Boiled Pumpkin Food
Obviously, we have to fuel our bodies with food and drink to keep us alive. However, eating is a matter of taste that why we have a rich variety of foods along our country. My favorite food is vegetable, more particularly, I love “Boiled Pumpkin Shoots.”

In terms of food, technically we can eat most parts of pumpkin trees from flesh, seeds, flowers, young leaves, to tender shoots. Boiled pumpkin shoots have green color as you may know and being prepared in small parts that suit our mouths. If you eat only boiled pumpkin shoots, you will feel soft, watery, fresh, and slightly sweet. Yet, if you use it with blended sauce (a blend of garlic, red chilies, ginger, sugar, and fish sauce), then you will feel a bit spicy, and aromatic from the combination

    It’s a warm evening in late October, and all but one has prepared for the great celebration. Today is the day I’m taking my daughter to the biggest pumpkin patch in all of San Diego. It has all kinds of great things for kids to do. Slides, mazes, and all other kinds of fun stuff will be waiting for my sweet little Evie and she’ll be thrilled when we bring back a great big orange pumpkin that she gets to carve into whatever she likes. She gets a kick out of all the little things which makes me flashback to my childhood whenever I take a glance at her. It feels like just a minute ago where I was six years old going to my first pumpkin patch that I could remember ever so detailed . Particularly I remember this specific day where my mom and I were driving to the pumpkin patch right across the street from my first house in California.…

    Most significant moments in our lives can also be associated with food. The birth of a child inspires loved ones to stockpile the new parents' kitchen with congratulatory blessings of scrumptious casseroles and desserts. Mandatory sugary confections commemorate birthdays and anniversaries. A couples' new life together is first celebrated with slews of edible delights and ostentatious cakes. Tragically, even death is marked with food furnished out of love and sympathy for the family. In the lives of most American's, the food that is supposed to provide sustenance can also provide so much more. Food can be an experience, companionship, satisfaction, comfort, and even intoxication. When my marriage ended, food took up residence to occupy the new hole in my life.…
