Ideally meal times should be an enjoyable occasion, which can be used to talk and catch up on the day’s events. For some families meal times can become a battleground where parents are continuously attempting to get their children to eat a good range of food. As a result of this children can sometimes develop food phobias. We need to watch out for children who are becoming distressed by food or worried about what they eat. It is important to stay relaxed during meal times. To help keep the atmosphere relaxed families could try to present food in a different way or involve the children in the preparation. Children may be more likely to try new foods if they have helped to prepare the meal.…
The multifaceted and enigmatic nature of a journey can amend and enhance an individual’s perceptions of themselves and the world around them. It is through the process of journey that ultimately evokes the change and growth within an individual. This is illustrated in Barn Owl and Mother Who Gave Me Life by Gwen Harwood and The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost, through the notions of maturity, regret, and the impact of journeys on the human condition. The extent to which these themes apply is varying to the respective context of the texts. By amalgamating these concepts the authors are able to concoct a universal idea that journeys involve change of some sort whether it be constructive or adverse. The authors have successfully explored these…

Cooking is what separates us from animals. When our ancestors learned the ability to cook the new nutrients allowed them to evolve differently. Cooking not only provided us with much better nutrients but provided us with the means of creating our culture. When we gather with other people and eat together, we share ourselves (Pollan 582). When I first read this article the above statements just clicked with me, it all just made so much sense. I knew that cooking is important but crediting it for mankind’s evolution was new to me. When I read this part of the article I couldn’t help but to imagine a group of Neanderthals eating around a fire, slowly creating their own culture. Cooking is very important to many great cultures and can tell us much about said cultures. My family are big advocates of our Mexican culture so food is definitely very important to us. I’ve eaten with American, Indian, Lebanese, Vietnamese, and Egyptian…

Throughout my childhood, many of my relatives asked me the usual question they ask around, “So what are you going to do when you grow up?” During my childhood, the answer that came without thinking quickly and with confidence: was “A chef” I don’t really know when I wanted to become a chef, but, suddenly there it was. However, many people portend me that a chef would be doctrinaire for me because I was an oblivious person. I wasn’t trenchant when they tried to teach me on how to make different types of food. These words didn’t upset me they were an inverse of what they said, it motivated me to concentrate on what they were erudite me. I took some cooking classes in high school and getting help if needed.…
