Sausage Dip Every couple of years my family and I travel up north to spend Easter with my family in Kentucky. After an eight-hour car ride, we would enter the house to a pleasant aroma of pulled pork that my Aunt Kathy had been cooking since that morning. My aunt loved it when we would all visit. She made sure we were fed and we had a place to stay, even if our trip was a last minute decision. One Easter, my mom and aunt were in the kitchen making dinner. They were making a dip I had never…

My overall food behaviors in these four days were very eye-opening to me. As it turns out, I need to pay more attention to what I’m putting into my body. A lot of my essential nutrients were low because I wasn’t eating enough calories and the foods that I were eating were high in fat. I need to work on getting enough whole grains, lean protein, fruits, and vegetables throughout my day. I now know that less calories, doesn’t mean healthy eating. I need to get more of the good foods in a higher…

would guess just go seat themselves if they didn’t leave first. With in the Bamboo Garden it seemed like the waiters and other staff members where all over the place. Managers seemed to be in their respective offices looking into paying bills, ordering food, and making schedules. On the other hand there was not any excitement of any rush…

On a beautiful monday, and just like everyday, Ted walks alone into the chaotic, unruly cafeteria, sits down at his lunch table, and examines his surroundings.

Ted fantasies that one day it will be his arm wrapped around her. After returning from cloud 9, he reaches into his lunch bag, with “Love, Mom” written on…

Working at Cebollas has been a very good experience for me whether it has been for work or money. I have been working at Cebollas Mexican Grill for about a year and a half and so far I have had good and bad experiences while working there. Working in a restaurant is not as easy as it looks. Having to put on a fake smile everyday and be friendly to people that are just completely rude is probably the worst experience I have had, but it is life. I have very good human relation skills with other…

In The Cultural Ecology of India’s Sacred Cattle, Marvin Harris describes the Hindu sacredness of cows as being more influenced by economy than theology. He calculates the economic advantages and disadvantages of cows and the consequences of illegalizing cow slaughter, without considering the possibility that these may have come from theology. In the first paragraph, Harris admits that he has never been to India and all of his research is based off of reading. He admits this may lead to some…

At boot camp we had one week called Hell Week, where there’s 3 tiers of challenges. In Hell Week we slept for 2 hours in one week. I was pushed harder than any other camp or challenge I’ve ever done. To get breakfast we had to run 1 mile with a 180-pound boat on our heads. We had to swim in water less than 40 degrees Fahrenheit when we have been awake for 72 hours. The scariest mission for me was obviously the Operation Red Wing mission. We were assigned to capture and/or kill Ahmad Shah, and…

My papw has had Alzheimer’s longer than I can remember. When I was younger, I spent much of my time at my mamaw and papaw’s house. I remember the front door’s white paint being so old and cracked it resembled the bark of a river birch tree, and stepping into the house you could smell the thick aroma of whatever my papaw was cooking that day. One day in particular I was looming over my papaw’s shoulder as he began to cook a breakfast of fried eggs for my mamaw. He positioned himself to where I…

In 1998, Barbara Ehrenreich, an essayist with a Ph.D. in biology, was encouraged to go out and try hands on and investigating journalism. This then developed into the idea of Barbara going out and living the life of an unskilled worker, with the conversation having drifted to how those who make minimum wage live. Skeptical at first, Barbara accepted and decided upon three rules for herself to follow through the process. First, she would not use any previously acquired skills to secure a job.…
