Day 2 of Food & Culture
Great, a DVD was popped into the computer, Im already dreading this class today. Its raining, Im sleepy and there is a huge puddle right on the door of the classroom so my shoes got wet. I dont like it when people resort on DVDs to teach. Maybe im wrong…
The DVD is about Marcus Sammuelson, he believes food is symbolic and complex. “Food reaffirms not only our humanity but the joy to...

I was at Barnes & Noble today looking for a copy of “Eat, pray, love” when i bumped into a small fifty something page book. On the cover it read “The curious case of Benjamin Button” a short story.

I consider myself a well rounded person in general, I mean im not perfect or anything like that, just open minded and wiling to learn.
