Tomato Monologue
Everyone has a thought. Every man, woman, and child are capable of thinking. Our minds allow us to think which then produces thoughts. Our thoughts are messages to ourselves. These thoughts typically consist of opinions and ideas. We all possess this common trait, and yet our thoughts can vary from person to person. Moreover, these thoughts may differ even when raised in the same environment.
What goes on in the mind of others? Do they think and act like me? Or, are their ideas and mannerisms different from mine? I loathe the idea of not knowing. Does an orange have the same feel (texture) in the hands of someone else? The smooth dimpled rind, almost like a plump, squishy baseball. Or, is it simply an "orange." The way one plunges

Before long, my family member told me “I am tired of spaghetti, can you cook something else for me?” I complied and gave some thought into what else might be enjoyable. I eventually gave thought to a tomato basil entree. The warm blush red color of the soup complemented the fragrant sweet smell of star anise. I presented the tomato basil entree to my family member only to hear “could you make come spaghetti to go with this?"
Some would say that the solution to my problem would be to ask how people feel or how they would describe something. However, this is not as easy at it may seem. People tend to struggle to express how they feel, including me. There are times I would ask someone what he or she felt like doing. Some would respond with "I do not know," while others may reply with "what do you want to do?" People tend not to know what they want or would rather not say in fear of being denied or criticized. When it comes to describing something, many factors play a role in explaining what something feels, tastes, smells, sounds and looks like. When we observe colors, this becomes especially true. The time of day, indoor lighting, language barriers, and even biology can affect how we perceive and describe

    People within the party were asked about additional condiments needed to complement their order. All orders were delivered and simultaneously served, piping hot and very aromatic to the table. I ordered the BBQ Shrimp Po boy and my mom ordered the half crab sandwich with a cup of corn and crab bisque. My God, the sandwich was so good. The 8inch french bread was crisp on the outside and soft inside. The BBQ shrimp were cooked to a delicious peak with a combination of spices and herbs that enhanced the flavor complimented by light mayo stuffed inside the French bread. As I anticipated, it was a feast for the palate, hot and exactly as I ordered.…

    During the 1950s, two immigrant Italian brothers, Primo and Secondo are trying to face the difficulties of running a restaurant. Primo is a master chef who serves culinary delights every night.

    Where do our thoughts originate by, Tsahi Rosenbluth, is about learning what stages your thoughts go through and where your thoughts originate. Have you ever wondered where your thoughts originate from? Well if you have thought they come from your physical brain you are incorrect. They originate from the outside of our bodies. Our thoughts enter the brain from a source outside of the physical body. Our thoughts pass through three stages. The first stage is an inborn trait, or potential. The second stage is Understanding. In this stage we analyze the thoughts we have received and try to adapt them to our own unique and individual world of concepts. The third stage is Realization. This stage acts on the original thought and directs…

    The waiter was a kind lady, who immediately gave my dad and I good-looking bread. When I put the bread into my mouth, an explosion of buttery, juicy bread excited my taste buds. It was only a couple minutes in, and I already liked the food. When the waiter came back, my dad had asked the waiter what were some good appetizers to devour on. She stated that the papa rellena, tamal en hoja, and tostones rellenos were good foods to try. I was curious why she chose these three, but when they came and I put them in my mouth, I understood why. They each had their own unique taste, with the papa rellena being my favorite one. It was so interesting and tasty how they stuffed beef into a potato. For the main course, I decided to try something different and amusing. I ordered a rabo encendido, which is the tail of an ox. Even though it sounds disgusting, it was surprisingly good, with a soft, beefy-like taste to it. My dad ordered arroz con pollo, which when arrived at our table was like a mountain of rice. I must say that for the first time in my life, I didn’t have room for desert. In the end, my dad and I brought boxes of left over Cuban food home, both agreeing that the food was worth the price.…
