How To Make Recipes

Improved Essays

You have to be the taste tester and make it up as you go. If you do not like the taste, then you have to change something. Making the same dessert for every family even can get quite boring. One night while on Pinterest my mom found something new. She found a recipe for apple pie cupcakes. The very first time that we made the cupcakes, we made them exactly how the recipe said to. We searched through our cups, the cabinet full, to find one that was just the right size. It had to big enough to cut the crust so that it would fit in the tin, but small enough still that the crust, once cooked would still be in the tin.

While in DEP I have to make sure I stay in shape. We talked about trying to eat better and go to the gym more so that I can lose weight, one of my biggest worries at the moment. For me losing weight is a very hard thing to do as eating is my favorite passtime. Thankfully I have my recruiters to help me out. I told her about how the recruiters split everyone in DEP into four groups and are planning to set up days for physical training for each group. One thing we discussed is how no one will make cupcakes the exact same way even if they are looking at the same recipe, my mom related this to my step brother and I. While putting the crusts into the oven, she laughed about how different we are. Looking at it, I realized just how different we are. There are a few things that we have in common, but even more that we do not. At this point he had come up from the basement to get something and sat down to talk to us for a while. We talked about how everything from our interest to our dictation is very

    In October 2010, James Sanborn published “Weight Loss at Any Cost” for Marine Corps Times. James Sanborn wrote the article because Marines are hesitant of violating the authoritarian weight policy, appearance standards, and do not want to have to be put in the program called body composition platoon (BCP).

Weight loss at any cost…

    In the short story “Simple Recipes” by Madeleine Thien, the author uses juxtaposition and repetition to shape the meaning of the narrative as a story about unity and its dissolution. Thien uses these elements of design in the juxtaposition of the narrator’s past harmony with her family being played out side by side with her more distant present.

To begin, Thien first uses juxtaposition in her placement of the past alongside the present in order to emphasize the interrelationship of these contrasting times while also revealing details about the family’s past that strongly ties in with the overall story…

    My Struggle with Weight and Body Image Although I have always been considered small, my weight has always fluctuated beyond what is considered to be in the normal range of 1 to 2 pounds. The heaviest I have ever been is 123 pounds and I hit that as a freshman in college, unlike most individuals, I was my second heaviest as a freshman in high school. As a three sport athlete I ate whatever I wanted thinking that I could burn it off on the field and being bigger, muscle-wise was better. At the time food was more important that what I looked like and I felt stronger weighing on the higher end of the 110s than the lower end, and accepted the extra body fat that came with my diet and muscle. At some point as a sophomore I started to care more…

    In the story “Simple Recipes”, by Madeleine Thein, there is conflicted cultural perspectives caused by the age gap between the father and the son. Different generations of a family have different views on how one should live their own lifestyle.

    In the past decade the US Coast Guard has made weight standards a part of its military service. All Coast Guard military personnel will be screened against weight and body fat standards every April and October. Although having weigh-ins semiannually is a good start, it still is not enough. There are so many people in the Coast Guard that do not eat healthy or exercise enough regularly even with the weight and body fat standards program in place. These people end up waiting until a few weeks before semiannual weigh-ins to start dieting and exercising so that they can be compliant with the standards.…
