The big day! After an amazing day of track {I'm going to Championships :)} I came home to start making my torte with Dad!
It took us 4 hours to make it and finish my power point.
The filling was was extremely easy to make, but the crust proved to be the hardest part! It was too flaky then to soft. It refused to stay together! So we waited for mom to get home to help. Eventually we got the whole thing to work and baked it! I hope it turns out well tomorrow.
The Stats
Time~ 10 hours 40 minutes
money~ $30.15

Project IV
Shopping Day with DAD!!!! Ah! Mom is the one who usually the one who helps me with school projects involving food, but she is on 3-11's this week. Making this dish will be interesting!
We spent three+ hours shopping at Wally-World and Giant Eagle. One hour of travel to Robinson and back, one hour finding all ingredients, and one hour trying to find Parmigiano Reggiano. We spent a total of $30.14.
The Parmigiano Reggiano cheese proved to be the most difficult thing to find! We spent most of our time in Wal-Mart but could not find this cheese! We asked the people working the Deli but they had no idea what we were asking for. So Dad and I drove to Giant Eagle in hope to find it. When we found it, I almost screamed! For one pound of two year old cheese it was 10 dollars! The stuff is imported from Italy and naturally aged for 24 months! It is ridiculous!
So moral of the story is know what your going to make (or at least the ingredients used) and how much its going to coast you!!

"We create our fate every day we live" ~Henry Miller
What role has FATE played in William Shakespeare's tragedy, Romeo and Juliet?
Fate- n. the supposed force, principle, or power that predetermines events;
Fate is a huge role in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Under the circumstances that Romeo and Juliet met, fell in love, and died proves something, such as fate, caused it. Some people do not believe in fate, but if they read this play, they cannot believe this any more!
Romeo sneaks into the Capulet's masquerade ball. Tybalt knows that Romeo, a hate Montague, was at this party and tells Lord Capulet. Due to the earlier events of Prince Escalus telling both lords of the houses that they will be killed if there was another occurrence, Lord Capulet allowed Romeo to stay. Romeo was looking for his love, Rosaline, but finds a new love-interest, Juliet. They both fall in love at first sight, share one conversation, and kiss. Only a power such as FATE could cause this astonishing meeting!
Fate does not always work in our favor. Fate is the only thing that could drive the Montague's and Capulet's further apart. Tybalt hunts down Romeo to fight him. Romeo becomes angry at Tybalt after he killed Mercutio. Romeo forgets his love for Juliet and murders Tybalt. When Romeo killed Tybalt, he killed any chance of having a life with his wife, Juliet. FATE caused this downfall in the 'perfect' romance.
Fate caused something much worse for the two young lovers. Fate built up to cause the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Fate caused the message to not get to Romeo, causing him to run to Juliet's grave, and caused him to take his own life. By Romeo doing this, Juliet took her own life. They both said they would kill to be together and end up doing so. FATE caused Romeo and Juliet to die. Their death caused the two families to come together, forgive their pasts, and get over the feud.
Fate causes many drastic things in our lives. In Romeo and Juliet's case, it caused them to meet, falling love, and die. Fate can be such a great thing, but can also be horrible. Fate is a huge part of Romeo and Juliet!
