Mr. Grubb and Mr. Mantalas are teaching us to eat healthy when they themselves aren’t eating as healthy as they could be. They are eating burritos and drinking a lot of coffee everyday, it’s like it’s part of their daily routine at school. They might do it at their house, but almost every student at Sherwood Middle School have seen both of them with a burrito at least once. Students have observed that they have an affinity to burritos.

This film has many protagonists. The main protagonist is Martin Naranjo. He is an accomplished chef who is a widower. He lives with his three adult daughters who are very beautiful, but remain single. Naranjo lost his wife approximately ten years prior to the setting of the film. Since then he has assumed the role of father and mother. Naranjo works as a chef fulfilling is fatherly role and he also does all of the cooking, cleaning and laundry fulfilling his motherly role. Naranjo maintains that on every Sunday, the family shares a meal to share their life experiences of the week with each other. The meal seems to be a tradition in that family that has been a part of the family’s ritual prior to the passing of the mother. Some of the daughters find the meal to be more of a punishment than an enjoyment. Martin for most of the film has lost his ability to taste the flavor in the food he creates. He relies at work upon his best friend and fellow chef, Gomez played by Julio Mechoso, for taste. Martin is the main protagonist as he demonstrates the most change. He lets go of his adult daughters, one at a time while gaining two more daughters, Eden the daughter of his much younger bride than he and his unborn child with the same, Yolanda.

One of the notable aspects of Matsumoto’s history of Cortez is a sentimental relationship that she has established with her subjects in the course of her studies. On the first page, she has named and thanked almost a hundred members of this community, for contributing their time in sharing memories, personal experiences, institutional records, and their warm hospitality. Hospitality of the Cortez community members also shines in Appendix C where she mentioned twenty-four recipes that she got from Japanese women. These recipes ranged from traditional Japanese foods to more conventional zucchini bread to some cross-cultural cuisines like Jell-O mocha.

Having learned about the common food and dietary practices in the Mexican culture, it seems quite challenging to teach dietary adjustments, especially if they are used to cooking and eating the same type of food for many years. My approach to this will be to suggest making slight variations or modifications on ingredients or food preparation methods, instead of teaching them to avoid eating a certain type of dish altogether.

When the Spanish viceroy comes for an unscheduled visit to the monastery, the cook goes into a frenzy. What will they feed this important ambassador to the king? Carlos, the orphan boy who works in the kitchen, tries to stay out of the way as lunch is hastily prepared, but his curiosity gets the best of him. His eagerness results in a moment of crisis, followed by what Brother Roberto can only assume is a miracle. This story, inspired by the Mexican folk tradition, explains the origins of mole, the popular national dish that combines chocolate with turkey, spices, and nuts."

Food is the substance that sustains the human body. Our bodies would perish without the nutrients we obtain from eating; however, there is more to food than simply the energy we gain from eating. The act of eating a meal is a sacred process, sometimes even ritualistic. Families around the world come together around the dinner table to laugh, talk, and reconnect. My family is one of those many, sharing meals at every occasion. Whether it is someone’s birthday, religious holiday or special event, my family never fails to seize the opportunity for eating dinner together. There is a plethora of food options that are generally eaten in my household. When choosing which one to write this final paper on, the choice, at first, was not clear. Each

I grew up in a little town call Tecate, Baja California just across from the U.S. border in Mexico. My parents, both borned in Mexico and lived in Tecate most of their lives, met and started to make their own little family.

My mom then took on the hobby on learning how to cook and make food from around the world. She enjoys it a lot and she makes the most delicious foods. But, the food that has always been the most delicious one is champurrado (thick Mexican hot chocolate). My grandma (mom’s mom) taught my mom how to make champurrado but, my mom can’t perfect it like my grandma’s. When champurrado was made in the house, it meant movie night, blankets, cold night, and the family together.

At 9:00 pm on July 10, I took my first steps in the country that would change my life forever. As my sister, grandma, and I stepped outside the airport into the hot, humid, and dark place, talking with my (simply put) cousins, Chicho and Mirza, I realized I was in the country my grandma and her family had grown up in; Panama. I met my grandma’s aunt, Luz, who made food I never tried before such as, yuca frita, plátanos, chicha de arroz con piña, arroz con gandules, arroz blanco, and chicken. There are different types of food Panama, including many I have never heard of.

Almost everything was perfect here in our own little kingdom. Our god created many great things, such as the beautiful angels which cared for us very much and always watched over us. However, no one knows how or when there appeared a little mexican baby. But this baby didn’t fit in our kingdom. This baby wasn’t any ordinary baby, she could walk, run, and talk. She was not nice nor grateful for the things she had. She was evil, and I mean evil! She would go around pulling the angels beautiful long braids that they had spent a long time doing, and manipulated people through social media and movies. She caused many problems around the kingdom and since she got there our little kingdom has never been the same. There have been rumors that she was in a family of nine. She had a mother, father, and six sisters, but they say she murdered them all with her long long nails which she loved. Now she has grown more evil than ever and all alone.

Saturday night dinners at my Nonna Margherita’s house involve thick, dense polenta, grainy rice overflowing with butter, and sauteed sauerkraut. Her entire meal is based on dairy. As we pass around the sweet apple strudel, my father talks softly to his parents in the even stranger dialect of their village, Tregiovo, in northern Italy. Although both of my grandmothers immigrated from Italy, their cuisine and language are very different because of their climate and location.
