In Jessica Harris’s “The Culinary Season of my Childhood” she peels away at the layers of how food and a food based atmosphere affected her life in a positive way. Food to her represented an extension of culture along with gatherings of family which built the basis for her cultural identity throughout her life. Harris shares various anecdotes that exemplify how certain memories regarding food as well as the varied characteristics of her cultures’ cuisine left a lasting imprint on how she began to view food and continued to proceeding forward. she stats “My family, like many others long separated from the south, raised me in ways that continued their eating traditions, so now I can head south and sop biscuits in gravy, suck chewy bits of fat from a pigs foot spattered with hot sauce, and yes’m and no’m with the best of ‘em,.” (Pg. 109 Para). Similarly, since I am Jamaican, food remains something that holds high importance in my life due to how my family prepared, flavored, and built a food-based atmosphere. They extended the same traditions from their country of origin within the new society they were thrusted into. The impact of food and how it has factors to comfort, heal, and bring people together holds high relevance in how my self-identity was shaped regarding food.

My earliest memory of food is lentils and rice cooked in a pressure cooker. Lentils were cooked at least three days a week. Other days we had different vegetable curries, curd and more rice. This was what I took to school as my lunch every day. As I grew older and started caring more about my social life and people around me, I started noticing what my classmates brought for lunch from their homes. I started understanding how food reflected different cultures and communities. One day, in our

Finally we reach the good stuff, the food. I don’t know of any other food that has the savory flavor coming out out from every little bite you take from a freshly made tamale drizzled with hand made salsa.

I have so many cherished memories through food. Ever since I was young we have been traveling down to Fort Lauderdale Florida to visit my Dads family for Christmas. For Christmas eve, my Aunt Zaida throws a giant party with large amounts of Cuban food. The house always smells strongly of garlic and plantains. The house is filled with sounds of my aunts yelling at each other and loud roars of laugher soon after. My family spends days preparing the food for this event. My dad is originally from Cuba, so Cuban cuisine is a very essential part of my life. A traditional meal that my family serves on Christmas eve consists of a full pig, plantains with garlic sauce, beans and rice, sweet plantains, and a slice of Cuban bread. My favorite part about

My friend’s name is Genet, and her mother named is Saba. Saba has been diabetic for the past seven years, and has been in America for six years. Right before her arrival that she was diagnosed with type I diabetes. I asked Genet, if she was willing to ask her mom, for my interview session for my health assessment class. She is very supportive when it comes to school, so she agreed. I met Saba a while ago, when I used to work in the Salon. I used to do her hair, and never knew that she had type I diabetes. I used to go visit my friend’s house, and spend time there with her family.

Contrapasso is one of the few rules in Dante’s Inferno, it is, as they call it, the law of nature, that applies to hell. It states that for every sinner’s crime there must be an equal and fitting punishment. Out of the nine levels of hell I choose the second level, The Lustful, that best represents contrapasso. I choose the second level because it is a great example of contrapasso. In this level the punishment is that the sinners “...reached a place of darkness and a storm. The tempestuous winds blow, and as they blow, the sinners caught in its grasp go high or low and from side to side with no control over their speed or position” (Inferno 17). The sinners are blows by the winds with no control as they could not control their lust, instead

In the beginning of time, there lived a community of witches. They were known as “The Coven.” The witches’ job was to create a pathway to the heavens. They decided to create a mountain that would rise up towards the sun through the clouds to the heavens. The high witch, Potestas, who was the most skilled and powerful witch of them all, asked each witch to claim a person to watch over in the little village of Caelo. A person never knew who their coven guide was. Each witch, when she became of age, was assigned a special job. It was to make sure each person did a good deed before he or she died. When people die they turn to stone. There were countless problems in the world and it was up to the people to fix them. Their good deeds helped the world become a better place.

Food has always been the central theme in my family, it’s what binds us together. We do not eat because we are hungry, we eat because we love food. As a child I was always amazed that my school friends would discuss ways in which you could hide food at dinner to avoid eating it. In my family no one dared leave the table after food was served for fear there would be nothing left when you returned. Of course I was fortunate, my mother was, and still is, a great
