Descriptive Essay On Prairie Kitchen

It was a short drive to the hotel, and the scenery was pretty cool, but I was really waiting for arrival time. I couldn't wait to see the hotel, and I had no clue what to expect. I eyes drifted out the window at all the tall trees on the hilly landscape. The trees filled the hill, and there was on sight of the forest floor. Birds of all sizes flew in and out of the forest, keeping a person looking at them and their home forever. But then the landscape began to change.

Sugar Creek: Life on the Illinois Illinois Prairie, a monograph written by John Mack Faragher discusses the life of settlers in Sugar Creek a town of Sagaman county, Illinois. Faragher argues the discoveries of the environment, society, culture, and economy in Sugar Creek throughout the nineteenth century and the changes, development, improvements with it. There are four common themes throughout the monograph: First, the kicking out of the Kickapoo and other Indians in place of Anglo-Americans. Second, the relationship and changes between men and women’s roles throughout the nineteenth century. Third, the community life and the sensibility of bringing the town together. Finally, the transition of agriculture and the innovations that changed the town. Faragher uses many censuses, charts, and records to get an idea of the transition of life in Sugar Creek and the affects it had on the community. Although Faragher presents many arguments he does not entirely discuss the men’s involvement in contrast to women’s roles in the household and town.

It was very difficult for blacks to fit in with white people but he remembers how this difficult time brought the black community together.

It is a mid July summer day and as I clumsily shuffle down an uneven sidewalk, I can feel the heat from the cement radiate against my flesh and the feel of my sweaty palm on my caregiver’s forearm as she guides me through Old Town, a small historical landmark in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We head to a shop to get some ice cream to help cool us down. As we enter the shop I can smell the sweetness that fills the shop and I gladly welcome the cool air conditioner blowing on my face. I am excited to try the ice cream of this quaint little store, but as I look up to view the menu on the wall, I struggle to see what flavors they have. As I peer through a small tunnel in the middle of my vision, the rest of my vision so blurry I cannot make out any

I look upon the grey clock, hanging on the white wall. The burning ember lit upon the five candles above us, suspended in a gold-plated chandelier. Never having been in such an opulent restaurant, I didn’t know what to expect. The grey clock was abnormal, almost paranormal. It was seemingly rotating slower by the second. In fact, everything around me was strangely out of place. The towering slender women and the short rotund

There is an evident difference in a variety of cultures and traditions throughout the world. According to Dr. Lucy Long, food culture “refers to the practices, attitudes, and beliefs as well as the networks and institutions surrounding the production, distribution, and consumption of food. It encompasses the concepts of foodways, cuisine, and food system and includes the fundamental understandings a group has about food, historical and current conditions shaping that group’s relationship to food, and the ways in which the group uses food to express identity, community, values, status, power, artistry, and creativity.” (Dr. Lucy Long, lexiconoffood.com). Four cultures and foods related to heath and obesity that are very different are the Chinese,

Our initial intentions were to go to Welborn music store and we were able to see the historical music pieces on the wall like an Indian sitar. We were also told that the building they were located in was a bakery in the 1920’s so the grease would still seep up into the carpet. It was interesting to listen to the history but it did not quiet meet my expectation because I was expecting it to be the best. After we left the music store we looked to our left and saw some old teal tile and a barber pole. We walked down and looked into the window and saw an old barber giving another older gentleman a haircut and it looked like a scene in a movie. At first we doubted if what we were seeing was real. Stephen agreed to get a haircut so we can go into the shop. The interior of the tiny Plaza Barber Shop was completely authentic and it looked like it hadn’t changed in at least fifty years. There was a very old heater in the corner that worked very well but it had a lot of trash behind it and I really hoped it wasn’t a fire hazard but it also looked covered in dust. There were three antique green barber chairs that were placed in the middle of the shop floor. There was also a row of bottles with bright green liquid called Jeris hair tonic that resembled what bugs bunny used in the barber of Seville. The man who was getting a haircut was very humorous and his name was Gene. We had asked what

Coming from the South, Biscuits and Gravy has been my favorite breakfast meal ever since my childhood. All Sothern’s behave themselves in a casual way when it comes to biscuits and gravy. Growing up, my love of Biscuits and Gravy was big, and still is, in local restaurants throughout my hometown in Jonesboro, Arkansas. We’ve had well-known restaurants, such as Cracker Barrel, Dixie Café and Gina’s Place, that are well known for their breakfast meals and sandwiches that receive worthy business. But who doesn’t love biscuits and gravy? Growing up in the south, locals knows how to serve breakfast when it comes to biscuits and gravy. It’s in our southern roots for the love of Biscuits and Gravy. But when I first moved to Denver after exiting the military, I began researching good brunch restaurant’s within a radius of where I’m living and began exploring these excellent places. I came across this urban restaurant that’s located on South Broadway, which has another location on East Colfax, called Atomic Cowboy but has “Biscuits, Pizza and Beer Everyday” painted on the side of the building. With the great reviews that I read,

I still haven’t walked all the way into the dinning hall and right by the door sits a black stand with a cash register and a suggestion box. I don’t smell any yummy aromas in the air. Which only makes me feel the food is old and has been sitting a while. And just isn’t fresh. When I stayed on

It has been a long time since hooligans from Fairview stole the trophy and Medicine Lake School's locks have been upgraded by the new Tom Green administration. The old locks have been replaced with expensive and unpickable Abloy cylinders and all glass windows are now alarmed. Nevertheless, despite all the extra security, various items have begun missing from the school for no clear reason. One day, about a third of the computer keyboards are nowhere to be found. The next day, half the clocks are gone. The day after that, someone has taken all the speakers out of the ceiling on the west side. Having a reputation as the guy who got the stolen trophy back from Fairview, I get a call from Tom Green.

When I take my first step through the door at Cracker Barrel, the sudden smell of sweet cinnamon, sugars, and spices fill my nose as I look at familiar sights. From left to right, gifts are decorated on top of the shelves and fine glasses are stacked on top of each other in a neat array. Candies are stored together in wooden bins, and clothes hand neatly on the clothing racks. The yellow lights make everything seem brighter and give me a warmer feeling. As I walk ahead past the cashier at my left to see the other half of the place, I see a huge restaurant straight ahead of me with a lady waitress waiting at the front to greet guests with a friendly “hello.” While my family and I were walking to take our

I looked outside and ahead I saw two five foot tall decks. The decks were ten feet apart and a black barrel stood in between the decks. To the right of the right deck was parked a 2015 red Silverado truck and a half dozen people stood on the bed of the red truck. Chela parked by the Silverado and when I stepped out the car a hot breeze of air hit me like a blow dryer. The floor was filled with dirt yet every other step the floor had patches of green weed. Kristy and I walked towards the right deck and climbed the black barrel to reach the top of the deck. I started greeting Kristy’s three aunts and her two cousins; then, I went to sit on top of a blue cooler located on the far left of the deck. When I looked ahead I saw a hideous view.
