Module 1 Assignment
Growing up in a small town has the advantage of being a close-knit community, unfortunately this also meant that exposure to foreign delicacies is not a common occurrence. As a child, I developed a strong dislike for any foods that I viewed as abnormal, and became quite a finicky eater. Thus, my familiarity with Italian food is somewhat limited to restaurant dishes, and recipes that friends exuberantly claim to be a crime if not made. While being a student in Victoria, I have had the opportunity to live in various different areas, some of which were next door to outdoor markets. Much like the markets described by Braimbridge et al.,(2005) in The Food of Italy, the bread was baked fresh daily, the produce fresh and locally

This is where the smells of cooked tomatoes, garlic, cheese, fresh focaccia bread, and pasta can be found in infinite bounds. Despite not having personally traveled to Italy, my connecting link to Italian cuisine can be found through this restaurant and their pasta. As Brombert (2013) explains in Italian Identity in the Kitchen, or Food and the Nation, Italians abroad are referred to as “macaroni-eaters,” for dried pasta, or maccheroni, particularly those from the southern regions. The experience that one encounters in Pagliacci’s is very much how I would imagine restaurants in Italy to be, packed with tables close together to encourage the social environment that is so crucial to Italian culture. An essential component upon entering is of course bread, an endless supply of freshly made focaccia bread to be exact. This is in line with the Italian custom to always eat bread with a meal, for it is very much an essential component. Similar to the history of bread, in which it was used as the last stand against hunger, when eaten to excess this mouth-watering bread can come close to being a meal in it of itself. The dish that I fall back on most frequently here provides me with an intimate knowledge of the flavors of the Italian world for it involves many classic ingredients. Fresh tomatoes soaked in red wine, mushrooms, basil, and olive combined with the linguine noodle and topped with
The two parts in this assignment will contribute equally to your grade and will be evaluated separately.
As an Arab immigrant who was raised in the United States since he was seven years old, who lived in Michigan seeing Arabs everyday and never felt like he was in a foreign country; and moving to NYC in 2015, changed the whole style of my life. NYC the tremendous city that I couldn’t find the people that I knew and that I understood nor those that understands me because of our massive cultural differences, and believes. The biggest problem is when I started school in NYC. The school system was different because in NYC they had regents, also their credit requirements were different, for that I was behind in credits and didn’t know what was the regents. Also, I came to school almost at the end of the First marking period of the second semester of freshman year.
A couple days after I was born, my family learned that something was different about me. When the doctor performed the routine examination to assess my health, he discovered that I did not respond to loud noises. Usually, a baby would cry, but this was not the case for me. Eventually, I was diagnosed with hearing loss.
Before starting my day, I usually put on a earphone and press “shuffle play” on my Throwback playlist on my Spotify account. The most recent five songs that I have listened to before writing this assignment was You Rock My World - With intro by Michael Jackson, Baby, I’m Back by Baby Bash, Just The Two Of Us by Grover Washington, Charlene by Anthony Hamilton, and Show Me The Way by Earth Wind & Fire. Interestingly I have never heard these songs until last year because I was only exposed to music that was on the radio station such as 94.9 or 106.1 where newest and trending songs were played most often. Since three of those songs were produced in early 2000’s and the other two produced between the 1970s and 1980s, I was never able to come across
On Saturday, September 12, 2015, I was assigned to the 6 Northwest as the security officer. At approximately 0500 hours while breakfast trays were being distributed in pod 100, an inmate, later identified as Kimmie Hawkins became insolent and advised me to get out of the pod. I immediately asked him whom he was talking to and simultaneously walked over to him to view his armband. As I reached for Inmate Hawkins’s left wrist, he snatched away from me, got in a boxing stance, and began bouncing rhythmically on his toes. Therefore, I retrieved my T.A.S.E.R. from its holster and gave Inmate Hawkins loud verbal commands to get on the floor. However, he refused to follow my orders; therefore, I pushed him toward the wall and continued to instruct
The first things I noticed were block paragraphs that were numbered. Also, I noticed numbers and dates.
Base on data that my field placement teacher had already collected, I decided to review with the students over Perfect Verb Tense. This is one concept that a lot of the students had a problem grasping the first time and with the Georgia Milestones coming up, they needed some more practice. I know that most of my students are EIP students, so I picked a video to start with as a refresher and then went straight into a review game to keep the students interested in the lesson. Then from there, I picked activities that I knew the students could have fun with base on the interests of my students, activities I’ve seen them play with before, and base on what they are struggling with. For example, the foldable activity is a great activity for my EIP
When the class was asked to read the story silently to themselves, T was only able to do this for a few minutes before his attention was focused on something else. In the book, it says, “attention is essential to the learning process” (Mcdevitt & Ormrod, 2013, p.240) T loses attention quickly when he is asked to do something on his own. When he loses attention I wonder if his learning process is being hindered because of this?
