And now for just a random moment. I saw this video and I think it is beautiful. I like this a lot better than the original singer. The kids and singers have great enthusiasm. It just makes me wish I could sing that well :)

It's A Late Post But It's A Post Nontheless: My STAR Event Experience
So this post is actually for Thursday, but I've been pretty busy so I didn't get to it until now.
Lydia, Jeannie, and I got to work together (and stress over) a STAR event for FCCLA. We chose the Food Innovations event. Basically what we had to do was come up with a food that was ready-to-heat for a busy family of about five. It also had to be low fat, low sodium, and high protein. We also chose packaging for it and a market price. What we came up with was "Rice Pockets". We based it off of a Korean dish and basically what it is is flavored ground beef mixed in with rice and minced vegetables and stuffed into tofu pockets. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!
We tested it on people and then put together a display board of our whole planning process and the results. We added an oral presentation onto that and voila! The judges loved us and we went home with placing gold and qualifying for state competition. Although we would really love to go to state, we're not sure we will because it will be $110 dollars for each of us and we don't really have that money right now.
The best part was getting to enjoy each other's company all day while missing school, finding out Ms. Zirbes, a Timpanogos school administrator, was one of our judges, and pigging out at the Cannon Center at BYU with our meal payed for! I seriously ate so much I almost made myself sick haha! I had a plate of pasta, a pizza the size of half a large dinner plate, a hamburger, two slushies, and a maple bar donut. Hehe I love buffets.
Thanks to Lydia and Jeannie for working hard with me and then having a good time with me.
