https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj Looking for your thoughts as you write your autobiography. How are you feeling? If you'd like, share a family recipe that you really enjoy so we can all try it! en-us 2021-08-16 22:33:46 UTC 2026-01-24 17:22:46 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1850425173 Writing is something I struggle with no matter the subject. However writing about about myself seems impossible, what could possibly be important? Or even interesting for someone to read. As of right now, I only have my outline. Next I am going to go in and start creating my paragraphs, then making the paper. A traditional recipe from my parents hometown. The plate is served at any Mexican party with a side of pork beans and a pasta. The plate includes pork meat, and potatoes. The taste is unexplainable, but one of my personal favorite. 
I’ll add the ingredients lists below: Do not forget to add a side of pork bean and a pasta.


Costilla de res
Chambarete con hueso o sin hueso
Papa cabray 
Zanahoria
Chile poblano
Comino
Ajo
Orégano 
Consomé en polvo
Pimienta
Salal 
Brandy
Chile ancho


You will mix all the chiles in a blender and then boil the meat and potatoes in a big pot.

Usually my outline would be listings of evidences that I can use for my paper and then I would literate how it will support the prompt, such as explaining what that quote or piece of evidence means. Having an outline helps me get an idea of what I am writing and mainly plans out the actual structure of each paragraph because I can't write a paper on the spot like some people do. I haven't actually started because I sorta forgot about it, but I'll plan on working it before the due date and that once I have the outline/rough draft planned, writing for me will be second nature for me. As for a family recipe, my grandma is usually the one that is the hardcore cooker within my family, but one of my favorite dishes from her is the sea-food Mexican styled dish, Ceviche. Normally, this dish would be perfect for the summer time, but I love dish in general. Regarding to the taste, it depends on how it is made, such as one person may like it spicy or sweet, but for me, I preferably love it when its sweet. 

Ingredients: 
- Limes 
-Shrimp 
- Cilantro
- Cucumber
- Tomatoes
- White/Red Onions
-  2x Tamato & Shrimp Cocktail Juice (Camaronazo) p.s. this is what gives its' sweet flavor* 
- Imitation of Crab 
- Eat it with a spoon or with Tostadas

It has been my strongest subject in school ever since I was young. With that being said, writing about yourself however can be tough, I struggle with how much I should write, how personal should I get, how detailed should I get, etc. Every time I write a paper related to my life; whether its a personal statement, autobiography or anything that depicts my life; I cry. Its therapeutic afterwards and it makes me appreciate my life that much more but it is definitely hard to do. 
A traditional plate and one of my favorites is chilaquiles, which is fried tortilla chips dipped in green or red salsa accompanied with refried beans, cheese, sour cream, a couple strands of onion and a well-cooked or sunny-side up egg accompanied with a side of toast. I absolutely love it it is my favorite brunch/breakfast Mexican plate. (P.S. if you cut and fry your own tortilla chips instead of using bought fried tortilla chips your chilaquiles taste soooooo much tastier.)]]> 2021-10-29 06:34:19 UTC https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1853320898 anagarcia1111 https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1855105973 I always freak out when it comes to writing. I personally believe writing is my weakness. I mainly get good grades when it comes to the score, but I have trouble. Truly I have not started, but I do plan to start very soon. I believe I work good under pressure. I was reading the questions. It seems very interesting I am kinda excited to write about myself. Although, I do not know if there is enough information to write about. 
Quite frankly, I do not cook at all. I mean I have cooked eggs and that is about it. Pancakes when I was smaller, but my mom hates cooking. She also hates when we cook in her kitchen. So, I will be sharing my favorite food which is ramen and sushi. I want to learn to  cook, but my mom does not allow for anyone to cook in her kitchen. ]]> 2021-10-30 03:51:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1855105973 kaaaarely11 https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1855165763 Growing up I've always loved writing papers especially if its something I'm really interested in. I have not yet started writing my autobiography but I will be starting on it soon. When it comes to writing about myself I absolutely love it because that's when I feel free I get to express my emotions, feelings and thoughts. It's also a type of stress reliever for me because I'm able to let it all out. Although, sometimes I try not to put too much information about myself in a paper but sometimes that's just the best thing to do because you let it all out. 
A family recipe we have would be panes rellenos it is a Salvadorian dish. My mom typically only makes this once a year and that's on New Years eve. Its basically like a torta you need bread, mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickle, radish and turkey.

I feel confident to write or speak about my life and opinions. I think we can all relate one way or another. Never trying to underestimate the other person just trying to connect with others. 

