Post 4: Food!


For our fourth blog post, we will be discussing one of my favorite subjects of all time: FOOD! With Thanksgiving approaching, now is a good time to reflect on the food that makes us feel good. What type of food do you like the most and why? Do you like homemade food, food from a certain restaurant, or fast food? How do you make your favorite dish? Share a recipe if you can.

Blog Posts are to be 200-300 words. Due Friday, 11/16 by 3pm.

  1. Food is my best friend. It’s so good; I pretty much eat all the time. I eat mostly when I’m bored because there’s nothing else to do. I think I’m a chubby girl trapped inside a skinny girl’s body.

    My favorite kind of food is probably home cooked meals. Even though my mom rarely cooks them they are better than going to a fast food place, or getting take out every night. My favorite thing that my Mom cooks would be quesadillas. I have them ALL the time, mostly because they are Katie’s and Katera’s favorite too, and they are always at my house. The second thing I love that my Mom makes is this apple pork chop thing. I don’t really know what it is made of, or what it is called, but it’s delicious. I actually just had it last night how ironic.

    If I had to eat out at a fancy restaurant it would probably be the Outback. That place is so good, I love their lava cake. Lava cake, in case you didn’t know, is chocolate cake with melted chocolate on the inside usually served with vanilla ice cream. I also like to get steak when I go there. I like my steak cooked medium-rare.

    All this talk about food is making me hungry, and I can’t wait until Thanksgiving. My favorite thing to eat is the bread rolls, and all the pie. My mom makes the best chocolate pie ever. It’s whipped cream and chocolate stuff mixed together on graham cracker crust. There are a whole lot more ingredients but I don’t know them unless I look up the recipe.

  3. Food is important for people to live. It is very tasty, but not all people like the same foods. I have many favorite foods.

    Thanksgiving is a time when there is tons of food. My most favorite food on Thanksgiving is stuffing. My dad makes homemade stuffing every year. It is my favorite because it has a great taste. I always want to eat more of it. My second favorite Thanksgiving food is mashed potatoes. I love my dad’s homemade mashed potatoes and I can always keep putting more on my plate until they are all gone. I love the mashed potatoes with a lot of butter and salt.

    My favorite type of food is homemade food cooked over a camp fire or on a grill. I think that food cooked over a fire just tastes better. I especially like the food my dad makes on a fire. My dad also thinks that food made on a fire has a great taste to it. My favorite food made on a fire, is my dad’s BBQ spare ribs.

    My favorite fast food is McDonald’s. I love eating McDonald’s food, especially their chicken nuggets with sweet and sour sauce. I also love their French fries and their double cheeseburgers.

    These are some of my favorite foods. I love a ton of different foods and I like to try new things. I like foods that are both good and bad for me.

  6. I really, really, really love food! My grandparents used to tell me if I didn't like something all I have to do is spit it out in a napkin, of course. When I was little I used to spit stuff out and forgot about using a napkin. (Now I spit things out in my napkin, or whatever is available. )

    I like a lot of food, but if I had to pick my favorite, I would have to say spaghetti with seafood sauce. I think one of the reasons is because my grandparents and I are from NYC, so we are used to a variety of food. I LOVE when my grandma makes her own sauce, she uses canned tomatoes, none of that lazy Ragu stuff people use ( like me when I'm alone) She gets this bag of different kinds of seafood like, octopus, squid, muscles, shrimp, ect. and other stuff I don't I don't know what it is. Then, I like to put grated cheese on. mmm good!

    I really like dessert. I love cannolis. They are so good. I love the chocolate ones. I also like ice cream, especially, chocolate mint, chocolate peanut butter, which is funny because I don't like peanut butter. I like peanut butter when it's with chocolate.

    Another thing that might sound strange is I like to eat leftovers for breakfast. Sometimes I'll have turkey, pizza, chicken, soup, for breakfast. I think my grandparents like that I do that so they don't have to throw food away.

    So, I like to eat food, especially seafood. I see food differently.

  7. So, for starters, I really love food. Food and I have a deep and meaningful relationship, we just are inseparable sometimes. The worst part is I can not cook to save my life. So this means I have to depend on everyone else to come through for me. It’s terrible.

    I like lots of different food. I like homemade food. But, sometimes we are way too busy to have time to make normal homemade food. My mom makes a few different things that I really like. I really like her peanut butter cookies, quesadillas, veggie burgers and guacamole. They are all just so tasty. I could eat them all day, everyday!

