Thanksgiving,Global Fusion and School Musical

Thanksgiving
Na vďakyvzdanie som spoznala ďaľších členov mojej hostrodiny, hostbrata študujúceho na univerzite v Bostone, starých rodičov, strýka...
Taktiež som ochutnala tradičné jedlá, samozrejme moriak, plnka z moriaka, zemiakové pyré, sladké zemiaky s marshmallows...

At thanksgiving I met other members of my host family, my hostbrother going to college in Boston, grandparents, uncle and cousins.

I have also tried traditional thanksgiving dishes, turkey of course, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes with marshmallows...

Global Fusion

Dnes sa uskutočnila akcia Global fusion. Je to vlastne večera, kde môžu ľudia vyskúšať jedlá z rôznych krajín. Podávajú sa mini porcie, aby mohlo každý všetko vyskúšať. Všetci študenti cateringu sa museli povinne zúčastniť. Pripravovali sme sa celý týždeň, hľadali recepty, písali zoznam potravín a ku koncu týždňa sme začali s prípravami jedál. V piatok sme celý deň varili, boli sme dokonca ospravedlnení z vyučovania. Boli sme rozdelený asi do 10 skupín, každá skupina pripravila 4 typické jedlá pre nejakú krajinu. Moja skupinka varila Mexické jedlá. Podávali sme mini tacos, tortilla chips, ovocný šalát-tajin a ako dezert empanadas-pečené pirohy s jablkovou plnkou.

Today an event called Global fusion took place at my school. It is a dinner where people can try food from different countries. We served tiny portions, so everybody could try everything. All the students who are taking catering class had to participate. We had been preparing all week, looking for recipes, making grociery list and towards the end of the week we started to prepare the food. On Friday we cooked all day long, we were even excused from our other classes. We were split into approximately ten groups. Every group made four meals typical of a particular country. My group cooked mexican food. We prepared mini tacos, tortilla chips, tajin-fruit salad and for dessert, empanadas, which are apple filled turnovers.

Musical
Úžasný muzikál na našej škole. Účinkovali naozaj vynikajúci herci a speváci, človek by neveril akú dobrú úroveň má školské divadlo.

Great musical at our school. I would not have imagined, how great the students singers and actors could be. 

Biliard, hike, catering, ducks game, ice skating, concert

Speaking slovak after a while
Maťo z môjho slovenského Rotary klubu prišiel do Eugene, a tak sme sa dohodli, že sa stretneme. Keďže pršalo zahrali sme si biliard v zábavnom centre. Rozprávať po slovensky po dlhom čase bol celkom zvláštny pocit. 

Maťo from my slovak Rotary club came to Eugene, so we arranged a meeting. Since it was raining, we went to play pool at an entertainment centre. It felt very wierd to speak slovak after such a long time.

Hike to Spencer view 

Spolu s Heather a jej psom sme sa vybrali na turistiku-Spencer view. Je to krátka turistika priamo v Eugene. V lese bolo mnoho ľudí, aj psov. Ako som si všimla domáce zvieratá sú tu veľmi populárne. Z kopca bol pekný výhľad na Eugene a okolité vrchy. 

My friend Heather took me on a hike to Spencer view. It is a small hike directly in Eugene. It was quite crowded, a lot of people brought their dogs on a hike. From the top there was a nice view of our town.

Catering
Keďže potrebujem nazbierať dobrovoľnícke hodiny na hodinu cateringu, dnes som ostala po škole pomáhať. Varili sme večeru pre rozlúčkovú oslavu školského volejbalového tímu. (na áčko je potrebných 10 dobrovoľníckych hodín za trimester, mne chýba ešte 5 a to sa trimester už blíži ku koncu)

Today I stayed after school to help in the catering class. We cooked dinner for the school volleyball team. They were celebrating the end of the season.

Another Ducks game

Rotarián Ritch nás s Harukou (výmennou študentkou z Japonska) zobral na futbal. Bola to posledná hra sezóny, ktorá sa konala v našom meste. Náš tím Oregon Ducks nemal veľmi úspešnú sezónu, a tak nikoho neprekvapilo, že opäť prehral.

Ritch took me and Haruka (an exchange student from Japan) to a football game. It was the last game of this season, that took place in Eugene. For the Oregon Ducks the season was very unsuccessful, therefore no one was suprised that they lost.
