Personal Narrative: A Day At Kroger

“What’s that green stuff?” I asked my mom as she piled some noodles onto my dad’s plate. I tried a piece of the mysterious substance, skewering it on my fork, and recoiling at the creamy, earthy taste. It was too fatty, strangely nutty, and most of all, too green.

As we were leaving we saw a sign for a frosty on sale for 1 dollar. We went into Wendy’s and waited in line forever, or what seemed like it. When we finally got our frosty’s they were so good. I got chocolate and my sister, Mara got vanilla. I love chocolate anything and everything. The frosty’s

At the beginning of this school year, I began to realize something. I realized that my high school years were coming to an end. This was an eye opener for me. I didn't know what to expect of my last year nor what I wanted to do after high school. I then began looking for a job. So I applied to Chick-fil-a. I waited patiently several weeks for a call, but received no call whatsoever. I patiently waited for a new opportunity to come along. Until finally, I was given an opportunity at an electrical shop. On the first day of work I was introduced to the staff and learned the procedures of what needed to be done. My job now was to maintain the shop clean and to keep all materials organized as well as other tasks that helped me grow with my skills.

Have you ever been to Dave and Busters It is so cool. It is so fun because my brother, sister, and cousin work there and there is ice cream and hamburgers.

I really wanted to get a bunch of candy but my mom and dad said no. So my friend said try a pickle pop. So I said “sure” because I didn't want to be mean. So my friend got me one and I sat down and stared at it for a little bit. Then I was like JUST DO IT. So I licked and licked it and licked it because I couldn't get a taste because my taste buds were messed up and then I took a really big bit and it was juicy and slimy and a little bit sour. It was the worst thing I have ever tasted.

a cheesesteak sub, fries and a sprite. I came to a red light where out the corner of my right eye a

When I was working at Target there were two mangers that I was to train and help if they needed it. The conflict was that they come in and changed everything in our stations. Which was uncomfortable due to that I had more experience and was working there longer. Nothing work well within the ream after that point.

the warm syrup, and ranch smothering some golden fries with cheddar cheese melted over them. I started eating my burrito, at first I didn’t know if I would finish it but as I ate each bite tasted better and better. It took me a while but I was able to finish the burrito. we sat there and talked for a good forty-five minutes or so, we sang a few songs, and figured we were probably making the employees mad, so we got our tickets, and went up to pay. I glanced at the check as I handed it to the woman and noticed she didn’t even charge me for the pie, i figured it wasn’t a big deal so I didn’t mention anything. We all paid and headed out to the car. As we drove back to Grant’s house we jammed out to some NWA and tried to dodge some cops since it was past curfew. we got back to the house, watched a few movies and all I could think about was that amazing

We stopped at Kum and Go. Tyler and I each got a cream soda and sour and sweet gummy worms, while Gavin also got a Cream Soda, but got Mike and Ike’s instead. We got back in the car, and we were off to the Timberwolves game! A few minutes into the trip, Tyler told us that he had brought a game, called Bean Boozled. Gavin and I had both heard of the game, and we were pretty excited to play it. Basically, it’s a game where there are a bunch of different flavors of jellybeans, and there's either a good flavor of jellybean or a bad one, even though the jellybeans look exactly the same. For example, one of the jellybeans is flavored “Booger”, and the other one is flavored “Juicy Pear. We started playing, and I got a few good ones and a few bad ones. It was going pretty good until I got the flavor “Moldy Cheese”, and I hated it. I would say that the “Moldy Cheese” is horrible and the worst flavor of jellybean. For some reason, whenever a “Moldy Cheese”A jelly bean goes into my mouth, there’s this terrible taste, and it makes me want to spit the jelly bean out right away, and………..almost barf! fews jellybeans later, I got the same jellybean. I was hoping that the flavor would be “Caramel Popcorn”, but guess what? It was “Moldy Cheese”! Luckily, I had the cream soda to get the taste out of my mouth a little bit, but I could still taste it a little. At this point, Tyler and Gavin were having much better luck with their jellybeans than I was. I decided that was it for me, because I didn’t want to risk getting any more “Moldy Cheeses”. I quit the game. Gavin and Tyler kept playing, though, and they were having fun. Part of me wanted to jump back into `the game, but I felt that it was safest to avoid the “Moldy Cheeses”. Eventually, the game was finished, and we all knew that it was pretty fun, except for some of the bad flavors that we got. For the rest of the ride, we just

The 2011 documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi by the American director David Gelb is about an 85-year old sushi master named Jiro Ono and his Michelin 3-star rated restaurant Sukiyabashi Jiro in a Tokyo subway station. Like many films about food, Jiro Dreams of Sushi shows artfully arranged and delicious-looking sushi with a tasteful background of classical music. Naturally, after watching a movie about sushi, anyone would want to make a reservation and book a flight to Japan. However, there is more to this documentary than the food alone. The story of Jiro 's quest to perfect the craft of making sushi and presenting it in his restaurant for the

The original type of sushi was developed in Southeast Asia and spread to south China before being introduced to Japan sometime around the 8th century. Fish was salted and wrapped in fermented rice. A type of dish called Narezushi was made of this gutted fish which was stored in fermented rice for months at a time for preservation. The fermentation of rice prevented the fish from spoiling. The fermented rice was later discarded and the fish was the only part consumed. But few people saw throwing the rice was a waste and so decided to eat the rice with the sushi. Thus sushi was

I eventually grew to like the taste in later years. The incorporation of these childhood 'treats' came be seen in the food diary that I kept. They had become a familiar part of my diet as I began to demonstrate brand loyalty. I had a preference of KFC over Burger King and McDonalds, Pizza Hut over Pizza Pizza, etc.
