Like Water for Chocolate

bars of granola that have higher levels of fiber and good proteins. But each bar contains 391.3 calories. This means that in one sitting, you already consumed: 1,173.9 calories. The “healthy” granola bar became more fattening than the “unhealthy” chocolate bar. The same goes with beverages. Let us suppose that you went on a pineapple juice only diet. You consume five 1,000 ml bottles of store-bought pineapple juice. Each bottle contains 440 calories each. In one day, you have consumed 2,200…

want to get something to eat”. “Yes, where you ...” I stop mid-sentence when I hear the still unnamed guy still beside me say “I was just about to leave; my granddad is making something really good at home. You guys want to come?”. Joe had this look like he was asking “do you even know this guy?”. Not knowing what to say I said “sure”. After realizing what I had said, I was trying to make an excuse on why I…

if not, no worries! We’re going to slip in a few other ingredients that completely mask the taste of greens and roots. To make this smoothie, round up: Half a cup of diced beets (any way you like them - peeled, unpeeled, raw, cooked) A cup and a half of baby spinach One cup of frozen red berries, like raspberries or strawberries Three pitted Medjool dates One tablespoon of organic dark cocoa powder A splash of vanilla extract A cup and a half of unsweetened plant milk (almond or coconut…

My shaking hands on the handlebars and my teeth gritting together. I rotated the pedals with all of my might to get the bike moving. I fell like any kindergartener would have fallen at that point in their life but I got back up. My dad was encouraging me so that I wouldn’t give up. So, I got back on the bike. After a few more trial and error experiments the trees were rushing past me in a blur…

Anyone who asks the question, “who am I?” or “what is my purpose?” have dealt with the dilemma of personal identity. Everyone, weather they know it or not, is striving for personal identity. It may be the clothes they where, how they act, and even the people they associate themselves with. A wide array of philosophers with different backgrounds and from different eras; give there input on this question. What is personal Identity? In this essay I answer this somewhat ambiguous question.

Animals and humans have many differences, so it can be dangerous to rely too heavily on animal tests. Animal tests cannot give 100% accuracy…

hungry. Once he goes up to line he remembers what his parents told him. “You need to eat very healthy because you have a big soccer game today.” So this child looks for a salad, water, chicken, and rice. But once he looks at the “yummy” meals, instead of seeing his food ideas, the healthiest food he can find is pizza, chocolate milk, and fries. Well, this is not any kind, it's how kids feel every day at lunch, wanting to eat healthy, hungry for a nice salad, but all they can find is chicken…

character readers see in the novel . I did this by creating a shift in Meursault’s speech. In the first journal entry, Meursault is introspective focusing more on his dreams and ambitions. When having to quit school, Meursault’s speech becomes more like in the novel, monotone, simplistic, and focusing on the world around him and how he feels in the present. This is meant to mirror Camus’ style of tone, and characterization, as well as to further develop underlying themes. At the end, Meursault…

spend more exercising. On a hot summer day, the ideal thing to do would be to sit on the couch with a bowl of ice cream and watch a movie, but why not invite your friends over and have water-related relay races? You’d be wasting a perfect day of skiing if you stayed indoors by the fire with a cup of hot chocolate in your hands, watching snowflakes slide down the windowsill. Children these days need more exercise, whether it’s challenging your friends to a game of soccer, or racing them across…
