...It's that time of year again, pumpkin season! Two wonderful family holidays are just around the corner. Traditionally, we spend Thanksgiving or Christmas (or both) with the family to have a nice holiday dinner. There is always delicious food prepared for dinner, but what's dinner without dessert? The most traditional holiday dessert is pumpkin pie, but how about "spicing" that dessert up a little this year? Well, here's the way to do it, a delicious holiday dessert that the whole family will love and it's quick and easy! The first step in baking, of course, is to gather all the ingredients necessary for the job. Luckily with this dessert, most of what you need, you'll already find in your kitchen. Whatever you don't have, you can just pick up at your local grocery store: 1 can pumpkin, 3 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. ginger, 1/2 tsp. cloves, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 box spiced cake mix, 1 1/2 cubes margarine or butter, and 3/4 cup favorite chopped nuts (if desired) and a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. You may also need a measuring cup and measuring teaspoons if you want to measure the ingredients evenly. Also, you'll need a small bowl, to beat the three eggs and melt the butter in, and a large bowl to mix the ingredients together. Now that you have all your ingredients, you can get started on the fun, but first, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Before you mix all the ingredients, beat the three eggs together in the small bowl until they are well mixed. Now...

...Kyimari Reeves Food & Culture Dr. Daryl White December 12, 2014 My Family’s Culinary History: A Multigenerational History and Autoethnography When you think of or smell a certain food, what comes to mind? On one hand, the sight or smell of that food might trigger hunger, or even a memory of the last time you shared that meal with a loved one. The smell or sights of our favorite foods trigger a different thoughts or feelings in each of us. This is an example of Semiotics. Semiotics is defined as "anything that can stand for something else." Roland Barthes was one of Europe's most renowned theorists of semiology. Barthes believed that in order to generate a complete sign, there were two parts that have to work together. These two parts are known as the signifier and the signified. A good example of this is the favorite food we thought of earlier, it would act as a signifier, and the thought that came to your head when thinking of this food would act as the signified. For some, that equates food memories. My family and I have created many food memories for us as well as followed the foodways crafted for us by previous generations. Coming from a rather diverse ethnic background, we have different variations of traditional African American foods. I have many memories of family reunions and all the interesting dishes my relatives would prepare. But when it came to certain meals my mother was very traditional in preparing it, and it had to be done a certain way or it...

...I work for Schwans Corporation at a pie factory in Stilwell Oklahoma. Our plant produced 25.7 million pounds of finished product last year, running at 95% production efficiency. I had the pleasure of talking to Sheila Chucolate, the plant manager, on two occasions about her position in the plant, overall taking over two hours. I interview her touching on six major management issues; her personality and core values, her philosophy about work and management, leadership and mentoring, the organizational goals and objectives, social responsibility and company culture; discrimination, sexual harassment and diversity, and finally just touching on IT, internet, and globalization. Personality and Managers Core Values Shela considered herself to have an extroversive personality telling me “You have to be positive even in the toughest circumstances.” She exerted both agreeable and conscientious tendencies, a real people person, but she was also re-thinking her work, and double checking others. Sheila said it was always easy to relate to others, she was raised very generous and caring, making her sensitive to others which she said had both helped her and hurt her at times. I asked if her experiences as a manager changed her, she laughed and said that she us to be a timid person now can be assertive if need to be. Sheila also demonstrated an external locus of control by confessing that her Dad in raising and still encouraging her had got her where she is today. Philosophy about...

...The Cafe It was the best day of my life, as I entered I felt overwhelmed by the surrounding sensations. The place looked phenomenal, the chairs shone brightly like diamonds in the dark gloomy sky. They were the center of everything, I was astonished by the custom made, marvelous, authenticated tables and chairs. Yes you guessed it! the Flamingo cafe is where I was located. All the talk about their freshly baked pies intrigued me and I couldn't help it, I had to go and explore this one of a kind cafe. The sensations were truly very overwhelming and astounding, as I took a sharp look I saw a brightly colored illuminating blue Flamingo statue sprouting water out of it's mouth. It gave the most calming, soothing and relaxing feeling, the sound of the water falling slowly yet swiftly drop by drop sounded like a beautiful harmony which in turn engaged my imagination. The remarkable symphony of the water dropping was like the waves of the ocean colliding against each other. It was rather crowded, people were scattered everywhere colonizing each and every area. And the sound of their chattering and giggling resembled a swarm of harmless gentle Bees humming in happiness. Thankfully I was lucky enough to find a place to sit, it was the last seat too! and from a distance I saw someone approaching to my table slowly yet gracefully. He was a tall, delightful, friendly looking young man, he had an eccentric looking yet recognizable outfit on, it was in the shape of the dazzling blue...

