Last night, Greta got to bed late after working the basketball game so we were a little worried that she would be tired for her first 4-H contest early this morning. Surprisingly, she hopped out of bed and was pumped. She started food prep early, got her rice cooking and then cooked her okra, kielbasa creole. Her favorite meal. We showed up at 10 am and she had to do a formal place setting correctly with a centerpiece and then had an interview and then her food was tested. In the end she scored 99/100. Not bad for a first try. She lost a point because she wasn't sure how many servings of rice she made.
Setting her place setting.
being interviewed on her food choice and nutrition.
plating her creole for the judge
waiting to see if she liked it.. and she did very much.
Her first 4-H blue ribbon.
She didn't think she was ready for the measuring contest yet. Measuring has to be correct, level etc.. but she tried for future practice and she ended up getting a blue ribbon in measuring. She measures way better than I do. I learned a few things :)
Making her centerpiece the night before. She wanted to have flowers.
A fun morning that she really enjoyed and was proud of. I am impressed, I couldn't have done all that at 9 years old!
