It went well as usual. Now the class took most of the ingredients instead of only 1 or 2 that she likes. I group them as 3 teams, itโ€™s nice to see they share works, take turn and help each other .

We made veggie tempura today

The class did a great job. The ingredients are tomatoes, avocado, boil your eggs in the beginning, sound of them who say, oh, I don't like the avocado sound of them. Say, I don't like a tomato, but end up. They they take my suggestion, they say, I say some some time, maybe you make for your friends or your family. So maybe like, like a mall or and also with these three ingredients will make your Avocado toast more colorful. So they take my suggestion and it all take the oil ingredients. I think that's a great turnout.

We made avocado toasts today
