...Families often pass down favorite recipes from generation to generation or from friend to friend. I took a moment to talk with my wife, Antalaya Israel who of which has a West Indian background (Trinidad). We spoke about her family favorite dish or at least her favorite, and to bring in that recipe to share. Surprisingly for Caribbean women, stuff shells were and still are this Trinidadian favorite dish of all times. Now I get it because being from Bermuda, I tend to lean more to Italian dishes as well but my wife is the oldest of three girls and lived with a mother from my observations, that cooked nothing but soul/Caribbean cuisines. At the end of this interview, I will encourage the reader(s) to try my wife’s recipe for stuff shells. I use my wife as a reliable source for this project because of her family’s background---Trinidadian. There’s no secret that Caribbean women love to cook, and not just love but can actually put great things together in the kitchen. Her mother and I often argue about who is the better cook but to be honest, her mother is a very good cook. From the spices she uses to presentation. As a matter of fact, she has a catering company---she being the mother. Trinidad cuisine is known for a number of dishes that has contributed to the culinary world. I believe it’s the spices that create these dishes to come to life like no other culture; roti, doubles, curries and more---Trinidad's best foods are loaded with flavor. “Food is diverse breakfasts...

...lunch time is a kid’s favorite time of day at school because they receive a chance to socialize with their friends. However, the cafeteria, where children enjoy spending time the most, is also a place that exposes them to harmful eating habits, such as the unhealthy foods the cafeteria offers which can influence them to continue wanting to eat these foods and may change the way these kids live their lifestyle in the future. Therefore packing a lunch is highly beneficial to a child, rather than buying lunch. A recent study with one thousand sixth-graders in southeastern Michigan has shown that those who regularly had the school lunch were twenty-nine percent were more likely to be obese than those who brought lunch from home. Of the one hundred forty-two obese children in the study for whom dietary information was known, almost half were school-lunch regulars, compared with only one-third of the seven hundred eighty-seven who were not obese. The school cafeteria systems have improved over the years, yet many of the foods still exceed recommendations for fat and many bad choices are made. Most school lunches rely heavily on high-energy, low-nutrient-value foods, because they are cheaper. In the typical school cafeteria, kids can choose an unhealthy mix of foods, especially the less nutritious often available such as a a la carte meal or from the vending machines. Below grade foods are used in nine out of ten schools. But it is not merely the unhealthy foods given to children, but...

... Ethnic Restaurant I have been always want to try different Ethnic fooda, because I believe that trying different foods can always be a great advanture to me. To me, Korean food is very unique .But my expeience with Korean food was rare. So I Google lincoln’s best korean restaurant, and then I found Yami Korean Cuisine. It was like 15 minuntes drive distance from campus, which was not too bad. I have friend who recommend this place to me before, she said the Galbi Short Ribs are really good. I ordered the Dolsot Bibimbap, which is a bibimbap prepared in sizzing hot stone bowl. On the menu, it introduced that bibimbap is “steamed rice with beef, sauted mushroom, spinach, carrot, zucchini, bean sprouts, and onion. Topped with fried egg and served with hot pepper sauce. ”. I did not like the flavor of carrot so I asked a Dolsot Bibimbap without carrot in it. The dish got different colors from the vegetables and meat, which made it looked really nice. The waitress told me stird all the ingredients together, so it is basiclly like a korean mixed rice. The Dolsot, which is the hot stone pot, keeps cooking the rice even after the dish was served. I thought it was interesting and new to me. In Chinese food, we have the dishes called Xiang Guo, which is a hot pot has fire under it to keeps on cooking while serving. But in Korean food, they made the Dolsot very hot and use the heat from the pot itself to cook. So always be careful with it, do not burn yourself...

...children's health because they positively influence their diets by balancing some of their favorite foods with healthier alternatives. Throughout this paper, my intent is to describe to you in detail the benefits of these programs and the process that is involved in implementing them within the school district, as well as to talk about some of the challenges that may be faced with the adoption of such a program. The Process and Benefits The USDA describes the national breakfast and lunch programs as federally assisted meal programs which seek to provide low-cost or free lunches to public school children across the country every single day. For taking part in these programs, our school district would receive subsidies and also food provided to us for every meal by the US Department of Agriculture. These meals would need to meet certain health standards that are determined by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which currently seeks to increase the intake of items such as fruits and vegetables as well as whole grains within these school meals. Along with the inclusion of more healthy ingredients, there are also specific caloric and sodium intake standards that we would need to adhere to as well. These limits are determined by the age of the children who are being served and would be different for each age group. Although this may seem to limit the freedom that we have within the district to choose what items we serve during meals, it does quite the opposite. Although Federal standards...
