    Last November, a week before Thanksgiving, I was listening to the morning radio talk show The Woody Show and the hosts were talking about how excited they were for the Thanksgiving feast. They all went around and shared what was their perfect meal for that day. It ranged from fried turkey, to stuffing, cornbread, green bean casserole, and towards the end the hosts argued about cranberry sauce. However, they all agreed that pumpkin pie was essential to the perfect meal. I found it very…

    Forty days after lent that day of the year arrived. Dying eggs, hours spent at church, and the sight of the beloved yet, creepy, Easter bunny. I found myself unwilling to get up for church that Easter Sunday knowing that soon after I would have to endure the horrible Easter egg hunt. As far back as I can recall I have been apart of the Easter egg hunt at my Grandmother Karll's house. Each of the twenty-five grandchildren fought for the chance to discover the golden egg. This unique egg contained…

Mrs. Manley assigned us to make homemade chocolate chip cookies from scratch. My group and I just looked at each other and thought this recipe should be a piece of cake. However, the way the cookies were not what we anticipated them to be. As we placed our cookies onto the pan and put them in the oven, we noticed something…

    Bugs love me. It is an unrequited love. In the forests of North Carolina where I have spent summers since I was seven years old, it was a constant battle not to be consumed by the never ending mass of insects who rated me five-star cuisine.

Nevertheless I learned to coexist. It was in those forests I learned to…

    The white way It was the afternoon of February 4, 1926 that I had made plans to have lunch with my friends Alanis and Abigail. While we had our lunch at the Broadway cafe, we noticed that snow was starting to fall. As we were eating the radio in the cafe announced that a huge blizzard was heading our way. We decided to leave the cafe to head home, as we did the city began to turn white. As we trudged through the snow we barely made it home. As soon as I pushed through the door my mom opened it…
