Family Meal: 6th Period by Adrienne Carmona https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8 Made with whimsy en-us 2020-10-04 17:58:41 UTC 2025-03-30 21:55:26 UTC hello@padlet.com Mac N' Cheese acarmona27 https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/803997376 During Thanksgiving, we eat Mac n' Cheese! The gooey, cheese melts all over my plate. The noodles are cooked to perfection with 2% milk and salted creamy butter. More cheese, mozzarella and cheddar is added to the noodles and the smell runs up my nose like ooey gooey goodness. 

When you mix mac n’ cheese together, it makes an unpleasant noise: mush, mush! You can see yellow and orange water at the bottom of the pan. The noodles are so small, you have to eat more than one bowl!

The recipe features molo (or siomai/wonton), ground pork, shrimps, singkamas, carrots, and spring onions. This is one of the meals that me and my family eat in Filipino culture. The molo has a really smooth texture like a bedsheet, and it can spread its wonderful flavor all over my tongue. The meat in the molo also melts on my tongue to spread its tasty flavor, and the soup is hot and succulent that can make my body warm, especially the heart. The dish makes my heart warm because my adoring mother cooked it, and she will cook it for my family and me because she loves and cares about us. The smell of the dish makes my mouth watery because of the delicious aroma entering my nostrils. It is best to eat it hot, and with or without rice, but I highly recommend eating the dish with rice because it will make one full and satisfied after the meal. Unless one does not want to gain weight and desire to lose weight (like me), one can eat Pancit Molo without rice. The way I eat the dish is I slurp the molo, which forces the meat to go out from the inside, and it is my favorite part of the meal because I want the luscious flavor to spread all over my tongue, and feel its smoothness. Next, I eat the meat from the molo, and I let the tongue do its job instead of my teeth because it is easier to crush the meat and spread its outstanding flavor all over my tongue. Lastly, I drink the soup to warm my body. I can also eat the molo with the meat inside it, giving more delicious flavor to my tongue.

However, the dish, Pancit Molo, that my lovely mother cooked has downsides. The molo can quickly fall apart when one drags a piece (molo with meat inside) with a fork in the air, probably because the molo has more weight and does not have a good grip on both the meat and the fork. It can also happen when it is in the soup, but it is rare. If the molo falls on the hot soup, then the hot soup will splash all over the area and, worst of all, on me, which burns my skin that makes contact with the hot soup. Some of the meat in the molo can be chewy and bland, which indicates that my mother did not properly cook the meat. If one adds Pancit Molo on the rice too much, it will feel weird eating the meal. Worst of all, the food will not be suitable to consume if it is cold or mild, leading to dissatisfaction with the food during supper. The succulents of the molo with the meat inside are no longer because it is cold, which could sometimes cause the meat to be chewy and bland. The molo, however, will keep its smooth texture, which is the only upside. The delicious soup is no longer delightful because it is cold, and it will not warm up one's body. This can only resolve by heating the recipe with a microwave or a stove to bring back the soup's succulent flavor and possibly the meat. ]]> 2020-10-05 17:29:08 UTC https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804055639 Orange Chicken https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804055651 -Lukasz
My all time favorite food is orange chicken. The texture and flavor of orange chicken is why it is my favorite food. I remember the first time I tried Orange Chicken I did not like it. Then about a month later I went to Panda Express with my family and tried it again and I really enjoyed it. Since then Its been my favorite food, I have made it from scratch before and to me it honestly tastes just as good if you were to buy it if it was frozen. But when I make it from scratch I get normal standard chicken breast and I clean it and I cut it into little different pieces  until I make enough for whoever is eating. Then I make it have a crust/ batter I dip it in egg yolk then flour then breading and cook it until it is a nice orange color. I have no clue on how to make the sauce and I feel like if I would try then I would completely ruin it, so usually my mom buys a sauce or sometimes she makes it. Then I simply pour the sauce on the chicken let it simmer and cook for a little bit and then serve it with rice. The best part is when it is just done, when it is still hot and when you bite into it you feel the sweetness, the sourness, and then you feel the hit of spice which just gives it extra flavor.

