Two Food Blog Reflection

  My first article is called A Couple Cooks, and the whole basis of their blog is based off the fact that they are a couple. The people, Alex and Sonja, are as they call it: “the very real husband and wife writer and photographer” and they try to make their website as easy and accessible as possible. It shows throughout their blog as well, not only did they make a cookbook, but they also split their recipes into different sections. From vegan to vegetarian, they really wanted to make sure they had options for everyone. They didn’t want to make anyone feel left out. They want every other family like them to enjoy food like they do. My second article is very similar both by name and by purpose, which is called A Family Feast. The people, Jack and Martha Pesa, have the goals of showing “our love and care to our family and friends.” Throughout their blog, they have recipes that have stories and background behind them. They think that baking a great meal is one of the best ways to show your family or friends that you truly do care about them. Giving them something that not only took you a long time to make, but also something that both you and they can enjoy together is a great idea in their eyes. They only started a blog for fun, and their motive despite the fame, is still their passion to cook.

    I really like the articles you found and especially the second one as my ideas around food and identity are similar to that of the second article and I believe that sharing home cooked meals is a great way to show compassion and care. I liked the first articles ability to provide recipes for anyone regardless of diet and it's great to see that food is able to break barriers. Good job! - Christopher Cardenas

      The post could be improved with some more insight on how the articles affected your ideas on food and inquiry and there were some commas in the wrong spot but overall this was good. - Christopher Cardenas

    I really like how structured your overall blog is but I feel like you should add more color or pictures to draw the attention of others so they want to stay on your blog more.- Christelle

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....
