Forced connection: Food

This week, my team (Sabrina, Dave, me and Akshay) and I did forced connection again. We had to use a few of the food items given to create a new dish/ food item. Our team had many interesting ideas, and we chose "Masala chicken Twisties", something thats new and exotic.

We chose this because it might remind some people of home cooked food, but in the form of a bag of chips. And because masala is so yummy, we made it so that those just craving for a taste of masala chicken but are not actually hungry, we have this more convenient, less filling and greasy way to satisfy the craving for masala chicken.

Reflection on my creative thinking class.

This creative thinking class is something new for me, as I have never attended anything like it. The modules really challenges us to think out of the box and creatively with NO boundaries, and I have to say that this is my favorite class each week, albeit short. This is the class that takes my mind away from the stress of my other modules because I have never once thought that the class was boring, and this is definitely good! I have  learnt how to work with different types of people, and work as a team. Initially most of the teamwork started out more one sided, like, we would separate work and do all each with little discussion. As time went by, me and my usual were getting more and more active in discussions. Without my awesome teammates and lecturer, I wouldn't be having so much fun in lessons and group work! This will be a module that I will never forget, because of all the teamwork, fun challenges and lessons, and I will cherish everything I learnt and experienced from it.