I honestly have no idea if there is anything wrong with orange chicken. If there is then I have no clue what it is, I feel if it is done properly then there shouldn't be anything wrong with it, or people just have different taste buds. I believe that the only way there can be something bad about orange chicken is if you prepare it incorrectly or season it too little or too much. I remember one time, it was the second time I was making it from scratch with my mom, I prepped the chicken correctly, however I believe I overcooked the chicken a bit and the chicken had a weird slightly bitter taste that ruined it for me for that day. The whole process takes a little while especially if you are making it from scratch, It could be my lack of cooking knowledge but I believe that an hour and a half to two hours to make this is a while so I guess that is a negative about this dish. Even when the chicken is frozen and you have to heat it up and then add sauce it still takes a while, it is a lot less time than making it from scratch but it still takes time, so I do not know if that is a negative. A negative I can think of is if you season it incorrectly, because then it becomes a mess and it simply tastes like trash. It really comes down to your sauce and how you season your chicken breast but if the sauce itself is not good then you might as well throw the dish away because you wont like it, the sauce is the star which is why I believe it to be a negative because if you mess that up then you can not really salvage your meal.

There are so many different places you can get it from or many different brands from the store. It is always very good and I will never stop liking it. There are so many ways that you can make your pizza, so you never get tired of it, since you can always change the toppings up. I eat it about 2 times a week. It's very simple yet so good. It is very filling and we usually have it at every family party. The crust, the sauce, the cheese, the topping, they just never go wrong with each other. I like that the crust is crispy and every time you take a bite it you get a good crunch. I also enjoy making homemade pizzas, they are better than any others I've had. You get to make it however big you want it to be and you just get to customize to be just the way you like,for me I'm boring and just like cheese. They are cooked in a pizza oven which makes them even better. They are very easy to make or even better you can always order them. You can never go wrong with eating pizza. 

Although, there is so many positives about pizza. There is also some negatives. Some pizzas are cut into tiny squares. Since they are cut into tiny square you have to eat quite a bit to feel full. Also the best part are the ones with the crust but they are always the ones to go first and then you are left with the middle pieces which aren't good. Also some pizza's just don't have enough sauce, there doesn't need to be tons of sauce, just enough so your eating cheese and bread. Sadly, pizza isn't healthy, meaning you shouldn't eat it a lot. ]]> 2020-10-05 17:29:34 UTC https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804057530 Hamburger-Naseem https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804057931


A hamburger is my favorite food because you can always choose between how you want to cook it you can go from medium 2 medium well or medium rare with these options you can always choose if you want it nice and juicy or a little bit tough to eat which is why it's nice to eat and it which is why it's one of the best foods. Another reason why it's my favorite food because you can always add stuff to the meat and add multiple spices so that there are never two of the same burgers that can taste the same also you can make a brand new one with flavors that you want or you can make the same one it's all up to you and how you want to taste it or how you want the flavors to be so that's why it's also one of the best foods. The hamburger also allows you to enjoy the tenderness of it and the juices of any flavor it's always soft and you can put multiple toppings on it so you can get a boost in flavor which works well with the way you cook it that's why I a lot of people like to put a lot of things on tops of it like lettuce tomatoes cucumbers or anything you want and it gives it an extra texture or a little crunch so when you eat it it's not like any other food you can just keep stacking stuff on it that's why it's one of the best. 

Some negatives for the hamburger is that when you're cooking it a lot of people don't like how the raw meat looks while they're trying to shape into a hamburger I guess it just looks like a red paste and a lot of people don't like how uncooked meat look. Another negative is when you're squishing it together it makes like a squishing sound which can cause people to be uncomfortable. Then when people start adding spices it gets all over your hands and you can hurt your nose is of a smell if using like pepper a sizzling sound and then it doesn't feel that smooth. Another negative is that when you're cooking it he could take a while because you have to use a lot of plates and it gets messy cuz you have to have different like sides with it or things you want and like lettuce tomatoes or cucumbers which can make your kitchen and a bunch of messy plates. The last negative to say about this is that when you're cooking it on the grill a lot of people don't like the sizzling sounds of when you cooking stuff on the grill like when you put the hamburger on the grill it tends to make a sizzling sound which can cause people not to like it or be irritated so a lot of them just back away otherwise the burger is pretty fun to make if you don't mind getting your hands dirty. 