...In February of 2008, I visited a tiny restaurant by the name of Cakes&Ale. Accompanied by local Chefs and Mixologists, I had no idea what I was in store for. We ordered several small plates to share, beers, and a few desserts. Amongst the desserts was a small plate with 3 cream-filled cookies called “Phatty Cakes”, that to me, resembled little debbie's oatmeal pies. Skeptical, I picked one up and took a bite. Contrary to my preconceived notions, this little delicious treat turned out to be a marscarpone filled gingerbread whoopie pie. Soft gingerbread cookies with a sweet yet savory marscarpone filling, that almost melts in your mouth. After my initial visit, I would visit Cakes&Ale solely for the infamous “Phatty Cakes”. At 3 cakes for $6, I would stock up buying over a dozen little treats. And no, I never bothered to share, nor did I bother to tell anyone where I got them; they were truly my little secret. After years of consuming Phatty Cakes, I had to know who was behind the tiny delicious treat. Pastry Chef, Cynthia Wong was the mastermind behind this decadent little treat. “The 36-year-old Southerner has held a lot of jobs in the Atlanta food industry. She was the production manager for Via Elisa Fresh Pasta, a food stylist for the TBS program “Dinner & a Movie” and even a food reviewer for Creative Loafing. But she has found her metier at Billy Allin’s Cakes & Ale restaurant.”( Kessler 2010) In 2011, the Pastry Chef behind my favorite dessert, took her recipe...

...Current Events in Business Research Tanesha Wilson RES/351 March 7, 2013 Deborah Alrutz Current Events in Business Research The business research process begins with an overview of a particular market or industry. During the overview, individuals can assess whether opportunities for business exist within that market. The next step of the business research process includes the collection data, which aids in determining the consumer need of products or services. An analysis of the data collected will also help to determine the direction the company should go. The business research process also involves a testing phase. In this phase of the process, conducting various tests can provide helpful information to predict customer behavior. The final step typically includes the decision or implementation of the idea (Cooper & Schindler, 2011). This summary will provide a brief overview of the business research process used to launch Cutie Pies Organic Cakes. The Process Cutie Pies & Cakes had been operating for several months as a home-based business making only navy bean pies and carrot cakes. As a featured vendor at an annual food and pastry tasting festival, we experienced an overwhelming response to our products, with one exception; a request for organic pies and cakes. The first task was determining if the local pastry industry needed an organic or “all natural” presence. To our surprise we encountered many who would want to purchase organic pastries regularly...

...Case Study The information in the Case Study is used each week when writing the individual sections of the Marketing Communications Plan. One of your neighbors has just inherited a restaurant in a small town about 75 miles away. They’ve never owned or operated a business before, and know very little about marketing or the restaurant business. They now have a Marketing Plan, but need help with the Marketing Communications Plan. General Restaurant Information Provided by Your Neighbors: 1. They want to keep the “family’s” restaurant as a legacy to their family members who left it to them. However, they will need to make money immediately in order to replace the income they lost when they quit their jobs to run the restaurant. 2. The restaurant has been losing sales/profits over the past few years. Family members have had some health issues (and have since passed away) and have not had the time to manage the restaurant effectively. For the past few months, the Chef and some of the servers have been keeping the restaurant open. 3. The restaurant has a good reputation in the small community. The town has a population of 6,000 people. It is in a good location (right off an interstate) and does additional sales catering to local businesses in the area. Over-the-road semi-drivers say it is the best cup of coffee in town and town’s people know that you can always find the local sheriff and highway patrol officers eating there.

The restaurant is family owned and the owners want to keep it going as a legacy to the family members who left it to them. Since quitting their jobs, they will have to make money immediately. The restaurant has not been doing well over the last few years and has been losing money. Family members have passed away and others are having health issues, so the restaurant as of now is being ran by the chef as well as some of the servers. Getting this restaurant on the right track will require much work and dedication, and with the right tools in place, customers who are looking to have a great dining experience on a budget and enjoy a delicious home-style meal will get just that.
