Stew

Actually, it is cheaper than buying premade food. According to Hellmich many of the healthiest superfoods on the market are extremely inexpensive items like, beans and brown rice. These two ingredients are the base of a lot of dishes such as pastas, stews, soup, salads, and even some breads. Since the supermarkets get to control what prices certain items are sold there tends to be bias. Unfair measure of price is non-fat milk, which is higher in price per calorie compared to 2% (Hellmich 1).…

In Seth Rockman’s monograph “Scraping By”, Rockman provides a grim outlook on Baltimore, Maryland’s wage-labor during the early 1800’s. No matter the age, race, ethnicity, or gender, the people of Baltimore struggled and “scraped by” in order to survive. Rockman challenges the notion that the early republic was a time of great growth and upward opportunity for people. Instead, he reveals the harsh truth of living in Baltimore, from scraping human feces off the streets, to prostitution, or…

PRELIMINARY REPORT I got my topic the second time I picked from the bucket. My first topic I picked was Trovants from Contesti, Romania. I looked at a couple of sites, but it didn’t look interesting to me. It was living rocks that can move, grow, and reproduce, so I drew again. I drew the Anjikuni Lake in Canada. I looked through a couple of sites and decided that I would keep it because it looked interesting to me. I looked at more sites and each site helped me understand the disappearance…

During the Elizabethan era, food was a major importance in England. The type of food that was eaten largely depended on the social class. The poor generally ate less meat, but more vegetables. The rich had a more luxurious way of dining, and ate finer foods and more meat than the poor. However, the idea of meat being only for the rich did not last because population grew, which led to new agricultural techniques. Not surprisingly, the rich had silverware and the poor would have wooden utensils.…

“Are you coming with me?” She couldn’t quite place him but he greeted her as an old friend, unfazed by her lack of reciprocation. Curiously he had an air of familiarity about him, like a background noise you had heard but never took much notice of. She concluded, therefore, that his question must not have been directed at her. He persisted and addressed her again. “Do you know where you are? Forgive me, few that I meet here, truly know where they are without some guidance”, sliding over to the…

Throughout Sherman Alexie’s poem “Capital Punishment” the narrator changes his perspective of the Indian man who killed a white person. At first the narrator only talks about the murder that the man committed, referring to him as a killer.

By the end of the poem the narrator transforms his view of the Indian, referring to him not as a killer, but as a man. The narrator’s transformation…

Cultural Identity Growing up, I learned that my family and I come from various cultures and backgrounds, which I thought was extremely unique. I concluded that my culture was unique because it was different from my friends that I grew up with because we were all different ethnicities. My race that I identity with is Caucasian and my ethnicities that I identity with are Swiss, Italian, German, and Native American. I grew up in Soledad, California, which is mainly populated by Hispanics so I knew…

This liquid would be added to stews, but eventually was consumed by itself. This liquid is beer, and was the first alcoholic drink created. Soon wine became brought to attention, and…

The character Mme Loisel in Guy de Maupassant’s The Necklace can be hard to relate to. She can be vain, selfish and greedy although readers do feel bad for her sometimes. Mme Loisel was born into a family without money or a proper home. The author describes how she suffers from her lifestyle of being middle- class. She was described as being ‘unhappy all the time’ due to not having the luxury and fine dresses she dreamed of. She is also simply not content with what she has. All Mathilde wants…
