Food Assignment # 7

One of my favorite chinese food is "fried rice." Fried rice is a common part of any chinese meal. It is prepared with steamed rice that is tossed in the work with any topping you like. So, in order for me to bring it into class and actually let my teacher try it, i will only add rice, scrambled eggs, green peas, carrots, corn and onions. Cus, my teacher is a vegegians, so i dont want to add any types of meat. It is pretty easy to make fried rices. First, i will cook the rice which takes like 10-15 minutes. While waiting, i will chop the carrot into pieces, mix the egg together, cut the onion, wash the corns and carrots. Next i will fried the egg. Then i will just pour all my recipes including the rices onto the pried pan and just work it from there. I will add a little bit of soy sauce if i have too. Then add half a cup of cold water then just mix it. Wait for 10minutes, until there is smoke coming out from the cover. Finally, i will put it on a plastic bowl and bring it to my teacher to show him i did his assignemt.

Reguarly, my parent will add ham, spam, lettuce, onions, peas, onto the rice. That's how my parent like it and Andy if you like my recipe, you should try my dad's cooking. This recipe for me is easy to make. i learned it from watching my parent cooking. And sometimes, when i am home with my brother, i will make it for him.

*picture unavaiable - - but i will bring it into class and let you(andy) see it.

The Omnivore's Dilemma

I agree with Michael Pollan of how people are trying to find out what types of foods are best for them. Most americans today listen to what experts has to say about foods and what to eat and not to eat to stay healthy. I total agree with this issues about americans being worried about the foods they eat. today, a lot of americans are reading newspaper, watching the news, and listening to radio about what foods are best for them. People listen to what experts has to say about foods but should we trust them? Personal, i agree with these experts that foods damage your heart and i seem many people trying to be fit and going to the gym to lose weight.

For myself. i didnt understand the concept or the reason why i should stay healthy. Back then when i was a little kid i will spend at least 3 dollars on a soda and 3 bags of chips. i didnt know that junk foods can really damage your body of being fat. i didnt understand how foods can harm you but right now as a teenager, i know that putting any foods in your mouth can either hurt you or help you. I weight around 160ish and when the doctor run some tests on me, i didnt like what i see. i decided to eat less fooods and only eat healthy food. when i ahve time, i will go swimming or play ball. I remember when i was in middle school i was like overweighted and i like this girl. LOL but this girl wasnt interested in a person like me. i started to go swimming and play ball to lose weight. i lost a lot and i ahve to maintain that routine of working out. Everytime i pass a fast food resturant, my heart starts to pump and i will go inside and get something to eat, but overall when i see the calories, i will head to subway. Right now, at my neighborhood, a grand opening mc. donald is not makign that many money becuase not many people are willing to eat fat foods. each time i feel like eating somethign very unhealthy i will just chew gum or play ball, which helps me a lot.

Grocery Store and Habitual Store

My father does all the shopping. He is a better cooker than my mom and he knows what kind of foods to make us happy. But of course, he doesnt worry about health conditions, he thinks that food is a source to make us happy. Most likely he will go to chinese store around 8 avenue to buy groceries. Whatever my dad see that make himself have a good full dinner, he will eventually buy like 10 bags. He mostly buy all types of meats and vegetable to cook. he doesnt give a crap whether the food is healthy or not, but when me and my dad run some test about our health, my mom started to become the shopper. My dad and i have to eat healthy foods because we arent eating any nutrients food. My mom started to shop and buy healthy foods, such as fish, chicken breast, fruits, and a lot of different chinese vegetables. My mom will look at the label if the foods is healthy or not. She is very serious about being healthy and she buy a lot of fruits.

I learned that eating unhealthy foods makes people feel very happy but it will hurt your heart and body. It is very important to be eating clean healthy foods that gives you energy and nutrients. i didnt listen to my mom about eating healthy foods but when my doctor run some tests on me, i began to eat healthy food. My mom told me that if you want to eat junk food so bad, think about my grandma. She dies because she was very unhealthy. Every night we have to eat some fruits and drink soup before we start having dinner. This is a rule my mom made up because this helps us to eat less foods. Foods can make people happy, but you have to know whether the food makes you healthy or not.

May Dayyyyyyyyy

May Day? What is May Day? I never heard of it until i realized i need to write 3 paragraphs about it. i asked my parents if they know what is May Day and they respond back saying May is a month. Yeah! of course i know May is a month, but why will Andy tell us to write about it. I dont know shit about it. I started to research what is May day and it turn out to be a holiday. May Day is celebrated in many places around the world. The traditions and stories surrounding May Day from place to place. This celebration is the use of flowers!

How is this holiday spread around the world when i dont see american celebrates this holiday? It also show that when you have a basket full of flower or gift, you give it to someone without telling them and that person will have a best of luck. This holiday is so weird and i will like to study more about this tradition. Maybe i should get some flowers and give it to my neightbors and see how they react.
