Let’s have a light lunch so that we can pig out at Duane’s party tonight. I just love the Caribbean food he serves!” Elizabeth replied. “I’ll order. What do you want?” Charonda asked. “I love cheeseburgers! I gotta watch my weight and my cholesterol level now. Looks like the pounds came on over winter. What are you having? I’ll follow your example, skinny girl,” Elizabeth observed. “Two slices of cheese pizza, a large garden salad, and an iced tea,” Charonda replied. “A diet ice tea, I bet,” remarked Elizabeth. “Nah, artificial sweeteners taste awful,” Charonda replied. “Yeah, nothing like the real stuff. I’ll have the same, but I like spicy. Two slices of pepperoni pizza, a taco salad, and a grape soda for me. I love ranch dressing, but don’t bring any for me … too many calories,” Elizabeth requested. As they sat down to eat, Elizabeth looked around at the other diners and observed. “Crowded huh; salads seem to be popular today.” “Yeah, that time of the year. Doesn’t hurt to lose the few pounds gained over winter—swimsuit season coming up,” Charonda opined. “Looks like I have to do that too. You know, I tried several times to lose weight but it is so hard,” confessed Elizabeth. “Yeah, I know it’s tough,” agreed Charonda. “Look at that lady with the two kids in the corner table.

Dorothy Allison, well-known author and essayist, begins her essay by discussing how she remembers her mother’s gravy and the process of making it, including the pounding of the meat in order to flatten it out. She adds pathos by saying gravy is the “most memory-laden dish” she has learned how to cook and the comfort it brings. Instead of calling it country-fried steak as others normally do, Allison’s mother calls the savory dish cube steak, a more underprivileged name. Allison says, “It was not until I was grown that I understood

Jenkins shares involved the things her family did when she was younger. Mama Nan, her grandmother, grew fig trees in her yard, which was near a field of berries. She would get her fruits and vegetables from the local farmers’ market in Luling. Mrs. Jenkins remembers canning figs and peaches with her mother. When Mrs. Jenkins moved to Houma, her mother would go to Dugas, the local market place, located on Division Street, to purchase her fresh fruits and vegetables. Mama would make a rustic vegetable soup with her fresh cabbage, shallots, corn, parsley, and snap beans; adding a little tomato sauce for color and some noodles for extra starch, Mama’s soup was the ultimate get well dish. Aunt Ducky made homemade pies: apple, lemon, and sweet potato; her pies made for the best of desserts. These days many fruits and vegetables are shipped internationally to our supermarkets, where we can find frozen pies and canned goods including fruits, vegetables, and even readymade soup. Though commercialization has helped save time, the quality has diminished and the title is still held in the traditional preparations. It is as if you can taste the

“Don't listen to him,” her mother says, taking her hand and leading her inside the small house, closing the door on him. “He'll come around, Awen, you'll see. Please, sit down. We have so much to get caught up on, and I just put dinner in the oven.”

"It's okay, will put you on antibiotics, until your wounds fully heal, okay?" My aunt asks him.

“Oh,” Lela said not noticing for a second what she was talking about, she snuck in a tiny laugh, “this is how I eat everything, Mrs. Johnson.” she said cheerfully. She formed her best smile to be extra

Through the means of her own experiences, Jill McCorkle uses Her Chee-to Heart to express the happiness that many get from padding their faces with junk food. To convince readers truly of this level of happiness, McCorkle uses an extraordinarily visceral form of writing, and sends readers on a gluttonous expedition, making them crave for almost every single food that she so zealously describes and mentions. McCorkle starts her piece of literature off with her “perfect day”, describing the mannerisms of every food she would indulge in, to intentionally provoke an unhealthy yearning for fatty foods. Then, she spends the next few pages continually alluring the readers’ ravenous stomachs, by establishing a certain type of zest. Readers become hungrier

Thus, this story commences with a typical school day for Mrs. Hefner at Virginia College at Montgomery Alabama.