]]> 2020-10-05 17:29:39 UTC https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804057931 Julissa Frasco: Tortas de Carne Deshebrada https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804058068 Once a year, My mom makes tortas de carne deshebrada. I find this as my favorite family meal because of the tomato sauce enriched with jalapenos. Normally people only add tomato sauce but my mom also adds jalapeno peppers to add spice. The jalapenos and the juice are such a great combination because you have both savory and spicy. The smell of the jalapenos hits you like a train. The whole kitchen smells as if the spice has always been there. My mom always puts us to work by separating the meat. The meat takes the longest to cook so my mom prepares it a day before. The meat adds a great touch because it doesn't have that much flavor but then mixed in the tomato sauce, it's just delicious. Once the meat is prepared, she puts a bunch together to then have them formed in a thick oval with egg. The key to great tortas deshebrada is that the eggs have to be fluffy not liquidy. If it's liquidy then the torta will dissolve and be distorted. I always love to help out because once I'm older I want to be able to make these dishes as delicious as they do. Mexicans always love to add spice to their foods so the jalapenos are a great touch. Along with the tortas, my mom also makes rice. I always flood my rice with the liquid from the tortas. To add a bit more flavor to my torta, I put sour cream on the meat. 
Some Negatives about this dish is that the meat takes an extremely long time to cook. My mom always has to prepare the meat a day before so it doesn't take up most of her day. Also, this dish is a long process which is why my mom only makes it once a year. I find it horrible because this is my favorite dish, I wish I can savor it way more. My mom usually makes about 20 of these tortas which is very time-consuming. My family and I normally finish them in one day. They don't last long with my family which is a downside. Another negative is that when you eat this meal you make a very loud chomp, chomp. At times, I find the noise uncomforting or annoying so I chew more slowly. This dish can be very messy because of all the liquid and all the meat. "Tortas de carne deshebrada" means shredded meat cakes in English. The shredded meat sometimes gets suck in my throat which is very painful. You need to be cautious when it's hot, it would be very difficult to get a piece of the torta. If my mom didn't start adding jalapenos and the juice into the tomato sauce, I wouldn't have considered it my favorite meal. I will always love spice in anything I eat, and if there isn't I would find it disappointing. Born Mexican, I can't point out any dishes that don't have spice or doesn't have a salsa on the side. ]]> 2020-10-05 17:29:41 UTC https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804058068 Kare Kare Jaxon A https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804058203 My favorite family meal is Kare Kare. It's a Filipino  dish. It's made of peanut butter, oxtail ,rice , and veggies. This thick creamy stew is so good on a cold winter day.I can just imagine taking my fork and spoon mixing the stew with the rice to make the rice creamier. I remember the using my fork easily peeling off strips of ox tail because it's just so tender. I can't remember my first time trying it but I'm sure I was at least a a baby. My family would serve this dish on special occasions like Christmas. This main course makes some of my fondest memories even sweeter. For example my family and I would drive for an hour on Christmas eve to get to my great uncles house. I'd walk through the house to greet all my family members. As I'm walking down the stares into the basement I'd see a long line of table chocked full of food but the one I notice is the giant pot of Kare Kare. This amazingly tender oxtails in complimented in tandem with the creaminess of the peanut butter along with the crunchy vegetables. 

So one of the few possible negatives of this overall amazing stew is the price. The oxtail can run you up 6-10 dollars a pound and if your trying to feed an entire family on Christmas eve your need at least 30 bucks for this glorious meat. One other final downside to this amazing meal is the Time it takes to create this amazing meal. It takes at least 1:30- 2 hours to cook all the parts necessary. I can se why someone would not enjoy this meal. Th taste of savory tender oxtail is a very interesting combo with the sweeter creamier peanut butter. This can make for some confusion on the tongue]]> 2020-10-05 17:29:43 UTC https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804058203 William - Pozole https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804058773 My Favorite family meal is Pozole. We always cook it during the colder months for thanksgiving, Christmas, and for New Year's. The pozole could be both red and green. Each bowl that is served is overwhelming with flavor. The steam that comes out from the bowl clears your sinuses with each breath you take. Each spoonful coats your tongue in its warm broth. The hominy is cooked to perfection and falls to pieces easily. The crunch of cabbage when you take that first bite. The beef is so savory and overwhelms everything in a good way. Having it cooked to just below perfection because it steaming in the hot broth is enough to finish cooking it. The crunch of the oregano in your hand as you try to sprinkle it into your bowl. The savory smell as it falls into the bowl and seeing it sink into the red broth.