    When we go out to eat I love Panera Bread. The have the best macaroni and cheese ever. It is so yummy. I also really like Olive Garden. Their breadsticks are amazing. I also really like their cheese raviolis. I really love dessert though. I like frozen yogurt, cupcakes, ice cream, cookies and pie which sometimes we have at home, but I mostly get when we go out for food.

    I’m excited for Thanksgiving because I obviously love food, and during Thanksgiving there is just so much!I love banana bread, sweet potatoes, and, of course, all the pies. One year I tried to make a pie. I messed it up so bad, so my mom ended up making a new one. Ever since them my grandparents bring the pie.

  8. Even though people need food to live I think of it as more of a comfort. I love food. My favorite kind of food is homemade, especially the homemade desserts. When food is bought from the store it just doesn't taste the same. I am not a big fan of fast foods. The only kind of fast food that I like is French fries, but I have to admit that I like home made French fries better.
    If I had to choose out of all foods, which one was my favorite I would have to say that it would either be ham with a maple brown sugar glaze, or home made lasagna, because they are my favorite. I do not have one favorite dessert I pretty much like every kind. But if I had four kinds to choose four kinds I would choose homemade pumpkin pie, any kind of cheese cake, apple pie, and home made double chocolate brownies. These are my favorite sweets to eat when I am hungry, upset, or have nothing better to do. :)
    My sister was always the best at making dinner foods, I on the other hand was better at making desserts. ( If she ever asks you to try her brownies I'm warning you not to :P ). The fastest, and easiest type of dessert that I love to make is home made éclairs. But around holidays I like to make pies, and raspberry cheese cakes.

  9. Alright, so food. Its pretty delicioso in the words of Dora the Explorer. You need it to live but most people eat it because its just that good. I like pizza and chicken fingers, they are delicious! Which reminds me, over the summer a guy from Britain asked me if an elephant ear was made from real elephant’s ears.

    One thing that has drove me crazy for like the last year is that my dad would not eat cole slaw. He finally said that he would try it if I made it. He said this pretty much because he wanted to laugh at me as I tried to make something. I ended up making it last weekend and he said that it was alright, so I consider that a success.

    So i’m pretty sure that everyone loves food and i can understand why. Its yummy and it can cheer you up... or make you fat, depending on how much of it you eat. And I almost forgot about chicken wing dip which is the best idea ever, especially when your watching football. And I think I want to go make some now. Thats pretty much how I feel about food.

  10. Personally I like food, any kind really. But my all time favorite food is tacos. Whenever my mom makes tacos I seriously eat like 6. I just like everything about a taco, it is so delicious. When my mom makes tacos for dinner, if I’m home she buys like double the ingredients! I also love McDonald’s chicken selects mmmmhhh so good. I could probably eat McDonald’s everyday of my life without getting sick of it. I also love homemade macaroni and cheese. My Grandpa makes the best homemade macaroni and cheese, once you taste his mac and cheese you can never go back to Kraft mac and cheese it’s that good! I also really like alfredo but I always eat way too much of it and after I eat I feel like I’m going to throw up, never do though. And I always order that if we go to the Olive Garden or even Little Italy. I also love ice cream. My two favorites are ben and jerry’s phish food and mint chocolate chip. Whenever I’m sick to my stomach I crave fudgesicles, I have no idea why, it’s probably the weirdest think ever, but it always makes me feel better. Tacos are definitely my favorite though.

  11. FOOD is a really great thing. It can give you energy and make you happy, or it can fill you up. My favorite dish is probably pizza. Because you can put some many things on it. You can have just a regular cheese or a meat lover's pizza, or a vegetarian pizza, or a four cheese pizza you get my point by now you can put a lot of stuff on a pizza and that's why i like it so much. Probably my second favorite dish would have to be stuffed shell's. Why you ask because their delicious, I would probably ask for that and pizza if i was stranded on a island and i could only pick food. But there's a lot of food out there that's really good and i am truly happy about that.

  13. First off I have to state that food is really good! Once you get to a certain age there is nothing more you can really try unless you go somewhere “weird”, or far away. I am going to Europe this summer. I will be trying so many different kinds of food and I can’t wait. In France I can taste one of my favorite dishes ever, French toast. This isn’t the kind you make at home or get from some restaurant, this is real French toast. Everybody that I talked to said that the highlight of the trip is tasting escargot. Escargot is snail. This sounds gross to me but I guess I am going to have to try it.

