This week’s assignment for Product, Packaging and Promotion was to come up with 4 different concepts for our Match booklets and well as create mock ups for how the pieces are to be built. I built three different shapes of books and boxes. One book takes the shape of a pizza and the other is just a traditional square shaped book. My next design is shaped like a pizza box to fix with the main food of the restaurant and the last one is a cylindrical shaped box.

Ingredients
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, chopped
2 cups long-grain rice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 to 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Juice of 3 limes and zest of 2 limes (hold back juice of 1 lime for garnish)
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
Directions
Watch how to make this recipe.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the rice and salt. Cook over a low heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly to make sure the rice doesn’t burn. Add 2 cups of the broth and the juice and zest of 2 limes and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the rice is done. Add more liquid as needed. The rice shouldn’t be sticky.
Just before serving, stir through the juice of 1 lime and lots of chopped cilantro.

Last Friday during Sustainable Systems, the class objective was to find a few items and categorize them under the following: our favorite food/plant, a food we have never tried before, and a food/plant we have never even heard of. I walk by the farmer’s market almost everyday when I go to school. I even walked through the market a few times by myself. For some reason this time it was different.
Usually when I go I just browse and breeze pass the items vendors are selling without really thinking much about it. Maybe because this time I had a task at hand I found myself more indulged in getting to know what the market had to offer. This time I really appreciated each item and jumped from stand to stand, excited to see what I could find. Suddenly, I was wishing for more time to try some new items as well as some familiar ones. I think the limited time even made me appreciate what was there even more.
I love raspberries. They reminded me of when I was younger and used to dip them in syrup every night.
My favorite plant became a Sunflower ever since I worked on a painting project with them during my senior year of high school.
It’s funny how sometimes something you never even heard of can easily become one of your new favorite things. I don’t remember what this flower is, but it reminds of very whimsical events.
There are so many types of variations for lettuce I have never heard of before, including the Mesclun Bouquet.
I have heard of people eating ostrich before, but I don’t think I am planning on trying it anytime soon. Although it did look interesting and I was so surprised when I saw the eggs being sold.
