Food, Food, and More Food

Food, Food, and More Food

One of my fondest food memories is with my grandpa. Every time my grandparents would come to visit us my grandpa and I would go to Krispy Kreme and get doughnuts every morning for everybody. After we returned from the driving around we would both sit down and  watch football while eating and he would sit there drinking coffee while I was next to him drinking chocolate milk. He would then give me lectures and tell me stories.

                Another food memory that I have from my grandpa is one of us getting in trouble on a daily basis. My grandpa and I both loved food and we always seemed to be eating. And on occasions we would steal from the kitchen when my mom and grandma was cooking diner. But it never failed for us to get in trouble since according to my grandma we were “spoiling our appetites”. But the thing that we always got yelled at the most for was when we would come back from the store with McDonalds when we were set to eat diner in an hour. But my grandpa would always make a good excuse up to calm my grandma down.

I’ve really never been a picky eater there only a few foods that I don’t like, like mushrooms, mustard, olives, and that’s pretty much it, oh and coffee. But I’m always trying new things and I rarely turn food down. When I went to Costa Rica I tried all kinds of different foods that I couldn’t get at home in the states and almost everything that I tried I enjoyed plus all of the fresh fruit that I ate was amazing I wish that I could be back there right now just to get some of the fruit.

movie survey

·         It is really hard for me to pick a single movie that I like but I like older movies like Mad Max, the Goonies, James Bond, and the Last Castle. I just really like the old feeling of the movies and sometimes the cheesiness of them.

·         I don’t really care for drama and romantic movies because they lack action and they are slow paced.

·         I usually see new movies maybe once a month at Campbell 16.

·         It really doesn’t matter where I am when watching a movie as long as it’s quite and I have popcorn and a drink.

·         What I klearned from this survey is that I am aggressive and open to new experiences and that I am conscious of what people think of me. The movies I would want to watch are all action war movies.

·         If my life were to be made into a movie it would be depressing and auctioned packed also at times but the main parts would be slow and boring.

 

dan in real life

·         What are three tips you would give to parents of teenagers.

o   I would tell them that the more you tell them they can’t do something the more they will want to do it so don’t make a big deal out of the little things. Also you need to let them make their own mistakes and don’t try to control every aspect of their lives. Then last of all give them space all they want is to be away from you and if you try to keep them next to you they are going to run.

·         Can you know after three days that you love someone?

o   Yes and no. I believe that you can fall in love after three days but it is premature and you are bound to get hurt if the other person doesn’t feel the same way. But I do believe in love at first sight just not the belief that it will be forever.

·         Where was your best hiding spot as a kid?

o   My best hiding spot as a kid was at my old house in my closet, I had some shelves high up that I could get onto and no one could see me. I also had a hiding spot in my attic but I almost fell through the ceiling so I never hid there again.

·         Describe your perfect day.

o   My perfect day would start with me sleeping in until 10:00 then I would go sky diving then bungee jumping I would the go to Fiji for an afternoon of swimming then I would go to Paris to eat lunch after lunch I would go scuba diving in Australia then I would learn to fly and end the day eating diner in my own home.

·         Are you a good bowler?

o   I like to think I am but I’m a long way away from being a professional.

You could say that I am a food fanatic. It has been one of my passions to cook and just explore the taste of the world. From an early age I always loved to add my own spin on food, I always try new things and there are only for foods that I won’t eat. When I went to Costa Rica with my family I had to try every food I could find. I tried scorpions, fried bananas, a mash of all kinds of foods put into one dish of some kind but there wasn’t anything I did not like. If I could make a living off of eating food I would but eating doesn’t pay very well.  It’s a real shame because I think that I would make a really good critic.

An adventure awaits.

An adventure awaits.

Once there was a boy named Timmy, Timmy liked to wonder around the woods all by himself. One day he decided that he was going to go further into the woods than he had ever done before. So he packed a backpack with supplies just in case he got hungry or cold.

            So Timmy took of around 11:00 that morning and just started to walk. After about an hour and he came to a big cliff with a lake below it, so Timmy hurried down the cliff to the lake. After he got down off the cliff to the lake he sat down and enjoyed the beautiful view. And once he looked around he noticed a cave in the side of the local mountain.

 

                So Timmy set off for the cave and once he got there he was in awe. It was a beautiful overgrown cave with a water fall. And tall trees and ivy almost hide the cave from the world. As he pulls back the ivy he sees something shinny inside of the cave. he got excited and ripped the ivy down and in front of him was piles of gold silver and money left behind by someone long ago

.

                Timmy immediately ran and jumped into the mounds of money and started to think of ways to spend it. But once he got to thinking of buying anything he wanted he found out that it wouldn’t be that easy and decided to see what his friends would think. But then he realized he would have to share it with them so he would tell no one. But later that night his parents asked what he did all day and he told them about the lake and the cave and the money but they didn’t believe him. So the next day he took them to the cave and sure enough the money was there and his parents were dumb founded and they lived happily ever after.

 

childhood

The one memory that really sticks out in my head from my child hood is always with my grandpa. I used to see him every weekend and we always had fun, but we always would get in trouble from my mom and grandma. But the one memory that sticks out the most is at their house they had a carpet sled that my grandpa would pull me and my sister around in. and whenever I wanted to play or do anything my grandpa wouldn’t hesitate to play with me. And he would always take me to krispy kreme even though we weren’t supposed to. The most important person in my life when I was growing was my grandpa. He was a ups driver and in the National Guard. He is the main reason that I want to be in the military. He always taught me how to be a respectful gentlemen and how to treat woman. He always gave me lessons on how to fix things around the house and even tell me stories on how he learned all this stuff. And when he got deployed to Afghanistan he would send back all kinds of souvenirs and photos. I miss him so much and I know he would be proud of how I have turned out. The cartoon that was the most memorable for me growing up was either the Simpsons or Tom and Jerry. I have seen every episode of both and I wouldn’t hesitate to watch them all again. I would say the thing that made me like these shows were just the blunt comedies in them. If I could know something as a kid that I know now it would, life sucks enjoy the little things. Because I was in a huge rush as a kid to grow up and I let it just fly by so I could gain a little bit of freedom but a lot more responsibility.
