Caramel

Growing up in Chicago has provided numerous opportunities to engage with multiple ethnic cultures and customs through food, music and numerous social interactions. Those various ethnic cultures have also coalesced into a cultural kaleidoscope that has fundamentally shaped the culture of the metropolis and the way that I digest the sociocultural norms of my hometown. Therefore, when someone [myself included] identifies ‘Chicago culture,’ we are essentially referencing a geographical culture and…

Today, I learned that life can be cruel, and can take away anyone in a moment of time. Watching mothers’ life leave her eyes was the most heartbreaking experience ever. My 18th birthday is just a few days away and she was not able to live long enough to see me grow a little bit older. My father has left again he is in search of a new wife someone to take care of me. Hopefully she will be kind and caring. My mother knew one thing that will never change; I have more love and compassion in my…

To walk down a bustling city street in the 1940’s, one might catch a glimpse of the tight, bouncing curls adorning the heads of the fair women strutting down the sidewalk.

But, that is all women were; they were pretty…

So I went to the most crowded cafe at Kensington street after all. Aoi and me ordered a caramel cake and a carrot cake, but I think the cake that I bought at AlDI in ￡2 was more nice than that one.

When we first were signing up to choose our topics, I chose baking because I like to simply bake. I thought that there could be some chemistry involved due to heat in the oven changing food from liquid to solid. I was so wrong. Even though the oven and heat portion plays a major factor, a good portion of the real chemistry lies in the ingredients we use to make such delicious dessert treats and our different breads. From the ten different sources I looked up previously, for the Annotated…

The trepidation in Talanna’s response to his plea had not gone unnoticed by Weylon, however, it was far outweighed by her intrigue and willingness to play along with what he had in store for the evening. With hopes that the night would be an escape from the realities, responsibilities and concerns that plagued them, to simply bask in the company of one another without fear or distraction, he shook his head beneath her query. “Not at all. You look… ravishing, as always.” He chose his words…

Have you ever noticed the way that honey looks when light shines on it? The way it glimmers and somehow you can see its thickness? That’s how Candace’s hair looked. It was back in a ponytail, flyaway hairs framing her petite face, and it glimmered like honey in the sun. Candace, a junior in high school, decided to do something different today--she would walk to school. It was a crisp fall morning, and it felt wonderful outside.
