Museums of Western Colorado. Warning Content Note: George Washington's Recipe included alcohol. Teacher may want to preview the recipe using the video but not share with younger students. This recipe is non-alcoholic. Eggnog has a long history in the United States. Join Erin Schmitz, Assistant Director/Curator of Collections and Archives for the Museums of Western Colorado and Cross Orchards, as she discusses George Washington's recipe and makes her own! Erin's Eggnog Recipe 12 egg yolks 16oz heavy cream 4 cups whole milk 1 cup sugar Cinnamon to taste Nutmeg to taste Combine egg yolks and sugar and beat to combine. Bring milk, cream, nutmeg, and cinnamon sticks to barely a simmer. Ladle hot milk mixture in to eggs and sugar slowly to temper the mixture. After about half the milk mixture is added, transfer back into the rest of the milk mixture and cook on low until slightly thickened. Remove and chill. The mixture will thicken more as it cools.

Join Curator of Paleontology, Dr. Julia McHugh, as she teaches you how to make her famous frosted sugar cookies and throws in some neat dinosaur facts! Dinosaur Cut-Out Sugar Cookies:
1 cup of sugar ¼ cup of softened butter ½ tsp. of vanilla extract 2 large eggs 1 tsp. of salt 1 tsp. of baking soda 2 ½ cups of flour In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking soda, and salt together and set aside. Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy, and sugar completely dissolves. Add eggs and vanilla to butter/sugar mixture and beat with mixer until well-blended (about 2-4 minutes). Gradually add the flour mixture, stirring well. Once entire mixture is well creamed together, divide into 2-4 “loafs” and wrap in waxed paper. Chill dough for 2-4 hours. Rolling out cookies: Cover surface with a light dusting of flour to prevent dough from sticking. Rub flour onto rolling pin and cookie cutters. Remove dough and roll “loafs” into a flat layer about ¼ inch thick (thinner for crispy cookies, thicker for doughy cookies). Use cookie cutters to cut dinosaur shapes. Peel away dough from in between shapes and add this remnant dough to the next loaf. Place cookies on non-stick or greased cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 6-8 minutes, or until edges turn golden brown. Let cookies completely cool on wire rack or on parchment paper before decorating. Vanilla Butter Cream Frosting ½ cup of softened butter (not melted) 1 ½ tsp. of vanilla extract 5-6 Tbsp. of milk 4 ½ cups confectionary (powdered) sugar Cream butter using spoon or spatula until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the rest of the ingredients, beating the mixture as you add them. If too runny, add small amounts of additional sugar, or if too stiff add additional milk. Beat frosting until desired consistency. Divide into bowls and add food coloring.

This book is intended to give students a basic understanding of the various types of meat and poultry used in the food service industry, and how the terminology used by retail, wholesale, and food service customers varies. Meat cutting for restaurants and hotels differs slightly from meat cutting for retail. Restaurants and hotels sometimes use names of cuts on menus that are common in the kitchen vernacular or in other jurisdictions like Europe or the United States, while retail meat cutters are bound by Canadian regulations regarding labelling and marketing of meat products to consumers for retail.

I have spent the past five or so years giving conference presentations on the topics of learning disabilities, technology, use of visuals and media. I am a seasoned teacher of Adult Basic Education within Corrections. I am hoping that someone can find a few ideas here they may want to build into their own curriculum. These are PowerPoint collections mostly. The conferences I shared them at were CEA, or Correctional Education Association and our State GED / Literacy Conference.

This curriculum unit, exploring the energy in food and the thermodynamics of cooking, will include 5 days of 80-minute lessons in which the students will pick a particular food to study. The food will either need to be purchased or produced, and will need to be a food that begins as batter or liquid and solidifies during cooking. For those students who, for any reason, cannot bring in the food, they will be provided a brownie, cupcake, or other common food item. The project will contain two main components or parts. First, the energy stored within the food will be analyzed by applying mathematics. This will require conversion between a common physics unit of kilojoules (kJ) and a common household unit of kilocalories (kcal, CAL or Calories). Students will then need to apply their knowledge of work and energy conservation to provide an example of physical exercise that would be required for them to expend an equal amount of energy that is contained in their food. If a student is uncomfortable sharing their own mass, they may use the common example of a 70-kg person. The second part of their project will involve them using experimental data to determine the heat diffusion constant for their particular food by using a method similar to that described by Rowat et al. published in 2014, “The kitchen as a physics classroom10.” This can be done by placing several thermocouples in their food sample (or probing with toothpicks as will be described later) while heating until the center of the food gets to a desired temperature. Once the diffusion constant is determined, it can then be used to derive an equation that will allow the students to determine the required cooking time based on the size of the food sample. Although larger meals may be interesting samples for the experiment, the food samples must remain reasonably small so that the experiment can be completed within a single class period and can be cooked using toaster ovens or small classroom heaters. Students, in groups of 2-3, will be required to share their data with the class so that the results can be discussed. Students will be graded on their mathematical analysis and an accurate derivation of an equation to predict cooking time based on their measured diffusion constant. Teacher checks will be structured strategically throughout the process to ensure student projects meet the requirements and that student groups remain on pace. By relating energy in food to exercises with equal outputs, and by generating equations to ensure foods will be cooked properly, students not only learn physics in an engaging way but also learn how physics can be used to tackle real-world problems.
