Chicken Alfredo

Pasta and noodles! This is one of my favorite dishes. It's delicious, but wait until you hear the story it originated from. 

   In 1914, people say that a man named Alfredo Di Lelio,  was trying to cook something that would please his wife. To do so, he created a sauce made from Parmesan cheese and butter, poured it over some fettuccine, and served it to his wife. Di Lelio also opened up a restaurant in Italy and served his new,  innovative dish.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

                Home made chocolate chip cookies!!!


            Last month, my mom made home made cookies. They were really good. She didn't use the traditional chocolate chips. She used big chunks that made them much better. They melt in your mouth like cotton candy. First, she used the Hershey's recipe until she got used to it. Once my mom was a master at it, she started to put her own ingredients. Here is the recipe owned by Hershey's:



Ingredients

  • 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour                           
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter , softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK Chocolate Chips or HERSHEY'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

What is Food?

                                        What is Food?


             This definition is from Google-
                                     

  food
fo͞od/
noun
  1. any nutritious substance that people or animals eat or drink, or that plants absorb, in order to maintain life and growth.



                           In order to survive, all living things need food to live. Just like water. When most people think of food, they think of rice and beans with a big piece of chicken on the side of your plate. Well, not all people. For some people, their meal for the day is a bowl of noodles, and in the mix, some stir fry. To some people, berries strait off a tree is normal. Food is different for all people.  


                           What people eat what? What would I expect?

                 "Mr. Mundo is not sloppy! Mr. Mundo just happens to have very neat eating skills!" 
                           
Animals eat in many different ways. So do we. In some countries, such as India, people are banned from eat beef. Culture is a thing in food too. It is forbidden for Muslims to eat pork. In other countries, such as Spain, Yellow rice and empanadas are common there. In China, there are lots of noodle shops that serve rice too. In Jamaica, you would expect Caribbean food. However, you don't judge a book by it's cover. That means just because one person is Jamaican, Chinese, or  Spanish, they have the choice to eat Chinese food, or follow their culture. You can eat whatever you want.
"Mr. Mundo thinks that wraps up things for today. See you!"
