Fudge

I did like my spring break this year. It wasn’t too short or too long, for it was the perfect amount of time to rest. The week was just great. To start off, one reason I liked my spring break was because I went shopping with my parents. For example, I went to the Plaza Mall and went towards my favorite place to shop at. The place is called Nike. Consequently, I bought shoes, a backpack, and some running gear for myself. This effected me by getting into a joyful and excitement mood. I…

Also each grain of sugar consists of a small crystal made of an orderly arrangement of…

few get to call theirs. It is something the rest of the states get a preview of through a flash of images and clips in “Pure Michigan” commercials. My childhood was a fortunate one filled with road trips for sunsets “Up North” and Mackinac Island fudge. Nowhere could compare to being raised in this odd mitten-shaped state. It was a perfect place I never wanted to leave. Along with fifth grade came the economy crisis of 2008. This pushed my family’s real estate business under, thus encouraging a…

This summer I went to Mackinac Island and Upper penninsula With all my cousins and grandparents. I had a great time in the 4 sunny days we went there. We visited the harbor front of Mackinaw while eating hot fudge from the one of the street stores.

The next day, we took a 2 hour trip to Pictured Rocks in the Upper Peninsula. Which had to be one…

When I was in 9th grade, I didn’t know that I was going to have a mom with stage IV breast cancer and I really didn’t think this would improve my life. The doctors said she couldn’t do anything, that chemo would just weaken her, so my family decided to search for our own treatments. There was everything from wheat grass, to teas, to herbal supplements, and I loved the journey of learning about all of these things. While we were on this journey I found myself wanting to join my mom in her fight…

cake found in Europe was Kugelhof. It was very similar to what we know as Bundt cake today. Kugelhof was sweet bread made with a few simple ingredients: flour, milk, and yeast.

Does it make them bad people? In the film, (Dis)Honesty: The Truth About Lies, directed by Yael Melamede, it talks about, “The Fudge Factor.” In simple terms, “The Fudge Factor” can be explained as the ability to misbehave, but still be good people. It’s practically a person’s deciding line on what is okay and what is not okay. But how does someone get drawn into that theory? Just recently, my class…