    In Italy I can taste another one of my favorite dishes ever pizza. I love pizza so much and trying it in Italy will be so great. I can also have spaghetti and a thousand other foods I can’t even pronounce the name of.

    In Greece I can’t even begin to think of all the good food I am going to have. I can taste real Greek yogurt and not that Chobani crap everyone calls yogurt. I can also have real cheese.

    Without food we probably would all die. I don’t know one person that doesn’t love food. If a person doesn’t have a variety of food they will get bored and be a very boring person (like Janai).

    3. I think it's funny you called Chobani crap because on the commercial they it said it's the best in the world. It goes to show that you can't trust commercials!

  16. Oh GOD. Foood. Mr. T, thank you so much for picking this topic. So, I mean, I really....no I REALLY love food. More than any of these hooligans up there. Like if it came down to choosing my best friend or a dish of the finest cooked dishes of homemade food with some chocolate cake and an unlimited amount of ice cream, I’d probably pick the second option. Sorry, not sorry, guys.

    Let’s start out by telling what my favorite foods are. I like homemade mac and cheese, hamburgers, french fries, ice cream, KRISPY KREME’S, cake, bread, captain crunch, stuffed shells, fettucini alfredo, lasagna, cookies, banana bread, apple pie, apple crisp, bread rolls, turkey, chicken, steak, pumpkin pie, pineapples, bananas, zebra cakes, swiss rolls, fruit snacks, bagels with cream cheese, french toast, chocolate chip pancakes, waffles, and well.. basically everything. I mean, it’s not like I’m fat or anything. I just eat all the time. Mainly when I’m bored or at Kylie’s house, because EVERYbody knows Kylie’s house has got the good stuff. Yah know what I’m sayin’ Mr. T? I think if you went to her house (which you shouldn’t do, because that’s HIGHLY inappropriate) you would really enjoy yourself. I’m not saying that you’re fat or anything, but...well, let’s be real, you aren’t iron man. I’m just kidding. Maybe..MERHERHER

    Sometimes, when I go to my Grandma’s house, I make food. I’m not the best cook but I make exceptional food. Not really though. One time, I made a cake from scratch..Let’s just say, I was coughing for five minutes after I took one bite of it because it was so dry. I brought it home for my dad to eat it. The next day, he told me not to make another cake like that again because it was gross. He’s very encouraging on my cooking skills.

  18. My favorite food is steak. I prefer New York Strip steak which is a really tender. It really makes me feel good when I am eating a huge steak. My favorite way to make it is on an outdoor grill. My dad makes it by using salt, pepper and Everglades seasoning. My dad’s steak is the best in the world. I like steak because beef is my favorite type of meat. Steak is the best when served with potatoes and corn. My favorite restaurant to get steak is at Delmonico’s Italian Steakhouse in Rochester, NY. When I go there, I get a Delmonico steak that is twenty-four ounces. It comes with past, that has the best sauce in the world on it. They also give you bread with garlic butter that’s really good.


    My second favorite food is homemade pulled pork. My mom makes pulled pork that is the best I have ever had. My mom uses a shoulder pork roast to make it. She then uses root beer to let it marinate in and cook in. The root beer gives it really good flavor when it is done. The pulled pork is the best when you use Dinosaur Barbeque sauce. The pulled pork is perfect with fresh rolls and homemade cole slaw.

  19. Food is a great topic, without food no one would be alive. Food is one of the three things needed to survive. Everyone loves food. There are many different kinds of food, and there a lot of different types of foods. People like different foods. There are various types such as seafood, fast food, Italian, Chinese, Mexican, etc. etc. The list goes on and on. Trying new foods is always good. You might find something you thought was gross to be the best food you ever tasted.

    My favorite food is pizza. My favorite type of pizza is from Catalia's and I do not like any toppings on pizza. I have trouble finding pizza that I dislike, other than the school's pizza. A lot of people like pizza, I do not believe I have ever found anyone who has not liked some kind of pizza. My favorite part of pizza is the crust, I like the crust a lot. My second favorite pizza is Marian's pizza, they have a really good pizza aswell. Marian's pizza has the perfect amount of everything on there pizza. They have a phenomenal crust.

    My second favorite type of food is Speedies, my dad makes really good speedies. The best type of speedies is chicken or pork speedies, I cannot decide.

