(Period 3) Like Water for Chocolate by Cindy Ortiz https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux 1. Pick a food that has value to you or has a story behind it. This should be something that is important to you and brings you comfort. 2. On Padlet, post what your food is and describe in a paragraph (5 sentences min.) how that story is significant to you or what memory you have from it. 3. OPTIONAL: On Friday, bring in your dish to share with the class. This is completely optional and will not affect your grade in the class. Just bring in what the recipe yields, it will be a sampling of food! en-us 2022-04-27 16:44:23 UTC 2026-01-19 23:48:52 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f36b.png Yes, I am bringing food. cortiz20 https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2160737492 2022-04-27 16:44:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2160737492 No, I am not bringing food. cortiz20 https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2160737495 2022-04-27 16:44:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2160737495 Dish name here! cortiz20 https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2160737498 Explain the dish and why it is valuable or comforting to you here.]]> 2022-04-27 16:44:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2160737498 Lawrence 300017640 https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163106853 I got a love-hate relationship with food.

It is important to me because my dad and I love flan and flan. We are the only ones in my family that really like it so it was always something we bonded over when I was younger. My dad and I unfortunately have had a really bad relationship then and currently. We don't talk anymore. Therefore this dish is a comfort food to me as it reminds me of the good times and moments between me and my dad. ]]> 2022-04-28 18:08:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163115215 300021002 https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163115736 I think it's a great way to underline the hidden message behind something, adding a lot of detail, drawing the readers attention. The book incorporated it in a way that the message was very obvious, using a lot of details. The only way magical realism doesn't work is if the reader doesn't quite understand the message the narrator is attempting to reveal. ]]> 2022-04-28 18:09:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163115736 Box of Matches 3000172161 https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163117341 The box of matches is most significant to me because I feel like I am starting to light the matches within.

Food is a big part of my life. However, its been hard to eat enough.Its been a little harder ever since I've been going to the gym.

The memory that is attached to it would be the first time I ever tried it at a restaurant. I'm not gonna lie I can't take the spice of some of the Peruvian food my family was eating, so this dish was perfect for me because it was savory and tasty. The dish was delicious and not spicy at all. My mom first introduced it to me and ever since then I associated it with her ever since. She tried making it once and said she messed up, but it was probably better than the ones I had before. Instead of using spaghetti, she used angel hair]]> 2022-04-28 18:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163120579 Brooklyn B 800021019 https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163120620 To me, food is a way to bring different cultures and people together. There are many types of food from different cultures but it's still something that everyone is able to enjoy. My family has had many exchange students mostly from Italy, Germany, and Japan. It's fun to taste the many different foods they make in their country and how those foods are different than the way we make them here.]]> 2022-04-28 18:11:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163120620 3000172161 https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163129639 Magical Realism is an interesting genre because the author takes a big message and finds a way to blend it in with the story being told. I think It worked because it cause the reader to dig deeper into the story to find the underlining message.

When I was younger, my godfather which was also my uncle, began to take me out to eat on Sunday afternoons. I know it doesn't sound like much but it had a big impact on me because I didn't grow up with my dad as he passed away a couple months before I was born. This small but important gesture made me begin to see him as a father figure and just a strong role model. These days would give me something to look forward too during the week and just made me feel loved and gave me a strong connection with him and the food.]]> 2022-04-28 18:26:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163145241 Alyssa Penate 400017203 https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163152271 Food has always carried a lot of importance to me and my family. Of course food provides nutrients and is needed to live but it has a deeper meaning to us. I specifically love to cook, its one of my favorite things to do. It is very relaxing and calming to me and I cook very good which makes it even better. It also brings my family together as we all love to cook. Its a type of bonding moment for us as we cook together. ]]> 2022-04-28 18:30:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163152271 Tabitha M. https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163161335 Food to me is very meaningful because it makes me happy and energized.

Pozole brings an importance significance to my family and I because it is my mom's most popular dish. To me, my mom's pozole is the best pozole I have tried. Usually when my mom makes pozole, everyone gathers together so we can eat. Of course it is common to eat it during winter, closer to Christmas and New Years, but luckily my mom makes this plate throughout the year. Ever since I can remember, pozole has been my favorite dish and it continues to be so. ]]> 2022-04-28 18:53:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163187805 300021002 https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163196550 The most significant recipe to me was the box of matches. Finding your purpose can be hard to find when you have many interests, and the chapter helped reassure me in a way, that it is okay to have more than just one. ]]> 2022-04-28 19:00:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163196550 ximena alonso 300021013 https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163197520 Food to me means a greater significance than just a dish. Food is a blessing to have. Food can also have a personal significance. I would say food is a blessing because not even gets to eat a meal everyday nor get to fullfill their cravings. Food can play a personal significance regarding losing/gaining weight, traditional, memories, or even a hobby. Food can bring different meanings to different people.]]> 2022-04-28 19:01:28 UTC https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163197520 ximena alonso 300021013 https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163213898 Pozole is my important dish to me. A memory I always get when my mom cooks pozole is her always being the last one ready due to the time it takes to prepare the food. My mom usually makes pozole for Christmas but if we get lucky she makes it 1-2 a month. My mom makes the red kind and i dont know what she puts in there but it always taste flavourful. ]]> 2022-04-28 19:12:30 UTC https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163213898 Christopher R 300021399 https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163247127 Food is very important to me and my family. It's important because it helps provides life - we need it it so survive. But it also has a deeper meaning with myself and many others. It gives us a way to express how we're feeling whether its a negative or positive emotion. ]]> 2022-04-28 19:36:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163247127 Brooklyn 800021019 https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163273993 The dish that is important to me is my dad's Spaghetti. There are many different memories that I have with this dish because my dad made the dish when he was younger adding his own ingredients and he passed it on to us. however, the biggest one would have to be when I came back from a road trip. My dad got home before me and my other family and he decided to make his Spaghetti. When everyone came home we all gathered around the TV to watch a movie until we one by one left to go to sleep.