There really is no downside to having pozole aside from the fact that there is never enough. we have a big 5 gallon pot that we use just for that every year and we always run out quickly. That's why we always make a new batch every winter holiday such as the ones I had mentioned prior. Granted it always runs out quickly because I have such a large family.]]> 2020-10-05 17:29:50 UTC https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804058773 Damian G https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804059030 Chipotle Chicken Burrito-
A Chipotle Chicken Burrito is my favorite food. It is a combination of a bunch of flavors and textures, starting off with the soft, warm tortilla. My favorite part of the burrito has to be the Double Chicken mixed with the hot sauce and sour cream. With the burrito, you get a little bit of everything. The smooth soft rice and tortilla, the juicy, perfectly cooked chicken, the creamy and spicy sauces, with a crunch from the lettuce. It is pretty good in nutrients with about 50g of protein, 0 trans fat, and about 850 calories (according to their website).

It is pretty hard for me to think of something bad about the chicken burrito. It does have a lot of carbs, it could get messy sometimes with the rice and chicken falling out everywhere, and the sauce spilling out and the they charge a extra $2 for GUAC. There were also times that I bit into a hard chicken part which was weird.

It is just mouth watering. It has a very thick  consistency of fresh frozen berries ,strawberries,blueberries,raspberries that are all mixed in together. It has a very cooling feeling when you eat it. Its so smooth and when you eat it its to die for. It is also topping with any toppings you want. I put crunchy oats with very small amount of coconut shavings. I also love to add a drizzle of almond butter just to add some more flavor into it. I also add some fresh bananas and strawberries. NEGETIVE
Even though it is my favorite food it takes a lot of time to make ,but if I don't want to make it I can just go and buy it. Also when eating sometimes the texture can just feel very weird because there is so many things happening at once you can't just enjoy it piece by piece. Its much more better when you eat is whole.When you are eating it ,it can become very messy sometimes even if you are trying to be careful. The little pieces of the fruit can get stuck in between your teeth and you won't be able to even see it or feel that you have something stuck in between your teeth.  ]]> 2020-10-05 17:30:00 UTC https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804059442 Sandwiches -Anita P. https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804060367 I like to eat this food whenever I get the chance! There all kinds of ways to make a sandwich. The fresh toasted bread of all kinds and lettuces with all and any kinds of meat possible that can be taken to go. The many kinds of sandwiches is infinite and it's good to eat any time of day, breakfast, lunch, and maybe dinner. 

The negative part of this food is that it's sometimes soggy and some options aren't available to make it. Also, a sandwich sometimes isn't filling for certain times of meals and can't eat it in certain situations outside, it can fall or something can get on it and it will be ruined. ]]> 2020-10-05 17:30:12 UTC https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804060367 Joselin https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804060546 Pozole]]> 2020-10-05 17:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804060546 Zenna https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804060758 bacon sauce: It's something special that my step dad has been making for years. I don't know exactly how to describe it but its pretty much a sauce that has bacon in it and tastes like bacon. You can eat it with tortillas, eggs, or even put it on a hot dog if you wanted.

