Food Memoir
Baked Cereal Crunchy Chicken Eating it as soon as it gets out of the oven is an amazing experience. The elation increased inside me as soon as I started to smell the juicy baked chicken. Suddenly, it feels like a irresistible need to grab a bite of it right away. Obviously you can’t resist it, so you cut a piece of it and eat it. The crunchy sensation of the baked cereal all around the chicken is wonderful, but not only the texture felt good, the gooey of the sugar that comes with the cornflake make it taste like glory. The sweet mixed with the salt of the seasonings is an incredible party inside the mouth. Adding a delicious bowl of baked potatoes with béchamel sauces makes the dish even better. I always love to cook and be creative while cooking; preparing different kind of dishes with different seasons, all natural most of the time. Cooking is not about following recipes and going by the cooking book. Instead it’s about being able to mix different seasonings to create the perfect taste. The history behind this invention comes from the lack of resources to prepare a decent dish. It was a quite night like tonight, listening to John Mayer and my roommate and I were really hungry. Then we looked at the refrigerator and cabinets to see what we could cook but we only found chicken, tomatoes, garlic, salt and pepper. Having all those seasons and been tired of eating grill chicken I decided to make it baked crunchy chicken, but sadly there wasn’t any ground bread and I figured it out late so the only thing that I could use was the cereal. So that is how it happened, a happy mistake. I used cornflakes instead of bread crumbs for the baked chicken.
At the time I started to prepare the chicken, two girls came in looking for us. They reaction was priceless; they screamed “Oh my god! You guys are crazy!” at us. My roommate after he laughed for few seconds he told them that it was going to taste good and that they will want me to cook for them after they taste it. The

    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…

I couldn't believe it, without any exercise! People say oh you can't do that, but you can! You simply have to eat the RIGHT foods! 60% carbs isn't for us!

But anyways if you want to learn how to eat the correct macros and learn to lose weight without worry, then this is for you! Ooh you have to give up some things! But tell yourself YOU'RE WORTH IT!

    My ears ring as the old school bus screeches to a halt. We hop off and a dry, winter gust smacks my face. Instantly, my stuffy nose runs. I grasp the cold metal handle of the school door, open it, and slam a piece of wood underneath to keep it ajar. After we become accustomed to the cold shock, Mrs. Cimenski, our director, orders us to haul the heavy wooden tables and a set of four lockers toward our designated area backstage. We struggle through multiple doors and long curtains until we reach our destination. The first aid kit mends our minor cuts and bruises created in the process. Gathering our senses, we collect the makeup and costumes and begin a brisk walk to the classroom assigned to us. The first performance is in an hour and a half,…

    In Defense of Food was quite shocking at first. In all honesty, it made me think I was going to die within the next week due to a heart attack triggered by all the junk I eat. Considering I myself indulge in processed cookies from the aisles of Stop and Shop, and steak tips that have been marinating in salt for two days, the film hit close to home. But in all honesty, I don’t eat that bad; in comparison to the Seventh-Day Adventists I do, but I think I’m doing alright.…

    The first perspective is of a carnivore’s. The taste of meat is one of many things in life that you can’t just recreate and expect it to have the same taste as the original. It has a unique taste and texture that only the mastication of flesh in between your teeth can satisfy. The tenderness, juiciness, and taste is what leaves people wanting more. Speaking from my past love for meat those were all the reasons I was head over heels in love with it. Although after I learned what these poor creatures have to endure for me enjoy such a delicacy I became a vegetarian. Some meat eaters know about what goes on in factory farms and how their food is processed but they continue to enjoy their consumption of meat. Although it is a good source of protein…

    One of the worse thing I have been through was my own foolish choice. I moved to Detroit to do food activism and make a permaculture homestead. I did not have wealthy family members to ask for help or a degree that would have gotten me a job. The soil was damaged enough that some areas you could only eat from raised gardens. It was not as advertised. It was like trying to do peace corps with no support system or even police. I ended up suicidal and starting myself because the food stamps office just laughed at me and told me to go back to Iowa.…

    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. The restaurant politely greeted us as we walked up to the cashier. We began to order, our order was six chicken fingers, two Texas toasts, two sauces, a side of fries and a lemonade. Without assistance, we found a booth and sat down. It took a couple of…

    This is the most recent cooking video that I made. I made the cooking video around eight clocks in the morning since I needed something to eat for breakfast. I looked around the house to see what ingredients we have. I found some cornmeal and I thought maybe I can make some breakfast muffins. I decided to make corn bread muffins because it is fast and easy. From there on I decided to add some fresh berries inside to make it more like breakfast food. Once it is baked, we can serve them with butter and syrup. Later when I edited the video, I decide to put Chinese subtitle on too, since my relatives in china want to see my cooking video. Instead editing the video with iMovie this time, I tried out a different video editor called Videoshop.…

    My experience with taste aversion occurred when I went to EFSC to get my AA. I ate coleslaw and grapes prior to a night class and later on during the class I had an extremely bad migraine to the point where I could barely pay attention to what my professor was saying which led to me vomiting in the restroom. I didn’t have coleslaw ever since.…

    This essay seeks to critically evaluate Delaney's (2010: 259) assertion that "food categories also correlate with social categories." In order to evaluate this claim, it is therefore necessary to explain what it means. In addition, the evaluation of this claim, in an anthropological context, needs be conducted through the research method of an ethnography of a meal. My argument will use the ethnographic experience of a Shabbat meal with David Horowitz's family to assess this assertion and whether it could be applied and verified through the interactions which occurred around food at this meal.…