Christopher was engaged in conversation with CM. CM asked Christopher about his training with Project Clean (Wells Life Network) on 03/05/2018. Christopher replied "that it was OK. I go there Monday- Friday from 10 am to 3 pm, but I have to leave the house at 8 am". CM applauded Christopher for using time management by leaving the house 2 hours before his start time, by ensuring he gets to work for 10am. CM asked Christopher how he gets to Project Clean, since he has to leave 2 hours ahead of his start time. Christopher replied, “I take the bus. I use a MetroCard. I gave the paperwork (SSI award letter) to get a free MetroCard”. CM commended Christopher for providing the documentation (SSI award letter) in a timely manner to ensure
Red Wing is an important town in Goodhue County, Minnesota. It sits along the Mississippi River near the Barn Bluff and the Mississippi. In 1873, Red Wing, MN was the center of production, milling, marketing and transport for what
The primary resource that I am connecting to this assignment is Eva Sandoval’s blog post on “10 Great Roman Dishes.” In particular, I was interested by the final dish on her list, rigatoni con la pajata, rigatoni prepared with a sauce made from the “creamy contents” of a milk-fed calf’s small intestine. She concluded that in recent years, the dish has been deemed unlawful and became challenging to find in Rome if you don’t know where to look. Reading about this special rigatoni reminded me of the first time I learned of the Italian dish I would most like to try: casu marzu, also known as formaggio marcio.
America's style of Italian food isn’t at all what they make at Italy. The food in Italy is so different from the looks of the food to taste and smell. Chiara tried the pizza in America and found out that it’s very different than back home. In Italy they eat a whole pizza by themselves, but when she got a pizza at dominos she only got one slice, and was surprised because she’s used to eating a whole pizza. She doesn’t really like the pizza in America. She says it’s too thick and heavy.
Italy has always fascinated me so I decided to do my paper about a region of Italy called Umbria. In this all go over the cuisine, culture, and more about this region. Umbria is an Italian region bordering Tuscany, Lazio and Le Marche. The Umbria region is in between Rome and Florence. One reason why I picked this region was I had heard that out of any place in Italy this is the spot for meat lovers. As the website said Umbria satisfies all palates: the best dish for meat lovers is pork, masterfully treated by Umbrian butchers who turn the meat into delicacies like sausages, tasty hams and salami, like those of Norcia, to eat with unsalted bread that brings out the taste. So as a pretty meat loving guy I wanna visit this region some time. Beside meat and general fascination with Italy my other reason for like this region cuisine wise is my favorite T word… TRUFFLES. I love the robust taste of truffles whether on my fries, pizza or burger (the only way I’ve had it) I love the flavor.
Looking back on my life experiences, I can’t help but smile in response to every memory of struggle, success, and change for each experience has served as a page in a larger, unfinished story. Growing up my identity has been strongly tied to my upbringing in a traditional Italian household with my father, mother, and brother. My upbringing has thus included an emphasis on food, family and friends, and culture. The backyard of my childhood home in San Mateo, California was complete with slowly growing key ingredients in a variety of Italian dishes. Considering my father’s parents emigrated from Liguria, a region in Italy most famously known as the birthplace of pesto, growing basil allowed us to maintain a connection with our heritage. As a child I remember playing in my backyard with my brother, careful to not roll the ball in the dirt where the basil was growing. That would ruin the fun of picking it with my dad and making it with my mom. Yet, the truly satisfying aspect of this tradition was sitting down as a family, which often included my maternal grandparents, and sharing a meal complete with numerous anecdotes.
Italian dishes range from ‘Antipasti’ ’meaning before meal time, thus appetizers to special bread or Pane, and include the common recipes of pizza, rice dishes, fish, vegetables and many pasta dishes. Many Italian Chefs consider quality ingredients to be the most fundamental aspect of the dishes. The preparation of the food is secondary. The chefs have many elaborate ways to prepare each and every meal. Although the dishes were quite regional, their influence has stretched far and wide with some variation especially in the United States. Wine and cheese have played a major role in the preparations for the meal. However, there are many variations in recopies for different
