On a cold, winter day, i was excited for cooking for the first time. I went downstairs to where my mum was, waiting for me in the kitchen. I put on the blue worned apron and washed my hands thoroughly in the sink.
“You ready?”asked mum.
“Yes!” I replied excitedly.
My mum took out the ingredients. ‘Lettuce, cucumber, ham, rice’. That was what i could identify from the bunch of ingredients
“So today, we will be making fried rice as your first dish ever,” my mum explained
My mum then put the pan on the fire which had been set on before and poured oil into the pan. Now it was finally my turn to show off my skills at cooking. I cleaned the cucumber and diced it into small pieces. Immediately after that, I poured all the cucumber squares into
First, Even though it was cold, I took of the jacket during lunch and played kickball in a thin shirt, my arms feeling like braille from goosebumps. But when i returned to class i slipped the jacket on and shivered until i was warm. I sat on my hands, heating them up,while my teeth chattered liked a cup of crooked dice. Finally warm, I slid out of the jacket but a few minutes later put it back on when the fire bell rang. We paraded out into the yard where we,the sixth graders, walked
Literary Analysis “He knew his father yelled now and then, but usually he yelled for a good reason, and all he had done was hold on to the carrot sticks. He was sure he had held them at dinner before.” -Adam Bagdasarian. This quote from “Carrots” is an excellent example of what the boy feels in the two short stories, “My Side of the Story” and “Carrots”. Not many people think of anger as a serious issue and relate it to being a common part of nature.
The crisp, cool, and cinnamon air filled the morning of Thanksgiving in 1987. Although I was only two years and eleven months old, I remember the scratchy, fuzzy, purple- footed pajamas that I was wearing that morning. After I woke up, I "helped" my mom make her famous orange- cranberry relish, got dressed in my cream sweater dotted with cherries and my navy pleated skirt, topped off with my favorite cream fuzz- warn tights, and before I knew it we were out the door to my grandmother's house. After an early dinner with my grandparents, mom, and dad, my grandfather and dad left to catch the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day football game, leaving the rest of us to find entertainment of our own.
I arrived at my grandma’s house in bewilderment. The smell of flavored pork and freshly made red sauce wafted out of the windows and rose with the sound of laughter. The family was already there: all four of my aunts elbow deep into bowls of chicken, pork, sauces; my cousins and a couple of uncles with rolled up sleeves spreading
The grass was wet and cold. I woke up and Mother was at her new job working for the Barclays Bank and I walked out of my room which was red walls with white carpet. I went down the stairs and walked outside and the grass was wet it had rained that night and I didn’t notice I must've slept through it. It was 10 degrees outside and it made the grass cold and wet. I enjoyed this very much. I laid down and watched the sunset fade away and I felt good laying in the grass. I eventually had to get up and Mother came home for lunch and I had a strawberry milkshake and two clementines. I noticed that Mother was not talking very much and then I saw tears form in her eyes.
Caleb Woodard Professor Brooks, Professor Callard Paradoxes 05/16/24 Fortune and the End of History The Fortune Misfortune paradox is a problem posed by Saul Smilansky, pointing out a difficulty in how we define fortune. The paradox concerns how seemingly misfortunate events can lead to ultimately fortunate circumstances, and vice versa. I believe that an event should be considered a fortune or a misfortune based on its eventual results, rather than immediate ones. While there are some concerns to be raised about this view when the logic is taken to its extremes, I believe my view nevertheless continues to be the most accurate way of referring to fortunes. The Fortunate Misfortune Paradox rests on how seemingly bad events can lead to good outcomes,
Lettuce is considered as the most important fresh-cut vegetable increasingly being market which manufactures attempts to prolongation of storage by controlling or retarding physiological change. The physiological change during storage is basically important problems to greatly affect a quality of commodity such as dehydration and discoloration (wounded tissue so called browning) that are a cause of short shelf-life of product (Lamikanra, 2002). The shelf-life of fresh-cut vegetable is determined by means of visual appearance being crucial of meeting or rather exceeding the consumer expectation as texture, shape, gloss, color and flavor (Kader and Rolle, 2004). Hence, the main cause of quality loss in lettuce leaves, which had effects on acceptability of consumption, can be classified as dehydration and discoloration. Dehydration is the movement of water from leaf to surrounding atmosphere, resulting the reduction of weight loss. Dehydration or water loss is a result of various factors either internal cause; the increase of respiration, cell
The controversial film Bread and Roses of 2000, was directed by Ken Loach. The storyline deals with the struggle of inadequately paid janitors, all around, but mainly focused in Los Angeles. Their fight for higher wages, better working conditions, and the right to unionize. It is based on the “Justice for Janitors” movement of the Service Employees International Union. The main dispute is that these people who are working at low wages, without insurance, vacation, and in bad working conditions are mainly Hispanic.
When I came inside I was so cold that I felt like a ice cube so my mom made me some hot chocolate. The hot chocolate was steaming hot! I had to wait for 8 mins, but it was worth it because it was so tasty and warm. My mom then told me that dinner was done. When I had smelt the delicious dinner mom made, my stomach had roared with hunger and I swear everyone heard it. We had a giant turkey, some mashed potatoes, and mac cheese it was the perfect family dinner, so delicious. When dinner was done, my mom said I had to lay down for school tomorrow so I leaped in my warm, cozy bed and put the covers over me and my mom said “Goodnight.” Man, today just seemed to fly by so quickly with all the excitement I had. As i drifted off to sleep all i could think about was how much fun my day was and I wish every week we had a snow
Imagine you’re in a super market – most likely Tesco, Asda or maybe Aldi – standing in front of the dry food aisle where you see two bags of rice, one of which is boring white rice and not to mention twice the price of the second packet which is a new, healthy, golden rice. The chances are you would take the second bag, why? It’s a good bargain. However, if you were to be told by the sour-faced check-out lady that it was a genetically modified product the chances are you would put it back in disgust and send a complaint stating that the packet of ‘robotic rice’ gave false information as it said it was healthier with more nutrients. Well, you would be completely and utterly wrong. Golden rice along with other genetically modified crops has many exceptional benefits that can boost the plant, the economy and the health of the human race.
Over the years that my mom has made these dishes, I have learned to cook them myself and now I can serve it to my mom when it’s time for
Kale is a vegetable from the brassica family. It is hardy, cooler seasoned plant that grows best in the spring, autumn and winter months (March, April, May, June, July) as it can tolerate frosty weather conditions. Kale produces erect stems with large leaves that are rich in minerals as well as the vitamins A and C. Kale is popular in salads and other healthy food mixes because of its rich content. Although kale is a healthy product, it is not a popular plant to grow unlike other brassicas such as broccoli and cauliflower. Therefore it has a lower production value. This can be seen below in figure 1.
In Genesis 1:29, God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.” From the beginning God has given us food for life. Plants, meats, trees, and fruits are offered to us as a means of sustenance from the very same God who made them long ago.
Finally, we arrived at our destination. I left the car leaving my parents and little brother behind and ran up the steps to my grandma’s house. I just had to be the first one to knock on her door, so I did. She opened the door for me, and I went inside parting with the bitter cold and darkness surrounding me. Inside the house I was immediately encircled with the aromas of her Christmas cooking and baking. A real fresh Christmas tree which was already beautifully adorned with old family ornaments perforated the air with more holiday aromas. I went into the kitchen with my mom, and together we helped my grandma finish preparing the Christmas Eve dinner.
