B&E and Market day

 Two to three weeks prior from now, we started an activity which involved the house colors. It was called 'business & enterprise' and we were being instructed to pair up in groups of four people. Since there were some extra people that weren't in groups, some of us had five people instead of four. From what I believe, this activity was meant to help us learn how to work with other people and how to run a business. They did a good job at it, I'll give them that.

During the weeks that followed, we prepared for Market Day, which began on Sep 24, Wednesday. We planned for what we were gonna make, what we were gonna call ourselves and how we were gonna execute our plans. We decided to make some afghan cookies and milkshakes and call ourselves 'Cookie Shakes'. Eventually, we scrapped the idea of milkshakes as the ingredients would've cost us extra and put us over the intended budget, and they would've been extra work.

We also began designing our banner for our stall. We got a good idea of using the netball posts to hang our banner, and because of that, our banner stood higher than the other ones. We got our ingredients at the last week, but couldn't make the cookies until the second to last day because we had no sugar and the person who was meant to bring sugar was out sick during the week and prior to. 

In Market day, we made some last-minute baking to make the icing for the afghans. We were told to go back to the kitchen when we finished cooking but forgot to clean our space. I bought the largest afghan we had for $1.50 worth of tokens. We also sold out of our afghan cookies very quickly because we had such a short supply. We also didn't have any extra ingredients to make anymore cookies the day before. 

When I got home, I gave the cookie I bought to my parents. They said it tasted good and that we did a good job at making them. I felt happy because of that, but I didn't feel confident that I would be okay cooking on my own.