Maybe one negative is that he doesn't make it too often? Nobody I know has tried it so I can never relate to anyone on it. Even when I look it up online, I see nothing that's even similar to it. I really hope he gives me the recipe some day:)]]> 2020-10-05 17:30:18 UTC https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804060758 Joselin https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804061146 Tamales]]> 2020-10-05 17:30:23 UTC https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804061146 molly https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804062150 sushi:
On special occasions my family and I will go out for sushi. I start the meal off with a steaming cup of miso soup. The warm tofu melts in your mouth and the sea weed had some more bite to it. The warn soup soothes your throat and is the best pallet cleanser for your meal. I love sashimi and the cold raw fish of all colors, sticky and compact rice laying beneath and the salty soy sauce. The green, spicy wasabi complements the salty soy sauce perfectly. The pink pickled ginger has the best flavor, it is a bit spicy but it's so delicious. There are so many options at the restaurant you can get anything from a roll to a poke bowl. The options seem to be endless as your order your meal. I recently have started ordering the poke bowls with my Dad. They are filled with bright colors and layers. It comes with many variations of fish and seafood. Between the green edamame, tender octopus, spicy wasabi and sticky sushi rice the meal is very tasty. Everything is so fresh and refreshing to eat!

After a while the raw fish begins to get a bit room temperature. The temperature of the fish makes or breaks the sushi. I love it when it is cold crisp but after a bit it is not as enjoyable. I also do not like it when I have already eaten all of my wasabi and ginger. It is such a refreshing part of the meal and without it it is not complete. The flavors are not fully there and the meal is not complete. This is the perfect time to finish up the towering bowl of edamame. These salty beans are the perfect way to finish your meal. These edamame pea pods and the best snack after the meal. These snappy beans are both fun to eat and delicious. You can dip the pods in soy sauce. The mix of the salt sprinkled onto the beans and the salty soy sauce is a great combination.]]> 2020-10-05 17:30:37 UTC https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804062150 Everest https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804063017   Without a doubt the most delicious family meal to eat is a Mexican plate called corundas. Corundas are best explained as just tamales without the delicious meat filling they usually have. Tamales are great too but if it came down to either eating tamales or corundas for the rest of my life, the obvious winner would be corundas. 
  First off the way they look, they come wrapped in a leaf of a corn plant. Traditionally when they are made they are triangular, however my family makes then flat like pancakes, which makes them look to much more delicious as you unwrap it and it smoothly comes off of the leaf. 
  Now the best part is the taste, as you bite into it the warm almost enhances the whole experience and it's not like anything you've ever tasted before, it's a billion times better. It's soft so it easily breaks apart when you bite into it and it goes down smoothly.
Of course, all of this marvelous plate comes at a price. That being that it takes a lot of time and effort to prepare. You have to make sure each corunda is thick enough because if it is too thin, or it will be impossible to bite into without it completely falling apart. ]]> 2020-10-05 17:30:48 UTC https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804063017 Calvin https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804063452  Seafood: The positive thing about seafood is that there are many kinds of, tastes, and variations. Hard outer shell with a soft, chewy inside, with every crack of a crab leg and every snap of a shrimp's tail comes satisfaction, juices pour out and it feels like heaven, with every bite you crave more and more, it can come with all kinds over sauces/flavors added to it, butter, marinara, or anything else that can suit your taste, you can pretty much have it with anything you desire, it also doesn't hurt to try. There are also all kinds of fish, cod, salmon, and tuna, they all look similar and like fish but each has something different and unique to it, some parts are softer and taste better other are more bitter and chevy. If you are feeling adventurous enough you can try and go for a swordfish, eel, or a john dory. There are so many kinds of fish that you can try and each have a special surprise inside of sweet and delicious meat. The best part to me about fish and the fact that there are so many options is that it’s completely vegetarian, which is really convenient for me. The negative part about seafood is that sometimes, it’s not ethically harvested, filled with all kinds of awful gmo’s to try to “better the taste” and sometimes some kinds of fish, especially the rare and therefore more expensive type are so overfarmed that it can really damage the ecosystem, not to mention the amount of oil spillage that have happened over the past couple decades if not centuries, with waste constantly being dumbed and therefor damaging the ecosystem more. There is also the issue of worker exploitation, it makes me feel really bad if a fisherman, who barely earns any money from the job was forced to harvest the fish, possibly being hurt in the process due to lack of proper care and tools.  On a personal matter when it comes to having a negative towards seafood is that sometimes it can smell really bad and stink up a lot of places, your breath, and your hands if you choose to eat it that way, also sometimes it's really hard to open up crab legs, sometimes the shell can scratch you or cause your hands to cramp if you over clean the crab-legs too much. This is my overall opinion on the positives and negatives of seafood. ]]> 2020-10-05 17:30:54 UTC https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804063452 Patrycja https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804064057 Pierogies
Every year on Christmas my grandma makes the best pierogies. She makes them all from scratch, and the best ones are with sweet cabbage. It's so buttery and sweet, and so delicious especially with her homemade made compote. A compote is a traditional Polish juice that we always make for Christmas. My grandma puts in different varieties of fruits, and it makes the best combination. With each bit of pierogies you get the perfect amount of dough and filling, that it makes you crave for more. Each pierogi is perfectly cooked with some tiny cubed slices of bacon and dill on top. It makes your mouth water, and you just can’t get enough of them. My favorite is when you fry the pierogies in a pan, and each time you cut into the pierogies you get a crispy dough on the outside. But on the inside you have a warm, soft, watery cabbage filling, with fried onions on top. There is a huge variety of flavors, and those aren't my only favorite ones. Sometimes my mom makes pierogies with blueberries. Even though that might sound disgusting, you can’t hate it before you try it. The warm blueberry perogies melt in your mouth with each bit. It’s sprinkled with sugar on top and it’s just the best thing in the world. You can never get enough of these rich, delicious flavored pierogies that you will be asking for more and you’ll never be tired of them. 

