TV dinner

In the 1950s, foods took a change for the better… or worse. Things that Americans now take for granted were rare novelties back then. A simple pouch of McDonald’s french fries, a Whopper from Burger King, or microwavable Swanson TV Dinner trays easily changed the “cult of domesticity” in many 1950-modern homes. Before this time, women were expected to spend hours in the kitchen preparing meals for their families. This new way of food preparation changed the amount of money spent on food, the quality of food, and the amount of time and effort spent making food. Another important quality of this new novelty was that women now had more time on their hands to do far more important things like finding more time for themselves or getting a job. Places…

This aisle always captivated her because back home everything was always fresh and not in a package. It amazed her that people could eat things that have mystery meat and have been frozen for who knows long. When passing by this section she always walked down it very slowly to engulf herself with the American food. She would always think that maybe if she was seen here people would think she was American also. While gazing at the frozen meatloaf and swanson tv dinners as if by fortuitous her son…

some H2O when I woke up at about 8:30. I keep it next to me while I go over my class work and watch TV. It gets drank before my first class at 1:30. I always carry water with me to my classes, if I forget I stop by stars to buy one. Not often do I eat breakfast. For lunch I had a turkey sandwich on wheat, no cheese. For dinner I had some soup with a salad. I like cottage cheese with salad, so I skip dressing because that should hold it all together. I don’t like a dry salad. Wednesday,…

Emaline asked her mom if that was true and she said to Emaline to stay away from him (pg.42). So for the rest of the evening Emaline sat in an old chair outside and watched the crazy man seed the fields; he had orange long hair that shined in the sunlight. They didn’t know his name. When dinner came, the crazy man sat on the back steps eating off of one of their plates. Emaline was scared to go close to him to get up the back steps and walk passed him to get into the house to eat, but it was the…

white females. Everyone around us stared. The only thing on the agenda for today was to take a bus tour of the city and eat dinner together. The city was beautiful. There were large buildings with architecture that mimicked the Catholic Church. The cars were so small, they could be mistaken for a toy hot wheels car in America. The lanes on the road were tiny also. Just like in America, the closer you we got to the city the less green wee saw. In the suburban areas there were parks for kids and…

After a long day of work, constant meetings, phone calls, video conferences, or even school and the overwhelming amount of work your science or math teacher gives you. You go to a restaurant right around the corner to enjoy a nice and quiet meal, you sit down about to take a sip of the refreshing water that the waiter ha just brought to you and BAM! The booth right behind you is filled with a group of obnoxious teenagers that are talking to loud, laughing at stupid jokes that don't make sense…

In a first generation American household, originally from Italy, family dinner is more than a custom. It is a lifestyle. At six o’clock, every night, dinner is placed on the table, the children descend from upstairs, and are expected to sit down, and enjoy dinner all together. When food was not tasted, no matter how healthy it was, or exotic it sounded, a child could not excuse themselves from the table. The motto was, “Don’t knock it before you try it.” This open mindedness stems from the food…