On rainy days when I was younger, my grandma would always have hot chocolate with a side of bread ready for me and my grandpa to enjoy. It was always my favorite thing to come home to especially knowing I'd be able to sit and share stories with my grandpa. Those conversations are something that I'll always hold on to. There's nothing unique added to the dish other than the memories and comfort that comes with it.]]> 2022-04-28 20:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163283444 Brooklyn 800021019 https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163289540 The pasta contains onions, spicy Italian sausage, tomato sauce, tomato paste, red and green bell peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, red wine vinegar, sugar, Italian seasoning, and spaghetti noodles. Remembering this dish makes my eyes burn a little from the memory of cutting onions. once you start cooking the onions with the sausage you know exactly what is being made with the delicious smell. The sauce isn't too thick or runny but it's just enough in between to cover the noodles with flavor. Just thinking about it makes me crave it.

It moved the story along in great detail such as showing the deep emotions Tita felt putting it into the food and spreading to others. It didn't just show the emotions of Tita but also the effect of what other characters emotions did to themselves. However when reading a story that has to do with magical realism you have to be on the look out constantly because if you don't get what the magical realism is you could be missing a huge plot from the story. This story was wonderful in getting you into the characters and always left you wanting more however I still think she shouldve ended up with John.]]> 2022-04-28 20:28:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163305820 The Ox-Tail Soup 400017203 https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2163306317 The Ox-Tail Soup was a very important comfort food for Tita as it helped her heal and overcome the trauma and mental breakdown she had from Mama Elena. This food reminded her of Nacha and those moments with her. Remembering those moments cured Tita. This soup is significant to me because I feel like I can relate to Tita with Chocoflan. Chocoflan is a comfort food for me because it reminds me of the good moments with my dad.

This has been one of our family favorites ever since I was little. It reminds me of before we got our kitchen redone, when my siblings were young with me and we would all eat dinner together and this was our favorite dinner. It came from my grandma who taught my mom how to make it. It also reminds me of the first time my boyfriend came over to my house, about a year ago.

As far as i know my mom does add a twist as to its recipe as generally our family back in Mexico and in the states add their own twist to food and may add something else or add a little more to something than what is supposed to but to the point where it is still good or even better than the usual but as far as i know i do not know any specifics.

It really worked by the magical realism adding a lot more significance to the events in the story showing the gravity of the conflicts.

My mom would always make me them if I was sick also being able to crack the shell and eat the egg inside is really fun to me. Also during parties we always have colorful hard boiled eggs regardless of the occasion its a family tradition. For example for St. Patricks day we have green hard boiled eggs for Christmas we have Green and Red hard boiled eggs. Of course for easter we have a multitude of various hard boiled egg colors. The hard boiled egg brings many found memories for me. ]]> 2022-05-12 00:29:31 UTC https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2180281292 Paul C https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2180283140 Only Egg]]> 2022-05-12 00:30:52 UTC https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2180283140 Paul C https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2180284705 The box of matches and being able to have something start with in me just everything about this chapter was really special for me.]]> 2022-05-12 00:32:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2180284705 Paul C https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2180285935 Overall I really enjoyed the magical realism genre.

As weird as it sounds, it has been something I have loved for all my life. I would eat cereal every morning, and at one point during High School, I would eat it every night. Since I would have it so often, all of my friends and family knew that it was one of my favorite dishes. The food reminds me of my childhood. Every morning as a kid I would wake up really early before school, make some cereal, and watch some cartoons. When I was younger, my parents would occasionally let me and my sisters eat cereal on the couch at night while we all watched movies together. 300021169 https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2192484126 2022-05-20 05:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2192484126 Milk, cereal.

While diversity and inclusivity are fundamental aspects of food that make it so enjoyable, they have been largely forgotten. The media has exacerbated a harmful diet culture and unending body comparison. More than anything, food is currently something to be controlled without effort to learn or understand its value. 

    To me, food is meant to be consumed in the company of others or as a form of comfort. It is an opportunity for shared conversation, peace, and laughter.

Growing up with a turbulent home life, it was rare to share moments with my family that made me feel loved and safe. Almost every year we would make tamales before Christmas to share with my mom’s side of the family. My mom, older sisters, and I would spend hours in the kitchen together to make enough for everyone to eat and have extras to take home. My dad was never around and in the early parts of my life my mom had many internal and external struggles that were understandably prioritized more than me. My sisters are much older and had a closer relationship at the time which left me on the outside. This time of the year brought everyone together into one inclusive memory. 

    When I think of tamales I’m reminded of Kierstyn before a future of love, creativity, and adulthood seemed out of reach. I think of a time when Kayla first saw the possibility of freedom before my mom’s financial burdens buried her. I compare my mom’s bad days to her good days when she would push herself to create memories for us. The food creates a feeling of safety, reassurance, and grief. 

    I don’t know if we did something special to the food or not. The process was the same every time.

    I was really young when we made these so I think of the texture of the masa since I would use that the most. I remember always asking to carry the bag of masa at the store, too. I would have to lean back to hold it with both my arms.

I related to the author’s descriptions of helplessness and grief. The image of Tita crying into the cake only for the wedding guests to be consumed by such overwhelming sadness that they become nauseous and create a mess relfective of Tita’s emotional anguish was weirdly captivating to me. It was unique and the obserdity may be distracting for many people but I thought it communicated her feelings really well. ]]> 2022-05-21 04:08:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2193691993 Kyra A https://padlet.com/cortiz20/lm6amnsvqpv512ux/wish/2193693518 It’s definitely sparked an interest in the magical realism genre.
