...Lucisano et al., (1984) Produced macaroni from commercial durum semolina blended with 10, 20, and 30 per cent defatted corn germ meal. The effect of germ supplementation on chemical composition, physical properties of dough, cooking characteristics, mechanical properties, and panel acceptability of macaroni were studied. Addition of corn germ meal resulted in longer mixing time of the dough, higher farinograph water absorption, higher protein content of the products and improvement of amino acids pattern. Optimum cooking time and per cent increase in weight of cooked macaroni decreased with increasing levels of wheat substitution. Enrichment with germ flour had no effect on flavour and texture of conventional macaroni evaluated by taste panels;...

...At around age eight, my family and I went to the Macaroni Grill for my cousin’s birthday. This group included my uncle Marvin. Marvin personifies the ‘goofy, old uncle that gives his nieces and nephews enough candy to get cavities’ stereotype. Whenever we ate out with him, he would always sit at the border of the adult’s side of the table and the kid’s. He would make our stomachs ache with his jokes and our brains throb with his riddles. Overall, he kept us entertained through the usually boring meals. The lunch at Macaroni Grill started off like any other: Marvin sat near us kids and we proceeded to find ways to entertain ourselves as the meal dragged on. My younger brother, Tyson, challenged me to a very serious game of tic-tac-toe which would finally decide who had the title of Tic-Tac-Toe World Champion. This game would go on to help define my life. As I surpass Tyson in every way, it soon became clear to him what the outcome of the game would be. Not ready to face defeat he dashed his red crayon across the paper in an attempt to ruin our game and thus not lose his chance at the crown. I could not take such treachery. I quickly shot my arm across the table to put a stop to the double-crossing, but in my effort I accidently displaced a glass of water....

...August 20, 2013 Carlene Graham Understanding Food Labels According to the video “The Food Label and You” the 5/20 Rule is a guideline to the percentage of daily nutrients your body needs. For good nutrients such as calcium, fiber and vitamins you want the daily percentage to be closer to 20%. For bad nutrients such as oils, sodium, fat and carbs you want the daily percentage to be closer to 5%. Here is an example from my pantry. I chose to use Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. These daily percentages are using the prepared figures. Total Fat 29% Sodium 30% Carbs 16% Vitamin A 15% Calcium 15% Fiber 4% Once I looked at these daily percentages and took into account the 5/20 rule, I noticed that there are some very unhealthy nutrients in Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. I noticed that the total fat is way too high for just one item and for one serving. With the sodium combined with the total fat you would really have to watch what you ate with the Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. A good source of nutrient that is found in Kraft Macaroni and Cheese would be Vitamin A as well as having a good source of calcium. The six key elements that I found after reading the article “How to Understand Nutritional Food Labels” would first be the serving size and the servings per package. Serving sizes determines the amount of calories that will be taken in with a certain amount while a serving per package means if you used the whole package. The second element would be the Calories and the Calories...

...At the initial evaluation of Bryce’s motor skills, I observed her doing a lot of gross motor activities. She displayed about 80% gross motor skills and 20% fine motor skills initially; however, over the course of the semester I observed Bryce doing a lot of activities with magnets, dolls, or little ponies. She began practicing more fine motor tasks with the small animals and magnets, but I still thought she could use more help developing these skills. An activity I would recommend for Bryce would be to create a necklace with multiple macaroni pieces, of all shapes and sizes, or beads. By holding the string or yarn for the beads or macaroni she would be working on the Pincer grasp, and by grabbing the beads, or macaroni she would be able to...

Not so great at all. Over Christmas break, I don’t know exactly how old I was at the time, myself and my brother, George, who was in highschool at the time, were left to our own devices for lunch.

I, was not very well pleased with this answer, so when I opened the refrigerator and saw the carton of eggnog sitting on the shelf, declared that it would work just fine in place of milk, seeing as that’s what majority of eggnog is.