We are soo used to cooking at home and making traditional foods that i really can't pin point a family recipe. I do love moms posole, we can eat posole all week, her secret ingredient is love! ]]> 2021-10-31 01:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1856067939 https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1856176735 I always loved the idea of a family recipe being passed down from generation to generation especially when it stays as good as it taste throughout the years. One of my family recipes is pizza. I know, almost anyone can make pizza. But my grandmothers pizza is so soft and fluffy while also having flavor and the secret sauce she makes is just delicious and adds so much to the pizza itself. She also has her own pizzeria in Mexico. Another one of our family recipes is picones. If you don’t know what that is it’s kind of like a sweet bread. I remember when I was younger my grandmother would always make it in the weekends to sell and I could eat the dough nonstop it was delicious it was my version of cookie dough really. ]]> 2021-10-31 04:22:29 UTC https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1856176735 maribelhernandez2112 https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1856263276 For myself I personally believe i'm not the best writer however even if writing may not be my strong forte try to make my writing the best i can/could. I haven't started writing my paper however I have read through the prompts of the autobiography and brainstormed how I can go about writing about the different topics since for me writing tends to be a long process
A Family recipe I can share is Bionico which is a dessert . It can be consider a fruit salad with creme (crema) with different toppings. To make this you would need some chopped fruits most bionicos consist of (apples , strawberries , grapes , melons , pears , papayas). Once your have you fruit in a container we will make the creme  , to make make the creme you will need pint of plain yogurt which we will add to our fruit after we will add condensed milk to our fruit which then will mix it all (depending how sweet you will like it you can add about 1- 2 1/2 small cans of it ) after you may add all topping you may like , toppings such as granola . coconut shavings and even mini marshmallows can be added to this . There we have it we have our bionico :)]]> 2021-10-31 06:35:50 UTC https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1856263276 https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1857036084 It’s not as hard as it seems! I want to be a thorough as i can so  whoever reads it can have a better understanding of who i am and where i come from! As i am writing my paper i am surprisingly having fun writing it haha. It makes me realize that wow I’ve actually came along way. Because we are all so busy with life that i think writing this, makes me feel proud of where I’ve came from and what I have done!

So a recipe would be SOPES
It is a Mexican tortilla shaped as a bowl and it includes:
- beans
- carne asada
-lettuce
-sour cream 
-avocado 
- salsa (which ever is you preference)]]> 2021-10-31 18:18:28 UTC https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1857036084 https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1857185615 Hi everyone! When it comes to writing, I consider to be a decent writer. To begin with, I like to just jot everything that comes to mind at the moment. After, I like to organize everything I wrote into an outline, that I can later use to write my paper. Writing this autography has been very interesting, I have learned things about my family and myself that I never payed attention to that we did, or how we functioned as a whole in reference to what I have learned in this course. A recipe I want to share is a fruit salad my family and I make for the holidays. The ingredients we use are: Apples, grapes, pineapple, pears, coconut scrapes, marshmallows, raisons, granola, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk all mixed together. ]]> 2021-10-31 20:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1857185615 https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1857407534 Hello class,
The prompts for the biography are tough, it's like doing shadow work in a way. It brought up some memories I wanted to forget but I guess it's good to talk about, it made me who I am and I can learn to break the cycle or repeat (i want to break it). A recipe I have are tamales. I learned it from my Mama Bena, my great grandmother, she made them back in her pueblo in Mexico for as long as I could remember. She would grab a corn husk and rub masa all over it with the juice she would prepare for the turkey. Then put some peas, carrots, olives, a slice of jalapeno, a slice of potato, and turkey meat or chicken meat. This has been a tradition to make every christmas for as long as I could remember. My grandma would make them every year, I had the honor on learning how to do it myself two years ago and it is a tradition I will pass onto my husband and kids. Hope everyone is doing well!]]> 2021-11-01 00:42:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1857407534 gmarquezlo1 https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1857436685 In terms of the autobiography, I do like to write, although I do not think I am the best writer, especially when it comes to writing about myself. I find it hard to reveal elements about myself, especially personal ones. I'm also not good at being descriptive about subjects that involve me. Since the autobiography is intended to be a long, thorough examination about my personal experiences, it can be hard for me to delve into specific aspects of my childhood because my memory isn't the best and I find it hard to pin point certain experiences. So I think it would be best if I brainstorm some experiences that answer the questions before starting to write the autobiography, so I could have something to reference. 
Now onto one of my favorite family recipes: shrimp cocktails. In general, I love any food with shrimp because I love shrimp, but shrimp cocktails are one of my favorites. I've never actually made this recipe before because I am not a fan of cooking, so I'll just list the ingredients for you all. 
Ingredients:
-chopped onions
-squeezed lime juice
-medium cooked and peeled shrimp
-chopped tomatoes
-chopped cucumber
-chopped celery
-Clamato juice
-squeezed ketchup
-chopped cilantro
-chopped avocados (optional; I don't really like avocados so I prefer it without it, but my mom and other family members like it so they always add it into their shrimp cocktail)]]> 2021-11-01 00:58:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1857436685 https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1857697405 I feel like in writing this autobiography, it should be easy since we are basically writing about ourselves. Writing has never been my strongpoint, but I always know as long as I hit everything that was needed for it I should be fine. One of my favorite family recipes would be shrimp aguachiles, which consists of shrimp cooked in lime, then you'll blend green tomatillos, some onion, and green serranos to the liking of how spicy you would like it to be. You then put it in a bowl and let it cook for 1 hour. (the lime cooks the shrimp) Once done you top with chopped cucumber and red onion. You can then enjoy with tostadas or crackers, maybe some avocado and hot sauce. I'm sure everyone makes it different, but this is how my family makes it.]]> 2021-11-01 03:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1857697405 https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1857730377 I am a little nervous about the length of the paper. I think it might be a little difficult to talk about myself for 7 pages. I am so grateful for the prompts, because those will be such a great help for the times that I feel like I have run out of things to say.

