Day 13: Thursday February 2nd

Today we had a plan to cook dinner. I had just found out that there was going to be a cooking competition for the best meal of the week, so I got super into it and our team was determined to win! We decided to have a grand american classic. Burgers. So we went off to the market.

We got ground beef for the burgers and black beans for the hippie burgers. We also got basil and tomato and cheese to make a caprese salad. Then we decided to do a chocolate cake for dessert. We also got about 50 potatoes to make potato wedges.

After prepping everything, around 5 I began grilling the burgers on the outside grill. It was so hot and smoky that my eyes were watering the whole time. I was surprised I even had any tears left because I had been chopping and carmelizing onions the entire day and crying because of that.

Once the burgers were done, we served everyone and with our grilled pineapple and carmelized onion toppings we were sure that we had won the competition. But the earlier nights were incredible delicious as well so we'll see...
