Jalapeno Research Paper

Decent Essays
One day, my mom said that she would give me $10 if I ate a jalapeno. My mouth was burning and it felt like it was falling off. I had to get some milk to go with my water after I ate it all. Then, of course, I went to go and buy whatever I wanted for ten dollars. I hated it at the time, but I was only nine years old.

We go over to the same place every year for Christmas Eve: Grammy and Grandpa’s house. This year, she made jalapeno poppers and they were the yummiest thing I ate there!

    One of the most popular additions to meals, especially ready-made ones – ketchup, has been the subject of much debate lately. Namely, there’s growing evidence that store-bought ketchup can put your health at serious risk, mostly because of the ingredients it contains, such as high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), as well as a number of taste enhancers to make its taste as delicious as it is.

There are organic, non-gmo, sugar free ketchups available on the market but they cost a bit more and you can make it at home with just 2 minutes of your time and ensure it’s the freshest and healthiest ketchup that…

I remember the ice cream trucks, corner stores, fire hydrates being opened for the kids especially when there was a block party but most of all, the unity of families and neighbors. Many people will say “Brooklyn, only the strong survive” and I have lived by that phrase my entire life. It showed me the beauty of living in one of the boroughs that makes up New York City and has taught me to be a strong person. It’s not made for the weak.…
