La Poesía de la Comida

Hello this is a project about food odes and how to write Spanish. We did it so that we could work on writing Spanish for foods measuring tools and odes.

Joshua Riding, Basic Tress Leeches Cake, Panama
Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups cake flour -1 ½ tazas harina de postre
1 pinch salt – 1 pizca de sal
1 teaspoon baking powder – 1 curcharilla polvo de hornear
1/3 cup oil – 1/3 taza aciete
1 cup sugar – 1 taza azucar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract – 1 cucharilla de vainilla
5 large eggs – 5 grande huevo
1/2 cup whole milk – ½ taza leche
Cream Syrup for Soaking (see recipe below)
Whipped Topping (see recipe below)
Preparation:

Combine flour and baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the oil, sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add the eggs to the sugar mixture one at a time until well combined. Stir in the 1/2 cup of milk, then gently fold in the flour mixture a little at a time.
Pour batter into a lightly greased cake pan or baking dish and bake at 325 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until it feels firm and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cake cool until it feels room temperature. Turn it over onto a platter with raised edges. Pierce cake with a fork 20-30 times. Let it cool in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes.

Cream Syrup

12 oz. evaporated milk – evaporarse leche
14 oz. sweetened condensed milk – azucarar condensada leche
1/2 cup heavy cream – ½ taza pesado crema
Whisk together the three milks and the rum or brandy if you are using it. Slowly pour the liquid over the cooled cake. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Occasionally, spoon the milk runoff back onto the cake.

Whipped Topping

3/4 cup heavy cream  - ¾  taza pesado crema
1 teaspoon vanilla – 1 cucharilla vainilla
1 tablespoon sugar – 1 una cucharada azucar
In a chilled mixing bowl add heavy cream, vanilla and sugar. Beat on high speed until peaks form. Spread a thin layer over the cake.

Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or garnish with fresh berries.
1.       Add the dry ingredients to a medium bowl and mix them up until well incorporated.
2.       Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees. Mix the wet ingredients together on high speed until they become thoroughly mixed and somewhat frothy. This usually takes about 2 minutes. After they are nice and frothy, slowly stir in the milk and oil.
3.       On low speed, mix the flour mixture into the egg mixture 1/4 cup at a time to maintain as much of the frothiness that you have whipped into the sugar and eggs as you can.
4.       Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 baking pan. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
5.       After the cake has cooled to room temperature, poke the cake all the way through, repeatedly with a fork or toothpick. If a cake residue from the top of the cake builds up on the fork, wipe it off every so often.
6.       In a bowl, whisk together the three milk's to until they are evenly mixed. The sweetened condensed milk is very thick and has a tendency to sink to the bottom, so use a scraper on the bottom if you want to check to see that everything is mixed properly. It may seem like a lot of liquid, but most of it will absorb into the cake.
Cream syrup
7.       Pour the milk mixture over the cooled cake. It will seem like a lot of liquid, and that is okay. Sometimes the cake will loosen from the pan and float in it. Cover the cake and refrigerate it for a minimum of three hours, but overnight is best.
8.       After the cake has had plenty of time to soak, the liquid should be 85-95% absorbed. If it has only soaked for 3 or 4 hours and there is still way to much liquid, it may just need more time to soak. The cake shown was soaked overnight and very little liquid is left
9.       On high speed, mix together the ingredients for the whipped topping until the cream forms stiff peaks. You can frost the cake in the pan, or you can invert the cake onto a serving platter with raised edges (to prevent the milk syrup from running off.) Spread a layer of whipped topping evenly over the cake. You can serve it immediately, or cover, and return the refrigerator for up to 12 hours, at which point the whipped topping may begin to break down.

Ode to three milk cake                                                Oda al pastel de tres leches
By Joshua Riding                                                            Por Adrian Iglesias
Three milk cake the summer to my winter
Cream with a hidden secret under it
A sponge soaked in beauty
Creamy like clouds of life
A pond forming at every touch
Pond of cream

Sweet like sugarcane
Smell of sweet summer air
Smell of a dandelion flower at first bloom
A cloud with a wet sponge in it
A Pandora’s box filled with beauty

A piece of treasure covered with cream
Sponge being squeezed of its water
Sweet like cream
Three milk cake
I love like the sun that never sets

The sweet sponge of the world
My sunrise to the worlds sunset

El pastel de tres leches el verano a mi invierno
Crema con  secreto un oculto debajo
Una esponja remojada en belleza
Cremoso como nubes de vida
Una laguna formando a cada toque
Laguna de crema

Dulce como cana de azúcar
Olor del dulce aire de verano
Olor de un diente de león al primer flor
Una nube con una esponja húmeda
Una caja pandora de llena de belleza

Un pedazo de tesoro cubierto con crema
La esponja siendo apartado de su agua
Dulce como crema
Pastel de tres leches
Amo como el sol que nunca se pone

La esponja dulce del mundo
Mi salida del sol del mundo puesta del Sol





I learned a lot of things translating my recipe especially how words kind of look like their English words and others look nothing like it. My ode writing it i saw a lot of things with going over the top and how to just sell the food that we were making in a great way. Now the place that i got my recipe from was panama i found out small things about them like how they have tons of different cultures into their food.The food it was fun it was what i would say as easy to make milkshake because it tastes like a milkshake and it is very easy to make.

Arte y Lengua

This was our Spanish project which was about art and being able to explain art in Spanish. What we did was start out first picking an artist that we were interested in painting like and one that we had connection to in some way. Then we started to make our pieces of art now we had to make it in someway close to our artists art that we based it on. Then the description which was very hard being that i don't speak Spanish as my first language or write in Spanish with had a hard time with this but we had to describe our piece saying what our connections were and why we chose this artist and what colors etc.



Declaración del Artista

Joshua Riding

Mi mentor es Juan Gris. Escojo a este artista por su apariencia mecánica. Mi artista fue un dibujante mecánico, así los Colores y estilos mecánicos caracterizan las obras de Juan Gris. Tú puedes reconocer las obras de Juan Gris por su estilo mecánico. Mi artista nació en Madrid. Él estudió ingeniería en Madrid. Mi artista nació el 11 de mayo en 1927en Boulogne-sur-Seine, Francia.

Uso temas mecánicos por la apariencia de la textura. Una conexión que tengo con mi mentor es la apariencia de un dibujo de un ingeniero. Conecto a mi mentor por la apariencia de sus pinturas. Copio su uso de estilo mecánico. Pinto con colores oscuro porque Juan gris pinta así.

 Mi obra es un dibujo. Mi obra tiene muchos colores. Uso unas imágenes de un libro y él tema de una apariencia mecánica y texturas mecánicas. Dibujo un libro con su estilo y sus colores oscuros. Pongo un dragón en mi obra a mostrar mis lados diferentes. El dragón es dividió en pedazos diferentes uno con un fuego, uno con plantas, uno con la tierra, uno con agua, y uno con aire todos Los elementos de la vida.


What i learned from this project is how art is very much in each language whether spanish or german and it is interesting to have them both being used to show something. But what i would do next time is take better care of my project because my first one not here had an unfortunate accident, i would change that i had a better project instead of the one you see in the picture above.
