Nicole’s First Narrative I could hear the clicking of a computer as I groggily walked downstairs to the kitchen. My dad was working at home this morning. He asked if I wanted a cream cheese bagel or something new. I’m not a bagel person so I asked for something new. Turns out it was still a bagel, but a bagel with toasted cheese and pastrami is still way better than cream cheese. My dad turned on the stove and started his new bagel "creation.” Tired, I leaned agi, but super excited. It was nice to be able to cook on the first day, I could take my mind off of things. Like my worries about middle school. The fears looming above me, waiting. Cooking was an excellent distraction from that. My dad loves to cook, and I always love being his …show more content…
They’re harder, but still fun. Most of these jobs were not available today. The bagels we were making didn’t need much preparation like that. I still love cooking, and I learn a lot from helping my dad cook too. I jumped at the chance to help today, even though I was still groggy. A chef's assistant is still an awesome job to …show more content…
Not used to being alone in the mornings, I didn’t feel quite right. Still, today was starting out great, I just hoped it stayed that way. First came the cheese, my dad grabbed the bag from next to him. He took two handfuls of shredded cheese for two piles, starting to melt them in the pan. As soon as the touched the pan, they started to heat up. A sizzling sound filled the quiet kitchen. Listening, I waited to start my day with my favorite part, breakfast. Breakfast is my main motivator in the mornings and gives me energy to get ready. It's hard to get up from under my soft blanket, and out of my comfy bed. The only thing that can get me out is hunger, and the promise of food downstairs. In the mornings I'm always so tired, which might have been one of the reasons I couldn't get out of bed. But with a nice breakfast cooking, I am almost ready to start my day. My mouth was already watering, just watching the cheese sizzle. In the mornings, I'm not usually hungry. Standing behind the stove, I was ready to help, and definitely ready to eat. I watched as the piles of cheese continued to melt into a melted mess splattered inside the pan. I waited as he grabbed the bagels from behind
The fact that the soup was cold shocked him; he noted that this was the first food he truly noticed. He also admits that before this moment, food has never been anything more to him than the act of eating it. Additionally, Bourdain emphasizes the importance of this memory by stating how he remembers everything about the experience. Furthermore, he acknowledges that this was his first discovery that food was more than just food.
Since beginning Penn Foster, it has been a challenge to balance out all my reasonability’s as an adult. From working 40 hours a week at my local Walmart, to volunteering a few hours of each day at my local SPCA. My life is full of chaos. I rarely get any “me” time and when I do I am trying to finish up my assignments. Working at Walmart is not really stressful, granted we are a very high volume store but all I really do is stock shelves, and assist customers when needed. The stressful part becomes before I actually make any money. My Walmart schedule is 1 pm till 10 pm. So bright and early, 8 am I am up on my way to the
She had always loved food and enjoyed learning how to make it. In fact, when she was little, she would watch her mom bake these delicious pastries and want to do the same. Fast forward to the end of senior year, she arrived at The Culinary Institute of
I arrived at my grandma’s house in bewilderment. The smell of flavored pork and freshly made red sauce wafted out of the windows and rose with the sound of laughter. The family was already there: all four of my aunts elbow deep into bowls of chicken, pork, sauces; my cousins and a couple of uncles with rolled up sleeves spreading

Breakfast has been considered as the important meal to begin the day. Majority of parents and educators preferred their child and students to take breakfast to enhance their academic’s performance. Breakfast can be defined as, first meal of the day, taken before or at the start of daily activities, usually not later than 10.00 a.m (Giovannini et. al. 2008). According to Robinson, (1968), Burton, (1976) Wells, (1981) “The concern is based on the common belief that mental and physical performance are below optimal by mid-morning if no breakfa...
Many of us have our coffee in the morning on an empty stomach. In fact, some of us even brag that our coffee IS our breakfast.
I slowly turned the nob and opened the door. I had been out for nearly six hours and missed dinner. Am I ready for this? No! I had only taken two steps into the kitchen then BAM,
Breakfast is one of the best ways to recharge your batteries. It is a perfect time to boost your energy. Studies also suggest that eating a healthy breakfast improves brain function particularly memory and recall. This is essential for soaking up new knowledge and applying it later for a big test. Research shows that eating a healthy breakfast improves one academically. Scientists believe it may be because breakfast supplies nutrients to the nervous system to rev up brain power.

Also, those who eat a morning meal tend to make healthier food choices throughout the day, which can positively impact weight and long-term health. Encourage eating breakfast daily at home or school and make it easy and
day. For many people, one of the first things they do when they wake up, is to cook.
According to the United States Census Bureau, there are approximately 250 million people in the United States. Having knowledge that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, 35-40 percent of Americans skip breakfast. Without breakfast, some people become less able to do physical work in the late morning hours and some students do not perform well in the classroom. When one skips breakfast, their body shuts down their metabolism in an attempt to preserve what it contains, which causes drowsiness. Since metabolism accounts for approximately 70 percent of the body’s energy expenditure, the consumption of a healthy first meal of the day is encouraged. There are many reasons why breakfast should be a part of people’s everyday diet, but some people just do not have time to eat breakfast.

Now that the food was almost done it was time to get ready. I let the Alfredo simmer while I went to take a nice steaming, hot shower. After about 15 minutes, I got out and dried off, then I went to my room to get dressed. I picked out ...
When I first learned to cook about six years ago, there were no magazine articles or books in bookstores explaining how to cook; there were only cookbooks with recipes for one to decipher. Today, the articles and books that explain how to cook are minimal. Not everyone can compete with Julia Child in cooking gourmet food with the menu devised in our minds without referring to cookbooks, but many of us can learn to cook effectively. A step-by-step process should be followed to learn how to cook successfully.
