Appetizers

what he or she knows best. This type of responsibility makes the holiday a family effort, for how much food is in the potluck depends on every member’s devotion on cooking their dish. At the end, when the family piles up their dinner table with appetizers, entrees, and desserts, they dig into the meals and enjoy the eating experience. As each member eats away of the buffet, they feel glad that everyone fulfilled their part in making the potluck happen, so they become open-minded and socialize.…

oven, and decadent chocolate desserts. Although we love filling our bellies with mouth-watering morsels, overeating has also become a tradition. Similar to revenge, large meals start slowly; prayers are said and chatter continues while salad and appetizers are served. Then, when the main meal comes out, you go into a frenzy, gobbling up every heavenly crumb of cuisine in your line of vision. Once the table is cleared and dessert is served, the frenzy begins once again; the…

Concert On April 17, the band Hinds with opening act Twin Peaks perform live at the Crescent Ballroom in Downtown Phoenix. It was a Monday and I had class at 5:45pm till 7pm and homework due soon. Like every college student we tend to procrastinate and say "screw it, have fun",yet regret it later. That day I proudly skip class and my boyfriend and I take a lyft from my house to downtown Phoenix and meet up with our group of friends. To give a little information on the band, Hinds is a Spanish…

A Wedding is a Wedding – Or is It? From the time we are very young, and throughout our entire lives, most of us have been invited to and attended wedding ceremonies. What I had never considered was the very real possibility that perhaps the wedding celebration experience that I had come to expect when one of those intricately printed invitations found its way to my mailbox would not necessary be the experience that would ensue upon my arrival to said ceremony. As a little girl, I spent many…

So how was the performance? AfterEffect, Nutcracker pas de deux, and Souvenir d'un lieu cher were rather weak appetizers. AfterEffect is Marcelo Gomes' first big choreographic effort and he made a couple rookie mistakes: 1) slapping on a theme (the three main characters are called The Man, His Loss, and His Hope) that had little to do with what was happening onstage; 2) choosing a grand, ambitious piece of music (Tchaikovsky's Souvenir de Florence) without really knowing what to do with it and…

"You're so difficult" is what I've heard my whole life. As if it was my choice to be such a picky eater. "But you used to eat this when you were a baby." Well I'm not a baby anymore and maybe I came to senses. I may not have diverse cravings but I like what I like. Some people don't understand that. Being viewed as spoiled or stubborn is not always a good feeling, but it's something I can't control. It's finding out my family wants to try a new restaurant and feeling my heart pump out of my…

House of Atreuis. Tantalus was a mortal, and was allowed to dine with the gods. Tantalus thought of himself as an equal to the great gods. He invited all the gods to a feast on Earth. The meal that Tantalus provided was odd and sick. The special appetizer consisted of his own son, Pelops. Understood what had occurred and became extremely upset, the gods banished Tantalus to be tormented in the underworld. To make the punishment even worse, the gods surrounded Tantalus with fruit trees and put…

morning, which would now probably be considered lunchtime. Supper was a smaller meal at 4 or 5, which would now be called dinner. Dinner was split up into “courses”, with different types of food in each course (Albala). The first course was akin to appetizers in modern day. The second course had larger dishes. The third course had more unconventional meats and fish. Sweets and wine would be served after the meal in middle-class houses to aid in digestion, very similar to today’s dessert course.…
