Barbeque: Descriptive writing including person, place, object, and/or event and the 5 senses if possible.
It was the Holy month of Ramadan, this is when Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. Every dinner is to be special but today I was craving something different. My wife Angela was starting to get dinner ready when she asked what would I like for dinner. I wasnt sure, but earlier that day I was working in the garage and I happened to walk by the barbeque grill and I thought to my self I wouldnt mind a burger so I told my wife lets barbeque.

I started to get everything ready I cleaned the makeshift barbeque grill, (its really a Home Depot style fire pit). I blew out the ashes from the past barbeque we had. I set the bricks along the bottom of the pit. I started to gather up small twigs from around the yard and set them into a small pile in the pit. I doused them with lighter fluid it makes the fire burn easier at the beginning. After I placed the small twigs in the pit I poured the Kingsford charcoal on top of the twigs placed them into a small pile and doused them with lighter fluid too and let them soak in for about tens minutes. Finally I was about to light the fire, I lit the match and bent over to place it at the bottom of the pit when POP it blew up in my face, I was o.k. but I singed a few facial hairs non-the less the fire was burning.

My wife brought out the hamburgers patties and the grill had a violent red-hot glow. I put the first few patties on the grill and watched them sizzle from the red hot charcoals underneath, after a couple of minutes the water and juices was starting to seep through from the top of the burger patties, thats a sign that its time to flip them over. As I flipped the patties over, the fire burned in a mad rage because of the juices and fat dripping onto the scorching coals and the smoke filling the surrounding air I put a slice of cheese on each patty. The smell was better than ever because I havent eaten all day watching the meat slowly grilling and the smoke bellowing into my face the smell was so inviting and tempting but I had

    I remember the one day, it was early in the morning and I was going to my basketball game. We stopped to help this lady get home by giving her a ride.

Once the deer crossed the road, we were finally off to the game, we made it to the game with time to spare. With the time we had to spare I had some biscuits and gravy, and i devoured them in seconds and had some orange juice after.…

    Delicious cuisine is definitely something the whole world is interested in, and a person’s taste for food can often reveal his lifestyle, personality, and even status. In Geoffrey Chaucer’s Prologue to The Canterbury Tales, we can learn about the Franklin’s hospitality and hedonistic lifestyle through Chaucer’s portrait of the Franklin’s refined love of exquisite cuisine. Through his lofty diction, use of poetic devices, and imagery, Chaucer revealed the Franklin’s love for pure food, hospitality, purity, and honorable actions. Chaucer cleverly unveiled the Franklin's personality, social status, and lifestyle through his vivid description of the Franklin and use of metaphor and allusion. Living in the Medieval time period, during which delicious cuisine was precious and scarce due to the lack of resources, a person’s appearance could tell us a lot about his or her lifestyle and social status without speaking a word. Chaucer must have similar ideas about a person’s appearance, for he has dedicated many lines to describe the Franklin's appearance, which can lead us to fathom his eating habit, wealth and even his personality. “As white as,” Chaucer writes, “any daisy shone his beard;”(312) White is also associated with purity and nobility, and the fact that his beard is as white and shiny as a beautiful flower suggests that the Franklin loves pure things, specifically pure and prime food. Moreover, Franklin’s “sanguine complexion” suggests that is very healthy, unlike the pale faces of poor, malnourished people. His reddish face is also a result of his hedonistic lifestyle, for he loves to drink wine everyday. Chaucer goes on to emphasize the Franklin‘ hedonistic lifestyle: “Always to pleasure would his custom run, for he was Epicurus’ own son”(315). Epicurus is a Greek philosopher who taught that happiness is the goal of life; Chaucer’s use of allusion makes it clear that the Franklin has inherited his love of overindulgence from his “father”, who thinks that…

