My Mom's Thanksgiving Dinner

Food is a part of my culture because my family, for the most part, is pretty healthy and we like traditional foods also. We have lutefisk for dinner on special holidays like Christmas I think it is terrible, but my family likes it. My grandpa always makes sausages for any Holiday and everyone knows he is going to bring them because he makes the best in the world I think. When I grow up I want to be a chef and most the time I make food for dinner. For Christmas last year my parents

In my family, dinner is a big part of our lives because I can relax and talk about what I have done in the day. Also, realistically, dinner is the best time of the day

We changed out of our church clothes and into what we would be wearing for dinner. My Grandma and I entered the kitchen and began preparing her famous dish. Before we began, we gathered all of the ingredients. Our first step was cooking the macaroni. We boiled the entire sixteen-ounce pack of whole-grain elbow macaroni for ten minutes. After checking to ensure that the noodles were soft, we drained them in the sink. We put the cooked noodles to the side until we needed them again. We blended one egg, two cups of milk, one teaspoon of sugar, one teaspoon of mustard, two ounces of butter, one teaspoon of black pepper, one half of a small onion blended, one teaspoon of corn starch, and one half cup of cheese together in the blender. Once the mixture of ingredients became liquefied, we poured half of it, half of the macaroni and a half of a cup of cheese into a pot. We moved the pot onto the stove and allowed it to simmer until contents of the pot became to bubble. Next we greased a casserole container. We moved half of our mixture on the stove into the casserole dish and layered it with cheese. Once that step was complete, we gently sprinkled some of the liquid mixture on top of the cheese. These steps were repeated twice until the entire casserole container was filed with two layers of macaroni noodles and the liquid mixture. Some people refer to this way of preparing Mac-n-Cheese as Macaroni Pie, due to the layers.

“A Family Supper” by Kazuo Ishiguro follows a story about a man returning to his home in Japan after World War II to reconcile with his family after his mother’s death. The story demonstrates that losing loved ones bring out different sides of people. This is shown by the narrator’s father, a cold, stern man who is very proud of his noble samurai blood that begins softening up in old age in effort to reconnect with his family after losing them all to different causes.

One of the hardest things about moving to Little Rock for college is knowing that I will not get to enjoy southern home cooked meals everyday. My grandma’s crispy pork chops with fried potatoes, and creamy macaroni and cheese and freshly picked green beans, from the garden in the backyard, or her homemade vegetable soup and buttered cornbread really screams my name as I stand in line for a standard cafeteria meal. Not having her cooking available to me everyday is definitely a struggle. Food is the center of my whole family. Food is what brings us together. Not just ordinary food though, no. It is southern home cooked food.

When the counters were are all cleaned up and everything is warm and just out of the oven, it's time to have Thanksgiving dinner. We all sat down with the windows cracked just enough for the cool breeze to swirl around the room. Chatters fill the room as family members catch up on life. After a prayer, we all eat the amazing food prepared by our grandma and mom. It tasted so good, just like every Thanksgiving dinner.

Ever since I can remember food has been one of the strongest links that brought my family together. My cousins and

Teachers have exposed students to different stories about the pilgrims. Textbooks picks one reason and presents them as facts. Different stories have been told for example the hijacking story, how the pilgrims adopted the Mayflower to avoid rebellion. The Pilgrims are described as a “pious and moral band who laid the antecedents of our democratic tradition.” (6- Loewen) They are also described as Christian, sober, democratic, generous to the Indians, God thanking. Apparently, these could not be true. Historians have chosen to omit the facts and not talk about the African slaves, Spanish and Indians. The Pilgrims arrived in Massachusetts

The Meaning Of Food Around the holidays I have three things on my mind: family, presents and delicious food. Speaking of food I usually look forward to my mother's delicious tamales. Every year me and my brothers sit down to make tamales. My mother's exquisite tamales have so many flavors. She starts by making a red chili sauce and a green chili verde sauce to cook the meat in. Next me and my brothers spread out the masa which is a type of corn dough, which we spread on corn husks.

Every family has their own unique way of spending time together with loved ones only seen during the holidays. In the Stock home, there is only one thing we enjoy doing. Sure, like every other family we have our grand and elaborate dinner, which is composed of all the greatest delicacies my mother and grandmother can whip up. Of course, as is expected,

The Wampanoag brought popcorn to the first Thanksgiving feast. Basically this myth means that on the first thanksgiving the Wampanoag brought popcorn to the first Thanksgiving. The truth about this myth is that they actually didn’t bring popcorn. There’s nothing true about this myth there’s the Wampanoag’s didn’t bring popcorn simple as that. It reveals that people are easily tricked if they believed this myth. And there mindset is easy to be changed.

We set up a large table for the food. By dinner time the table is filled with different foods from American to Mexican to even Italian. We all gather around the table to say grace, and propose a toast. Then we all line up to get food. I always try to get a little bit of everything, this way I know what everything tastes like and what to get for seconds. Last year one of my aunts made Mexican smoked barbecue ribs. I couldn't stop eating them, they were amazing! They were seasoned with her very own rub which consisted of plain slat, garlic, and cayenne pepper. They had this beautiful reddish glazed look, I just couldn't

Many people have a turning point when they decide they need to workout. Either there doctor tells them they need to, they look in the mirror and don’t like what they see, or they just want to better themselves. My turning point came when I was at my cousin's’ house for Thanksgiving. My brother and my cousins were all climbing up on hay bales but I couldn’t because I was chunky and not strong enough to climb up the hay bales. As a young kid this made me feel awful because they were having fun and taunting me because I couldn’t climb up there with them and I had to stand on the ground and watch them have all the fun. From this point on I decided that I did not want to be chunky any longer, and I wanted to be stronger than everyone else in my

There are holidays in every culture where the food is the focal point. For example, the most important tradition involving food in the U.S. is Thanksgiving. According to a 2015 poll, 95% of people in the U.S. spend Thanksgiving with their families.“Thanksgiving by the Numbers.” Fox Business, Fox Business, 23 Nov. 2016. This is because people in the U.S. grew up making memories with their families, and they want to make more memories with their children.