  20. Let me just say that I love food! I especially love home-made food. My favorite is my mom's home-made German potatoe salad. It's amazing, I do know the recipe, but I've been told I'm not allowed to share the recipe. But for thoughs of you who have no idea what Greman potatoe salad is, it pretty much regular potatoe salad with bacon. I mean bacon makes everything better does it not? :)

    I also like buffalo chicken wing dip. The last time that I made chicken wing dip was with Evaughn, at my house. To make it you just mix two bars of cream cheese, hot sauce, cheese, ranch dressing and chicken. Put that in a bowl that can go in the oven and cover that with more cheese. Baked it in you oven on 350, til the cheese melts.

    But if we do get take out, we all agree that it has to be Italian. I love Italian food, me favorite Italian dish I've ever eaten was chicken and breaded eggplant with tomateoes and like a parasen cheese on top. It like melted in my mouth it was just so good. But just like pretty much everyone else I like pizza. Pizza is just one of those foods that you really can't not like, it that makes sense to anyone, because no matter what you can pretty much put everything on a pizza.

    Food is just one of those topics that people will be talking forever because no matter how much you travel, there will always be a food that you've never tried. And today there are so many different takes on traditional dishes, that there are endless possiblities to just one dish. Now talking about food, makes me want for it to be Thanksgiving already. I can't wait for my family, and when I say family I mean everybody and their brother; in my family, to show up on Thanksgiving day, watch the parade and eat some amazing home-made food made by my mom and maybe this year she'll let me help.

  21. Like all teenagers, espcially teenage girls, I LOVE food. Any food. Almost all food. Food is a best friend, a comfort, and always there for you! It's the best thing that this world has ever created!

    My favorite foods? Oh gosh, I have so many...Including the places WHERE I get my food! Pizza Hut, for the pizza and the best wings ever. McDonalds, for the greatest fries this side of the universe. Anyone know about the Circle E in Hancock? It was the very first restaurent I had even been to when I was small, and I still love going there. They just have the best everything, of all kinds of food.

    The kind of food I love best is bread. At Thanksgiving, I could eat ALL the breadrolls, which are normally like a cheesey garlic kind. And toast. I could eat toast everyday. In elementary, I used to always eat the toast for breakfest. Then they got rid of it, which was kinda' sad... In high school, last year, I used to eat the english muffins, with the egg and sausage? Then the people got rid of THAT... Some people just don't like kids eating, I guess.

    Speaking of Thanksgiving, I can NOT wait! This year, my grandparents are cooking for ourselves and my uncle and his girlfriend and kids. We're gonna' have a full house, with LOTS of food. The turkey, of course, mashed potatoes( usually the flake kind, I HATE the real stuff), and the yummy rolls, and some kind of pie, and my ALL TIME FAVORITE, cranberry sauce. My uncle and I fight over it a little bit...(:

    Well. That was my fangirling on food. Obvisously, food is a HUGE part of peoples lives, because duh, it keeps you alive! But in todays society, most people eat out of boredom or feelings, not just to stay alive. Which can be a bad thing. Most of the time, food is a GREAT thing!

  22. My favorite food, being Italian, is Cannoli's. A Cannoli is a crusted shell that has mascarpone cheese and cream cheese. Sometimes people put small chocolate chips on the ends of them. I have always loved cannolis from the first time i have tried them.
    My dad would always go to New York City for work and sometimes he would bring back a box from a bakery from there. Most of the time he'd get about 4 or 5 but they would be gone within a day.
    My other favorite food is Creme Bule, which is a French dessert. It is a pudding like substance but it is much sweeter. there is also a sugar glazed top that is burnt to solidify the sugar. The first time i had Creme Bule it was at Walkins Glen at a German resturant named Castle Grisch. I originally wanted cheesecake which is also one of my favorite desserts. I have much more to write about but i dont think i can rant on about it in this blog.....so......yeah.

  23. Well, like everyone I love food. I pretty much like all kinds of food. Food is just a good time.

    Im not really a big fan of sea food, unless if it's lobster. I don't think I have a favorite food, but I like ziti, and pastas and such. Everybody knows what ziti is. I love it when theirs a lot of cheese on there! We usually have it as a family dinner. I eat food all the time. When i'm bored, and when I'm not bored. Food is basically my best friend. I know it'll always be there whenever I need it!

    I also love chicken wing dip, and ice cream, and sweet potato casserole. I love food. Sweet potato casserole is basically just sweet potatoes mashed up with butter and whipped cream blended, and the topping is crushed walnuts, brown sugar, and butter! It's the best dessert!

    I don't think I can go on talking about food much longer. I am starting to get kinda hungry. That also might be because I'm bored? But yeah I love food.
