Place of significants
Place of special significance Place that is significance to me is India, especially my grandparent’s house and the school that I attended when I lived in India at my grandparents house for several years. When I was five years old my parents sent me to study in India to learn about the traditions, food, culture, religion, and languages. While I was going to school in India I lived at my grandparent’s house. The house I lived in with my grandparents was a big nice two story house located in small village called Naugajja in Punjabi, India. The house it had six bedrooms big back yard. While living at my grandparent’s house I learned many things like traditions, foods culture and family. The most interesting tradition to me was the grandma’s traditional way to welcome the guests. It was the most unique way to welcome people I had ever seen. She would have wick made out of cotton wool lit with fire and placed in the in a bowl. A coconut filled with water, flowers, and incense was placed in a tray and she rotated the tray in circular motion in front of guest. She said the purpose of performing this is to ward off evil effects.it was really cool to learn a new tradition. Every Sunday morning my grandma made some Indian style home made tortillas they were called pranthas in Punjabi they were stuffed with the mash potatoes and spices and made with butter on a pan like pan cakes they tasted good. One day after I ate my breakfast on Sunday morning I asked my grandma how she makes them than she showed me and learned how she made them. It was hard to learn how to make them at first but after lots of practice I end up learning. After that almost every Sunday I learned something new to cook. Every Sunday afternoon my grandma would cook something special for lunch and would also teach me how to cook. One of my favorite dessert my grandma usually cooked on Sunday afternoons for lunch was called the (Zarda) Indian sweet rice dessert. These sweet rice are

With the time we had to spare I had some biscuits and gravy, and i devoured them in seconds and had some orange juice after.…

Just watching people come together enjoying each other and the food. Oh what smiles and joy food brings. This is why cooking is enjoyable. Great tasting healthy food creates an atmosphere of its own and can create relationships that will last a lifetime. Foods that inspire me to Cook The foods that inspire me to cook are simple foods, such as chicken and dumpling, eggplant chips, turkey wraps and, I love to prepare fresh corn from the cob. Homemade soups, and herb and garlic turkey. When I was growing up we always went to the farmer's market and bought fresh vegetables and my father had a hog and chicken farm. Since, we were raised preparing, and canning our vegetables, our family ate a lot of fresh grown foods, and we hardly used anything from a box.

    As my father crushed a tortilla chip into smaller bits on a napkin and picked up a medium-sized shard of the remains. He pinched one corner of the miniature chip with his thumb and index finger and dipped it into the bowl of the liquidy thing sitting in front of me. As he lifted the chip out of the bowl, he told me to open wide. I did as I was told and he placed the chip inside of my mouth. I close my tiny lips around it, tasting every crumb. I nodded in approval and reached for another shard of the crushed chip.…

Numerous factors have a paramount influence on who you are, and for myself, the place I was born adequately peaks the list. Indeed, I can claim that being born in California exposes people to a vast number of cultures. Also, there is a certain slower pace of life. Additionally, the scenery, as well as weather, is extremely beautiful. California’s diverse population, laid back lifestyle, scenery and weather have all played a piece in shaping the person I am…

    Salvadoran Culture

    Back then, I was very picky about what I ate. I only ate white rice, chicken nuggets, and pizza, which were all very bad for me. But now that I am all grown up, I am not as picky than I was as a child, and I feel more in touch with my culture now. I am Salvadoran, which people mistakenly think I am Mexican or some other race, and one food I love from El Salvador is pupusas. They are like a very thick tortilla stuffed with beans, pork, and cheese and you put hispanic coleslaw on top and pour red sauce on top of, yet I only the pupusa by itself. I remember my mom tried to make pupusas and it wasn’t like the ones we had at Salvadorian restaurant because this one had love. The first time she made it was awful, it was very dry and the beans were leaking out off the tortilla because she did not have that right corn flour to make it with. Though the food was really bad, all I remember was having fun and making a mess in the kitchen. But the next couple of times, they turned out a lot better. Also recently during Christmas, my mom has been making my great grandmother’s turkey recipe for that last five years, which consists of twenty tomatoes! I love this recipe so much that I wish one day that I could replicated.…

    There is a sweet story related to Mung rice noodle. When I was in the primary school, my mother usually got up half an hour earlier than me to make Mung rice noodle as my breakfasts. She could always make new flavors to surprise me. I was extremely curious that why she could make so many flavors, and I asked her. She looked at me mysteriously: “ if I make the same flavor all the way, you will be bored at breakfasts, that is not a good habit”. At that time,…