It takes forever to make pierogies, especially ones with sweet cabbage filling. On the first day my grandma makes the cabbage filling and leaves it overnight. Then the next day she makes the dough from scratch, and the sweet potato filling. Then by hand she has to cut out the circles individually and place the filling in. Next she has to squeeze the top making sure no filling comes out when they cook. With a big family like mine my grandma makes around 200 of these during Christmas time. She makes sure everyone has some to take home. But these pierogies can take anywhere from 2 days to fully make. Pierogies with blueberries are way easier to make,but they still take 8 hours. I only get to eat my favorite pierogies once a year on Christmas, because it takes way too long to make them. In my house pierogies go by so fast that they only last a day. When you think you can enjoy a warm plate of pierogies, you’re wrong, they're all gone no one saved you any. Everyone eats them before you can even have one. That's why you have to hide it from your family, so you can enjoy some for yourself.The good thing is only me and my sister like blueberry pierogies so they last way longer. Even though pierogies are so good they are unhealthy for you. It contains so much oil and butter that makes it super fatty. But it’s so hard to not eat more then you should.

I can never be tired of eating it. Sushi is the type of food that can fill you up in seconds. You can eat it with any ingredients you desire. There are many different ways people eat sushi. Poke Bowls are basically sushi but unwrapped. It's a rice bowl with sushi toppings. People use different flavors and it goes well together. I like how no matter how different you create a sushi dish, the basic components of sushi is rice and seaweed.
Sushi is good the day you have it. Sushi gets bad the day after because it's not longer fresh and the rice starts to get stale. I think if you want to enjoy fresh and yummy sushi and can be pricey and no one should have to pay a lot of money for a dish so delicious. I do think sushi is one of the most ]]> 2020-10-05 17:31:20 UTC https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804065545 Omar M Aslam omaslam https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804067203 Hard Shell Tacos : 
.Hard Shell Tacos. Hard Shell Tacos are a delight for anyone who eats them. The Hard Shell adds a Nice crunch that can only be found in something like a bag of chips. It complements all the amazing ingredients inside like the lettuce, tomatoes and meats as well as Sour Cream and Beans if you are into that. I also believe that Hard Shelled tacos also add a Saltiness that soft tell tacos just do not have which makes it even better. I mean who doesn't like a seasoned Shell.

This Tasty Dish despite all its positives can sometimes crumble apart and leave quite a mess. If eaten Improperly the inside of the taco can spill out leaving it all over your plate, napkin or table. Also if Left uneaten for long enough the Shell becomes Soggy and mushy and you no longer have the crunch you where so desperately craving.]]> 2020-10-05 17:31:42 UTC https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804067203 Irsa Collaku icollaku https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804069770 Waffles
The beautiful golden waffles feel like melting in your mouth while eating. They smell so amazing that you can't resist them. A little crunchy and sweet. The best ones are those with syrup on top of them. It is so satisfying to watch the syrup drizzling until it runs on the sides of the waffle. They taste incredible when they are warm and buttered. There are a lot of toppings which you can put on waffles, and they are all tasty.