    As they watched, a flash of fire appeared at the root of one wisp, and then the smoke thickened.” (Golding, 44). When Ralph had announced to the group that they should make a signal fire to grab the attention of nearby passersby on the water, everyone saw this as an amazing opportunity of escape from the island they are all prisoned upon. Due to this hope they all of a sudden had in their hearts, they headed straight up the mountain, in a scramble to make a signal fire, with no plan in mind. In result of this, all the boys ran around like a crew of panicking pyromaniacs, in search for any combustible item they could obtain. They as well carelessly grabbed Piggy’s glasses off his face, then focused the sunlight on it, in hopes magnify enough heat to ignite a fire. In result such a disorganized fashion, not only was this fire a failure, but the spark indeed also transferred onto the nearby greenery, resulting in the forest consisting of palm trees to catch on fire. Soon enough, this forced the entire forest to be burned down to the ground, which shows the consequence to making a fire in such a messy manner. The elimination…

    I gazed up into the bleak morning sky and viewed the wafts of smoke, anything to take my mind off what was to come. The sound of the landing craft’s engines revved up indicating we were on our final approach. I gripped my Thompson and carefully glanced over it. The functionality of this gun could mean life or death for me and so it received my dearest attention. Suddenly the ear shattering sound of the big .50 caliber machine gun opened up on our boat. Immediately thereafter, the screech of a whistle permeated the air, and the front of the boat began lowering.…

    This 4th of July, I invited my best friend Sara and her husband for a dinner at my house. For dinner we decided to bake chicken and lamb chops with side dish of potato egg salad, spicy garlic broccoli rabe, radish and chive edamame salad. For dessert, ice-cream and brownies and some red wine to drink. Sara volunteered to get potato egg salad and wine as I took the responsibility to cook the rest of the meals. I knew I only had a couple of hours before the dinner so I started cooking early. I marinated the meat and put the meat in the oven to bake and started working on the side dish. In 85 minutes, I was done with all my cooking. I quickly went upstairs, took a shower, got dressed and came downstairs just in time to welcome…

    It's a long day at Phoenix College, I was exhausted and needed some sleep. I was also starving because I missed breakfast and didn't have any snacks throughout the day. So I eventually decided to go eat with my girlfriend due to my hunger and my need for company. My girlfriend and I went to Cane's Raising Chicken Finger further late that evening. When we got to the restaurant we rushed inside because it was furiously burning hot outside as we wanted to avoid the heat as much as possible.

Without assistance, we found a booth and sat down. It took a couple of…

    Rocketing across the water, the beach and sky blur into one. But in my mind everything is still, even calm in fact. My eyes dart around. I see men. Pain and panic fill their eyes. Some tremble as if catching a fever. Other soldiers clutch on to their weapons as if gripping onto their mother’s hand when learning how to walk. Some soldiers drink from their canteens, as if it’s the last drink to enter their bodies. I feel my heart race, blood pump through my veins. The Captain yells, “30 seconds! Good luck, men. May God be with you and I’ll see you on the beach!”…

    The best part of the day had arrived, dinner. We had a reservation at the pier in which we were going to eat dinner. We looked like a whole bunch of bees ready to attack. The food was there. Right in front of our noses. We could feel the presence of the warmth coming from the food. The smell was just making our mouths water and our tummies rumble. We looked at each other with such eagerness to have some of those explicit desserts in our mouths. There we were, with our food served and ready to attack. I knew that when I was done with this food there was no longer going to be any space for the dessert. Overall the food was amazing and the experience as well.…

    Usually by the time I get home from work and picking up the kids, it is late and I do not feel like taking the time to actually cook a meal. One evening we got home earlier than we usually do so I decided to fix dinner, sit down and actually eat as a family. I can remember myself standing in front of the stove thinking of the frustrating long day of work I had, getting aggravated because the kids were running around the house. The kids were playing and being loud which is what a 4 year old boy and 4 year old girl would do. Then it suddenly becomes quiet and Patrick comes to me and says “Mommy, you know what?” I say with an annoyed tone of voice “What Patrick?” He says “your superman.” I picked him up and gave him a big hug. In that moment I realized that out of all that has happened to me in my life, I am truly grateful that I have my children and that I am actually a better person because God brought them into my life.…
