When I was once doing an internship at Jaleo in Washington D.C. I asked the head chef what makes a person a great chef and he told me “The chef that grew up with the grandma who cooks tends to always beat the chef that went to the culinary institute. It 's in the blood.” He was telling the truth I always wanted to be chef ever since I was 7 years old. The first time I ever cooked, I was 7 years old living in Los Angeles, California with my mom. One Saturday morning, I was hungry and my mom had to go to work. I was tired of eating cereal.. I grabbed pancake mix, bacon, sausage, and eggs and put them on the counter. I looked at them and said “let’s get cooking”. Two hours later I had a full breakfast meal cooked: perfectly crisp brown bacon, fluffy light brown pancakes you can just sleep on, eggs that were cooked to flawlessness, superb golden brown sausage that were nice and moist, and not to brittle or soggy. Growing up, one learns from experience, and boy, did I! From under-cooked chicken to overcooked cakes and cookies, I learned from my experiences. One memorable experience was the day I tried to make chicken. I was 10 years old and I had bought some chicken wings and BBQ sauce from the grocery store. I seasoned the chicken well with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, curry powder, and sage. I tossed the pieces around in the BBQ sauce mix and put them in the oven. On the internet, it said to let it cook for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Since I was starving and a naive…

brought over from Europe to North America by early European settlers, the herb was used as food and a substitute for garlic, medicinally to treat gangrene and ulcers, and has also been used as a form of erosion control. The first record of garlic mustard in the United States was in Long Island, New York in 1868. In Europe, there are insects and herbivores that have used the plant as a source of food, but the plant is not as tolerated by the insects and herbivores in North America which has…

8. Brewer’s yeast and garlic control fleas This is still controversy regarding the effect of brewer’s yeast and garlic in repelling fleas. Over-the-counter remedies are available with these ingredients promoting the use for controlling fleas. Perhaps, it is because the dose is small and no anticipated poisoning from these small amounts. However, the dose is dependent on the breed, size and weight, so why take a risk at all. Garlic contains the chemical thiosulphate, and it can be toxic to dogs.…

Prep: In order for the experiment to be conducted, there needed to be an extract available in order to soak the 7 mm disc. The way that the spices were extracted was by taking both the fresh and dry spices (Zingiber officinale (Ginger), Thymus vulgaris (Thyme), Allium sativum (Garlic), and A. cepa (Onion)) and measured out 1.5 grams of each of the spices. For the fresh spices, they had to be chopped up finely in order to get an exact measurement of 1.5 grams like the dry spices and this also…

phase. Mitotic Cyclins start to gradually gather during the G2 phase. Once the appropriate concentration is reached, the mitotic cyclins can bind to the CDKs. Once the mitotic cyclin is inactivated, the cell leaves mitosis and divides and re- enters the G1phase. 3. Score 50 Vicia root tip cells and determine the number of cells in interphase and in mitosis. Calculate the mitotic index. (2 marks) Number of cells in mitosis = 13 (a) Number of cells in interphase = 37(b) Calculate the mitotic…

2015). The cell cycle and mitosis lab consisted of three parts covering the essentials of identifying and recording of observations of the different phases of mitosis. The objectives activity IA and for IB were to provide us a visualization of mitosis and apply the classification of each phase and its role in the cell cycle. In activity IC, our objective was to carry out slide making techniques that will be a fundamental skill in future labs. If mitosis takes a relatively small time to carry…

athletes go to schools to sharpen their minds, so they may build their skills by learning to better themselves on the field. That way they can be drafted for the major leagues as professional athletes. As a result, their dreams could be met, so they could sweat as much as possible obtain bruises from hits and tackles, and make touch down on the field. The National College Athletes Associate allows for athlete’s compensation no less than 5000 dollars a semester. Meaning, the university that makes…