Although they are amazingly delicious, they sometimes are a little too crisp and too sweet. They're the best when they are worm but the worse when cold. Because they are topped with high sugar syrups they increase the risk of diabetes and health conditions. It is not so healthy eating waffles everyday. They can be healthier if they are homemade and using modest amounts of sugar]]> 2020-10-05 17:32:03 UTC https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804069770 Adam G https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804072131  Tamales. A base for whatever your heart desires. Can be sweet, can be filled with meat, but recognizable to those who want a neat treat. Most recognizable with the steamed corn husk on the outside. A traditional food from Mesoamerica that can be explored with a single bite. Best served freshly cooked as to taste the warm masa base, the rich enticing spices, and the tender meat. My mom would always by some from an old lady nearby who owned a small bakery. She would always have them handmade all by herself. Every Sunday, mom would buy a bunch for brunch. The aroma of the meat has a very inviting smell. The first bite of the soft corn base is always recognizable. Small enough to eat by hand but big enough to hit the spot. You can very well customize it a dash of smooth cream or the spiciness of a salsa. They will always be served in bunches as one will leave you craving for more!

A big problem with tamales is the mess afterwards. The steamed corn shells always leave a mess as you continuously unwrap for more. The are anything but small. They tend to leave a gigantic pile off to the side which can overcrowd your plate. The oh so delectable spices tend to leave a mess afterwards. A downside with eating by hand is that everything gets on your hand so you'll most likely than not have some leftovers on your fingers. A big problem with the steaming the corn husk is that some of the tamale gets stuck between the tiny crevices. This mean that you'll have to either put more effort into getting the full tamale or you'll just have to loss some! Another part is that if improperly cooked they can be very crumbly. No use in trying to eat a tamale that keeps falling apart! But the biggest problem come in coming with it's creation. They and typically take forever to make, feeling like an eternity passes before they are done. A personal problem is that I can never tie them up right. I always end up with a loose knot or tearing up the corn husk.]]> 2020-10-05 17:32:33 UTC https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804072131 Peter K https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804080490 Pierogi
Every year we have them on Christmas Eve made fresh. Whenever we are making them and putting them together they look very airy and buttery. Once we set them inside of the water that is boiling they begin to slowly rise up and float to the top. The ones we make are the cheese-filled and once you cut into them you see the steam come out and they are so delicate and crusty. The richness inside of the cheese is just a mouth-watering feeling. Most of the time I put on some toppings such as bacon or some onions that are grilled. For me personally, I think it is necessary to put on some toppings cause they just add an extra hint of flavor. You can add some sides with them for example when eating the blueberry ones you can have some ice cream with them so it won't be so plain.
The one thing that is bad about that amazing dish is that you can puncture a hole in the dough and water will go inside of the pierogi and will ruin the succulent taste. When making the pierogi you have to carefully seal the edges and watch where you are grabbing when placing them into the water or when taking them out. When warming up pierogis too they kind of suck, they taste very liquidy and they taste awful. When putting them in your mouth they taste odd and not rich at all. I personally think that buying store made ones are also bad, they taste funky due to plastic boxing maybe. Overall I think that you should just make some homemade ones, if you don't know how to then just go online and learn how to make them. They are a hundred times better than store-bought or trying to wing it. Also when eating them they just lack some tastes that aren't there when buying them or warming it up. They should just be made at home.]]> 2020-10-05 17:34:23 UTC https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804080490 Erika https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804082221 granola bars - they're just so convenient.

And they go perfectly with milk or even chocolate milk, and taste the best when their heated up to that perfect soft temperature. They've got that warm sweet chocolaty smell while your making them, that just fill up your entire house. They can sometimes be made with icing on top or plain or icing inside the brownies or how ever you like. When their first warm is the best time to really dig in on them and you can ultimately eat as many as you want without ever getting sick of them because no one ever can have too many brownies. And their paired perfectly with delicious cold glass of milk. You can never resist the sweet sensation of warm sweet chocolaty brownies makes your whole day better and everything is solved.  

