Food Blog 1 (What I Eat)


 Today I ate a combination of Pizza, Fries, and a mixture of Fanta and Mountain Dew.


Pizza is an amazing dish. melted cheese on top of tomato sauce and bread is one of the most popular foods in the world. Which is why it's a shame that I can't enjoy it to what some people say is the fullest. A popular topping among pizza enjoyers is pepperoni, which is made from pork. Being Muslim, its heavily advised to not eat pepperoni, so I can only listen to people's descriptions of the taste. Despite the limitations I continue to try and enjoy one of my favorite foods.

I have gotten a handful of people asking me why I would make such a concoction such as Fanta and Mountain Dew, and its because I wanted to make a uniquely tasting beverage. In fact, there have been plenty of times where I have made different combinations of foods just because. Trying to see which pair of drinks go nicely together is a great activity to get creativity flowing.

The fries admittedly is the least interesting of the foods I ate. That, however, doesn't mean it isn't any good. Sometimes it's okay to go for the basics as long as it gets the job done, which is a sentiment people nowadays should take more to heart. It's always important to strive to be the best, to be different, but it's also important to stick with the simple things.

    This response to the “What I Eat” project is amazing. I haven’t seen many people actually do a what I eat like this. I like how you explain you cultural identity and how you can not eat pepperoni.

    Anyways, your whole blog is amazing. Each post has it’s own concept and ideas. Maybe adding an about me page, or something along those lines would make it even better. - Gabby

Food Commercial Paragraphs

  Video Link The Burger King commercial, popularized this year, advertises their signature Whopper in its many variations to convince the viewer to order from their menu. For one, they use a very catchy jingle throughout the advertisement. From just someone humming it you could recognize that It’s from Burger King, and they do that so the melody can get stuck inside your head. Imagine just hearing “Whopper Whopper Whopper Whopper” in your head when you're trying to do work, you're going to crave some Burger King eventually. Which is going to cause people to sing their song out loud, causing other people to want to remember the song and have some Burger King. Which is the restaurant’s plan at the end of the day: To get the song to spread causing everyone to want food from Burger King. Another visual signal that helps advertise Burger King’s menu is how they make the food look heavily appetizing. They make sure to have the patties be as juicy and savory as possible, while making ...

Week 1 "Aha" Moment

My “aha” moment was very much building up since I saw everyone's project. Seeing people make their assignment about their culture and foods that were very much tied with their identity really made me think about my own culture and identity. Despite my slides being about my life in a meaningful manner, it had nothing to do with the fact that I was black and / or Muslim . Which was something that I was inspired to do after seeing other’s blogs. I decided to get braids for the first time, since I always wanted to get them and I was influenced by everyone else’s connection to their culture. Despite how painful it was to endure the process, It ended up looking pretty good on me. Some of my friends here also agreed and I thought it was something that most people would be on board with. Sadly, it never was like that. I ended up with a lot of stares from not so friendly people. People who just so happen to be white, and most likely from more suburban areas. Places that wouldn’t usually hav...

Final Blog Reflection

  The idea of the blog at first was very daunting, since I always related a blog to a lot of commitment and consistency. Which is why I never really had a general theme other than the fact that the blog was about me. I was afraid to put my genuine work out there and instead I decided to go with the bare minimum needed. However, I did slowly grow into the blog and felt more comfortable putting myself out there. The week one “aha moment” was a great example of this, as I talked about my experience having cornrows and the reactions I got from my peers as well as the general consensus I got from people around me. Overall, I still kept it general so It can relate to everyone on a personal level. The first time I really talked about a personal subject was when we were making PSA videos. I didn’t really have an idea on food itself, but then I remembered it just had to be related to food. Knowing that, I decided to talk about my country of Somalia and how they are struggling with food....
