This November, while we were visiting my grandmother at Cape Cod, my dad and I made a delicious dinner in the style of Redwall. We looked at different recipes and decided on Lemon and Butter Trout, along with some October Ale to drink. We did not have access to trout so we bought fresh Cod. We began by cutting open the fish and sliding slices of butter inside the slot. Once the butter was inside the fish, we cut one of out two lemons in half, squeezed one half onto the fish for lemon juice, and laid the second half neatly on top of the fish in thin slices.
As I look at this picture, it makes me think about the time I took responsibility for my little cousins. This picture was taken the day I took cousins to Chuck E Cheeses for the first time. My family lives in Oregon, but my extended family lives in California, all around the Bay Area that’s where my family is from there too. While I like Oregon, I try to find any excuse to visit California. So two years ago during spring break, my sister and I decided to go to California.
Soup Joumou I woke up to a text message from my mother with precise instructions on where to purchase all the groceries for this year’s Soup Joumou. When I arrived at my local supermarket, I took out my phone to look at the grocery list that my mother sent me, I walked up and down the various aisles, and was at the super market for an exhaustingly long two hours. I collected 2 cloves of garlic, 2 scallions who had already been sliced. I also got dried thyme, one medium sliced shallot, 1 scotch bonnet chili, already stemmed and seeded, I got lime juice, of course I wouldn’t hear the end of it If I forgot the salt and pepper.
My stomach interrupted my thinking. Sighing, I opened a jar and took out some salted fish. I put down some fish for Tiger. She let out a meow of appreciation as we began to eat. Thump.
Hi LeeMarie! I can 't believe you 're returning tomorrow! Can you teach me to surf in 4 days!? I 've only tried it a few times and I was NEVER able to stand up, but I 'm going to give it my best shot in El Nido! Your trip sounds like it warrants few "amazings" :) Especially the surf town.
Meet my Jazz band. This is a picture of us in New Orleans my junior year during spring break to play Jazz. I decided upon this picture because this band has had such a profound impact on how I frame my future. My connection with music through the piano has been fostered ever since I could reach those shiny black and white collection of keys. Starting at the age of four, playing the classical music of Mozart and Bach was what my musical background was founded upon, with tangible medals and accomplishments as achievements.
Food is either elegant or inelegant but, either way it is essential to human life. David Gelb’s documentary, “Jiro Dreams of Sushi” and Agnes Varda’s documentary, “The Gleaners and I” take two very different approaches on the topic of food. Gelb’s debut film focuses more on the elegant style of food, while Varda’s film focuses on the inelegant side of food. Gelb’s film focuses on the Sushi chef Jiro and why he is considered the best. His film gives close ups to show the detail and work put in to the preparation of sushi.
A trip to Racine, WI. Each time I got lost in the city, I said "I don 't want to go to Wisconsin. By this meant "I don 't want to get lost. " I had no idea, God would open a way for me to really experience going to Wisconsin and be hosted by an incredible person. It was an extraordinary time at the place where I visited, just can 't post pictures of that place, due to high security
My life is like a song you can play me over and over again, you can get tired of me or never get tired of me, but don't make me mad I will explode on you. My life is like the song Monster by Skillet because I never let u see the secret side of me I keep it caged but I can't control it so stay away from me the beast is ugly, I feel the rage and i just can't hold it.
The day my district manager ask if I’d be interested in working in Salt Lake City to train new workers for the restaurant I was working at was a strange day for me. It happened when I was eighteen years old, I’d had to drop out of High School to support myself, as my parents had died a few months before my seventeenth birthday. My much older brothers weren’t really willing to support me, so I’d began working at a seafood Restaurant at sixteen. I quickly was made assistant manager and was on track to becoming the manager of my own store.
For my second experiential learning assignment, I decided to break a social norm while going out to eat with my family at a restaurant: granted this is something I have a habit of doing but the reaction I got from my dining mates was particularly interesting this time. To give a little bit of background of the setting I was in at the time, I was with my mother, younger brother, and my mother’s friend at a restaurant in DC for my birthday dinner. The restaurant was crowded, but not many people were paying attention to what we were doing. The behavior I decided to break was dipping my fingers in the container caramel was in and then proceeded lick my fingers after doing so. I choose to break this social norm because one, the caramel sauce was really good, and two I was testing to see if my mother would say anything: normally on my birthday she lets me get away with
I am really thankful that you were able to meet with me on such short notice. It was also great to talk about the personality test results and learn how much a person fluctuates between the different characteristics. Other than that, I was surprised to see you at Jai Wolf and I hope you had as much fun as I
My phone lit up and it said it was only four o’clock. None of us were hungry, but as soon as I saw the Chinese Buffet I could see the steam rising from the Veggie Lo Mien causing me to drool. The smell wafting out of the restaurant as we pulled into the parking lot. Right when we walked in I went straight to the buffet I couldn’t wait any longer. Two heaping plates full Veggie Lo Mien and at the top a crab puff, yum!
As I entering Daybreak Diner with my aunt and uncle we sit in the sixth booth from the door and the waiter comes up and hands us our menus. I look through and I decide that I want a unsweet tea and some french toast with pear jelly. My aunt starts ordering the same thing and my uncle orders biscuits and gravy with a coffee. The lady takes our orders and goes to the chef and starts screaming our orders to him. She comes back and hands our food to us.
Before beginning my 24 hour fast, I was mostly concerned about the idea of being hungry and how I would cope with that because I love food. I was doubting my ability to successfully make it through the day without faltering. For my week long fast, I was worried about keeping up to date about what was going on in my friends’ lives. I was worried I would miss out on things that everyone else got to experience through social media. I was also concerned with how I would spend my time without social media because if I am being honest, most of my time that is not spent on homework or with my family is spent on my phone.