Now some cons of brownies can be that while you are trying to make them sometimes they can burn and get really hard when you eat them and that becomes really nasty. Especially when your craving something really sweet and just want to be able to eat it but then bite into it and get a mouth full of burnt nasty chocolate. Another con might be when sometimes you get that really full feeling when you eat too much brownies and get a really bad stomach ache and it's probably the most annoying feeling ever especially when it's something you were really craving that day. Another thing that can happen is that gross feeling when you accidentally mess up when cracking an egg and get bunch of shell in the brownies on accident and when you go to take a bite you hear a crunch that ruins the whole brownie and grosses you out. When you eat brownies there's that annoying feeling when it gets stuck in your teeth and gets hard to get it out. ]]> 2020-10-05 17:37:18 UTC https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804094852 Zenna https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804101031 Bacon egg and cheese sandwich. mmmmmm

No negative tbh]]> 2020-10-05 17:38:34 UTC https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804101031 Fernando https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/804101680 Pasta. My mom makes pasta for special occasions.My mom first time that she made this meal was a few years ago. When she makes this she brings out this big white pan and she takes out the little pasta things.Then she puts the water in the pan and lets it sit there for a litte and then she puts the pasta inside the water so they can cook until they are soft.Once she's done with that she begins out another pan to cook the chicken in another pan once she cooks that she then cuts the chicken into little pieces  so she can put into the pot with the pasta. Finally when she done with all of that she adds alfredo to it and then mixs everything together and she makes sure that all the alfredo all of over the dish and the food.Then when she done with that she takes out some white glass pltes and she serves all of us me . my dad , and my sister.She also adds a piece of bread that she puts in the oven.She also puts the some of the little green things i dont know what they are called its in the picture that gives it nice favlor.




Something that i dont like about this food is that sometimes i just dont it because I dont really like pasta so it really depens on the day. But I mostly like it. The reason I can say that i wont eat it is because sometimes theres not enough chicken and theres more pasta then chicken. Another thing is that there'll might be too much sauce added into the dish and it just does not end up good.The last thing that I dont like is that sometimes she changes up the little pasta things.

The warm and toasty bagel with poppy seeds and garlic flavoring is a very powerful bite. The pull of the half has a amazing steamy and stretch pulling cheese while the egg is fairly salted. The bacon is so crispy and you can taste the bacon in every bite you take. something I would change about a bacon egg and cheese is the egg. The egg is only salted and I expected to have more flavor where I can taste each and single ingredient in one whole bite.
overall the bagel itself can be talked about since it’s fresh and crunchy. the fair amount of poppy seeds and garlic

Like I said back then it always brings people together and people are always down for a bowl of pho that's why I love it so much. Basically, what pho is like noodles basically. It's meatballs, obviously noodle with a bunch of other stuff, you can have celery and you can have different types of meat like beef, steak, just, in general, you can have almost any type of meat and it basically the most of the time meatballs, noodle,s, and celery is what you use in the dish. You can also make a spicy bowl or have a just regular old non-spicy bowl and you can eat it alongside other dishes but you mainly eat pho alone since to some people it fills them up fast. One positive thing for sure is that from my experience it will always put a smile on your face or someone else’s face, It's just overall a dish that brings people together to socialize about good things. It is just the whole vibe you get from pho that is a really happy one. The negative thing about pho though is that it is considered unhealthy for you to eat all the time which is why it's like a very cherishing moment thing when you gather to eat pho with your friends, family, and all that. I myself would not recommend you to eat it every day it's just not healthy for you in the slightest to eat it every day.

Me and my family used to eat there are the time but then when we stopped eating at restaurants, we stopped eating there too. The thin crust cheese pizza is really good and so are the boneless bbq wings with ranch. 
Negative: They used to have a cookie pizza. Its just a baked chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream and a cherry. Sadly they dont sell it anymore. I dont know since when they stopped. ]]> 2020-10-06 17:27:46 UTC https://padlet.com/acarmona27/ldlwb48dsctzj9c8/wish/807689239
