Homemade Bread Summary

Coming from a long line of farmers, our family table appreciates wheat. Growing up, my grandmother and mother raised me in the kitchen. From taking harvest meals to the field, to family dinners at home, our family loves cooking. I have learned many recipes form the women in my life, but there is one in particular I love: Garden Herb Braid Bread. To some, wheat may not be a commodity, but as a farmer’s daughter, I respect the drudgery that goes into bread being placed on the table come dinner time.

The 1920s was a hard and painstaking era in American history. Many family's throughout New York lived in absolute poverty and saved week to week just to make enough to eat and pay the rent.

Pollan’s central claim is that the food we eat nowadays contain multiple complicated food products which most of us have no idea what they are. He claims that we should eat as our ancestors, a loaf of bread should only include a few ingredients like flour, yeast, water and a pinch of salt; not a list of complicated ingredients like Sara Lee’s Soft & Smooth Whole Grain White Bread. As Pollan’s said in his essay “there are in fact hundreds of foodish products in the supermarket that your ancestors simply wouldn’t recognize as food.” (Pollan 2) Pollan wants to inform us about nowadays supermarket product, guiding the reader with his 4 main rules and indicating how to buy in a supermarket knowing about the FDA. I personally enjoy culinary, so

Kent’s work was a fusion of pop culture, consumer branding, and religious scripture. Often, the work focused on messages of activism, protest, and peace. Kent’s began producing art during the 1950’s. Kent's earlier work focused on portraying religious figures and symbols in a more traditional sense. As the 1960’s came along, Kent began to producing the serigraph work attributed to her name. During her career, Kent produced an enormous body of work. Kent had visions of a more progressive Vatican (Shaw) but eventually left the order. Corita Kent moved to Boston and established the Immaculate

“Bread Winners” is a painting that was created by Summer Wheat in 2016. This piece was created using acrylic on aluminum wire mesh. The reason why I had chosen this piece is because it stood out to me the most due to the artist’s use of space and color. The artist chose to use metallic acrylic paint on a black background and by doing so, gives a nice contrast and emphasis on the subject matter. The colors that are used in this piece are copper, silver, and gold. This entire painting is two-dimensional and was displayed without a bolder or frame.

Madeleine Thien’s “Simple Recipes” is a short story that depicts an immigrated family facing problems of cultural preservation; “Hills like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway portrays a couple facing difficulties in decision-making about their unplanned pregnancy. Despite the difference in plots and themes respectively, both stories discuss about relationships are being put at stake as a result of different factors emerge in the plot. In the two stories, competing values, problems with communication and lack of understanding between two people emerge as elements that can ruin a relationship. Therefore, the two stories reveal that selfishness is the initial and eventual cause for broken relationships.

1. I believe Panera Bread uses a focused differentiation strategy. It uses this strategy by offering meals that are healthier options than those of traditional fast food. It focuses in on a market of urban workers and suburban dwellers. Panera offers a variety of above average fast food which include: bakery items, classic/signature sandwiches, and soups to meet the needs and wants of all their customers.

Baking bead at home is absolutely worth it, and using a bread machine will significantly minimize the

Phoenix high School’s Culinary Arts class had a Ginger Bread competition on the 10th, 11th, 14th, 16th, and 17th of December. The whole purpose of this competition was for Mr. Janosek, the teacher of the Culinary Arts class to teach his students how to improvise, to demonstrate the students’ communication skills, and to work well with the teammates in each students group.

Along with Miss Pond every other student in the class where striving to win the prize for having the most unique Ginger Bread creation.

It was the day of the big game, and everyone was taking treats to school. My daughter decided to make banana bread. Although my recipe contained nuts, we decided to leave them out since some students in my daughter’s class were allergic to nuts. We made three kinds of banana bread, one with nuts, one with raisins, and one that was plain. The banana bread was a big

healthiest choice, however at the time I also was not educated nutritionally speaking. I wasn 't aware that multi grain bread in many ways is just as bad for the human body as the standard Italian bread that was offered. Most of their bread options at the time had sugar and are categorically speaking, simple carbohydrates which are harder to break down and burn than complex carbohydrates like broccoli or leafy greens. Imagine throwing a very heavy and thick log in a fire rather than a thinner or more combustible piece of wood, the thicker heavier log will take significantly longer to catch fire and burn than a piece that’s thinner and of lighter composition. That is the process in which simple carbs (thicker heavy log) versus complex carbs (lighter log) are burned, our bodies require greater effort of physical exertion to burn simple carbs than complex ones (Metabolic Center 2015). Another example of students lack of nutritional knowledge is that we assume that simply because fruit juice says it 's 100% juice or because something says it’s made of whole grains doesn’t mean it 's optimal for weight loss. Many college students are not educated well enough about the true nutritional composition about the food they eat and that the portions they ingest coming from these so called healthy foods have a large impact on them, sugar is still sugar and bread is still bread which is many people’s pitfall. I assumed that instead of drinking soda juice would be a better alternative, but
