learn a little about a foreign culture and food since most have never had guacamole or cheddar cheese.
Because I taught cooking classes before, I was pretty relaxed going into this. Things started pretty well, but it quickly became apparent that some of the kids had never done anything in the kitchen. A couple did not even know how to handle a knife properly. Then the big problems: the onions. Nearly half of the kids needed to leave the area because they said the onions that other people were cutting were bothering their eyes. I think it was a mass hysteria thing, but I am not sure.
We finished cooking and, surprisingly, the food turned out really good. Unfortunately, the kids were mostly unwilling to try the guacamole or cheese.