I would share a family recipe, but unfortunately I don't know any! Every time I ask my mom or her sisters for their recipes, they refuse to share them. I can recommend a dish to try though. It is called Peach Cobbler. You can look up recipes, but I would personally recommend trying the southern style versions of it (they're much better!).]]> 2021-11-01 03:21:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1857730377 https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1857750187 Ok so let me start off by saying.. I had no clue about the autobiography. But I do now! And I think I'll be able to get it done just fine.  My usual routine for writing goes like this:
1. I should be fine, I'll for sure get it done early. 2. Fails to start early multiple times until I REALLY gotta do it. 3. Struggle to write the first sentence/paragraph. 4. Breeze through the rest.
Will Osmar be able to break the cycle this time? who knows. As for the food, well I am very much an amateur. I can cook the most basic stuff like rice and beans and maybe grill some burgers but I am only kind of ok at it. My favorite dish my mom makes is some mole with rice and beans. Mole is made differently by pretty much every other Hispanic family but the one my mom makes is usually on the thicker side, a little spicy but mostly sweet. There's like some chocolate and peppers in there or something with shredded chicken. Still need to learn exactly how to make it ngl smh.]]> 2021-11-01 03:31:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1857750187 https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1857839737 Hello Class, 
I use to enjoy writing in high school mainly because my teacher made the process easy and fun! I am a good writer again I am not the best, but I do indeed enjoy expressing my thoughts into a format. I find it interesting on how one can express their thoughts and feeling through words and use these expression to form a vivid picture in the heads of the audience. The paper that we will be doing does sound challenging because it has a GREAT amount of pages, but since it is an autobiography I as well as my classmates should be fine! 
A Family recipe I want to share with the class is typically eaten in the summer because of the fresh lime taste and the touch of spice given to it. 
AguaChiles 
shrimp, “cooked”  in lime juice. By adding blended chiles and cilantro to the mix, giving it this vibrant green color and spicy deliciousness!

• 1 lb fresh shrimp
• 4 serrano chilies, stemmed and rough chopped
• 5 -6 limes, juiced
• ¹⁄₃ cup cilantro
• 1 ¹⁄₄ teaspoons salt
• ¹⁄₂ small red onion, finely sliced
• ¹⁄₃ cucumber
• 1 avocado, sliced
• tostadas

One of my favorite foods my mom makes is her birria. It’s honestly the best birria I have ever had and I have never tried making it myself, so I don’t the exact recipe, but the ingredients are : carne de chivo, clavo, pimienta , jengibre, hoja de laurel chiles puya, sal, tomillo . ]]> 2021-11-01 05:13:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1857921645 https://padlet.com/tracykazsuk/1qzmui9zpm2zvrqj/wish/1858019809 My paper is coming along nicely. I was a bit intimidated at first because of the length of the paper and the personal questions, but I've actually been enjoying revealing more about myself and talking about my personal experiences. I've never considered myself to be a good writer because a lot of the time I'm not too interested in whatever I'm writing about, but talking about myself is very easy, especially since the professor laid out all the topics we should be covering.

Although I like writing, I don't think I'm the best writer. So, I'm a little nervous about the autobiography. I'm not sure what things about myself I would even include. I hope that it can at least be inspiring in some way--aren't autobiographies supposed to be that way? Anyways, I don't have the exact recipe for this cheesecake we like to make around the holidays but I do know the ingredients. It's not so bad:

lots of cream cheese
