It’s Monday night, and you just got home from work.
You’re too exhausted to actually cook a decent meal, so you reach into the freezer and pull out a frozen dinner from the back.
Your stomach rumbles.
You open the box and pull out your steak and potatoes or lasagna or whatever and …
… Noooo!
Freezer burn.
Everything’s covered in a thick layer of stale-smelling ice crystals, and you know your dinner is ruined.
It’s a common thing. No matter how well it’s been packaged, any food left in the freezer too long is eventually going to end up as appealing as dead Tauntaun on Hoth.
Why, you ask?
Because the frozen water molecules in your steak, ice cream, or bag of corn want to find the coldest place they can, which typically isn’t inside
It was a special kind of ice. . . . Sometimes it hardened and seemed to expand until I felt my guts were going to come spilling out or that I was going to choke or scream” (Baldwin 180).... ... middle of paper ... ...
“Straining his eyes, he saw the lean figure of General Zaroff. Then... everything went dark. Maggie woke up in her bed. “Finally woke up from that nightmare. Man… I miss my brother. Who was that person that my brother wanted to kill?” she looks at the clock and its 9:15am “Crap I’m late for work!” Maggie got in her car and drove to the hospital for work.
Do not let temperature-sensitive food like dairy products and raw fish or meat sit out in the open kitchen for long. They get spoilt and spread germs around.

The Big Freeze article discussed the detrimental effects that frost and freezes can have on agriculture and plant production. The article went on to provide examples of devastating frost and freezing events that wiped out agricultural yields and the dollar amounts that came with it. What confused me is that the article only explains the cost that was lost, they do not discuss the other impacts that a loss in crop yield had. Such as food shortages, it seems in our society those in power only consider money as a driving force. I wonder if anyone went hungry because of a heavy reliance on grocery stores. I learned that damage occurs due to water inside the plant freezing. I learned the difference between a frost and a freeze. These two can cause
Pressure on the ice reduces the melting point. If pressure is afterward reduced, water will freeze again. This is called regelation. When a player skates across the ice, he or she applies a lot of pressure, leaving a trail of water where the blades were. Because the pressure leaves quickly, the water freezes to ice again (Haché 22). Nevertheless, pressure is not the only factor that causes this melting. Friction also takes part because it creates heat. With help...
“Hey, are you hungry at all? I am. Thought I’d cook something up if you were too—?”
Before sitting down, we decided to get our food first. I made sure to grab a lot of turkey but, to also take sides I will eat. I didn’t want to throw away half a plate of stuffing and cranberry sauce. With a plate full of turkey and vegetables, Sam and I pulled up a couple chairs on the far end of the table.
O, that this too too solid flesh would . Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!
I take the turkey and set it on the counter. Then I grab the Buttermilk White bread, freshly made by my mom. She’s like Martha Stewart, you know. She grows the wheat herself. She uses some kind of mill we have in the back yard to grind it into flour. We have a cow. She milked it herself. Then she made the buttermilk to put into the bread. Anyway, that’s off the subject.
Imagine going camping for more than a week with several of your close friends. You would make sure you have plenty of food and the gear to cook and eat it with. The food would have to be stored properly and be nonperishable to avoid spoilage. After finishing your meal, or at the end of your camping trip, you would then stow all your gear and dispose of your trash properly just before the ride home . Astronauts do the same thing when they go to space. Special laboratory such as Skylab, International Space Station (ISS) and National Astronautic and Space Administration (NASA) prepares the food for the astronauts to take on their voyage. Over the decades, astronaut’s food has improved greatly. In studying astronaut food, we are presented with
It’s time for lunch and I was starving, so I ate and when I was finished, I headed down to
I grab the pizza and shove it in my mouth, immediately regretting it. "Holy frick that is so hot, oh my God," I shriek, spitting out the pizza into a napkin while my family looks at me in annoyance. Why are they annoyed I burnt myself? Oh right, this literally happens almost everyday.
Imagine after a long day of school and work, you come home, hang your backpack up on the wall, take your shoes off and take in a deep breath. The smell of mom’s homemade garlic bread fills the air. You follow your nose to the origin of that delicious smell; there on the stove is a boiling pot of spaghetti and the meatballs simmering in a copper pot. To go along with the spaghetti mom made a fresh salad and homemade apple cobbler for dessert. Your mom tells you dinner will be ready in an hour and that seems like a lifetime. Although going out to a fancy dinner or even a quick stop on the way home can be fun and easy sometimes, there is nothing better than a home cooked meal that is not only cleaner, fresher, more engaging,
