Revised Chicken Team

I have looked online to try to buy chickens but you can not buy them online I do not believe you can buy chickens. I think you need to have some connections to buy them I am really not too sure.

It seems to be the best chicken we can get for the class is the “Leghorn” it is a so called “egg machine” it lays eggs in the winter and it is very tolerant to confinement. It doesn’t fly and it they are not loud.

FASTFOOD: Bravo
I had lunch at bravo pizzeria. I was freezing outside so everyone crowded indoors. Bravos I very small and the place you have to order at it right near the door so the door keeps opening letting in cold air all this cacaos just to order some pizza. Once we got to order our pizza they said they did not have any plain slices they have only what you can see. So I picked my second favorite plain Sicilian, I no big surprise. Waited till it was warm paid go my cup and walked to the soda machine after arguing for where we should sit we walked up the stairs to the second floor. Once we were up there we ate a talked about our day and how fucking cold is it outside. Everyone said that they hated the food. I personally didn’t mind it I was so hungry. I went threw my slices like they where water. Believe you me they didn’t taste good but I wasn’t hungry after that meal that is for sure.

Questions From Class

Which foods seem healthiest to you? If you had infinity time and infinity skill and infinity money what would be your three meals for three days?

DAY 1

Breakfast
I would eat a large stack of French toast with some bacon but not that much, made very crunchy. A huge orange juice and some water.

Lunch
I would have a sandwich turkey; thinnest cut slices so thin that you can see through the piece of turkey. Then I would add salami and pepperoni cut the same way. Then I would add the best American chesses money could buy. I would cut up the biggest best juiciest tomatoes and great lettuce. Add some spicy mustard oil and vinegar salt and pepper all on top of a foot long Italian hero. I would have a good homemade bag of barbecue chips. With a Sunkist in a frozen ice glass.

Dinner
for dinner i would have a homemade burger from my mother. i think she makes the best burgers ever. i would have that and a side of fries from "pome fris". "pome Fris" is a Belgian fries place on st. marks have the best fries in the city i love them. and then a tall glass of, again Sunkist.


In general what should people eat?
I believe that people should be able to eat what ever they want to eat. but if you want to be healthy its an obvious choice not to eat fast food and food that has be proven not to be healthy.

The team i would want to take part in is the chicken team. i find that the chicken team is going to be the center of all the teams and i think my leadership and my character will fit perfectly with the group. i have read the chicken coop book and i think they have a lot of good ideas but i think we can use those ideas and then add or subtract somethings to make it fit with what we are trying to aim to get.

Farmers Market Trip

Raspberry, blue berry, and strawberry jams.

Jams are good to eat because they are natural and jams from farmers markets are made by a small farm and not mass produced so its better quality than say a “Smuckers” brand of jam.

At the farmers market me and the fellas were looking around. We found this nice little jam table filled with jams from grape to raspberry, they even had some honey. The name of the little company is Berkshire Berries. The owners David and Mary graves are from Becket, Massachusetts. They get there honey from hives all around the city on roof top gardens.

You grow the berries on a farm or a huge plantation. Then you have to pick them and clean them. After cleaning the berries put them in a bucket and start to mash them up after mashing up the berries you add ¼ of water for every to cups of berries. Then add in your secret concoctions or anything else to spice up your jam.

P.S. shawn, joey, mark and I went to the rail jam this night and it was pretty cool. it was the big scaffolding that was being bulit.

Pasta one of my many Culinary Arts in the kitchen. I make pasta all of the time but I have never made pasta thinking in my head I am going to have to write everything I am thinking and doing after. So this was a first. I got my pot, filled with water. I got my pasta, spaghetti. I placed the pot on the stove and boiled the water. I had bet in class and I lost to Andy. The bet was adding salt to water when boiling will make the water boil slower but in fact it does not. My father who has cooked pasta with and with out salt claims that salt makes the water boil faster, the same concept can be applied to ice cube trays, when making ice cube trays you use hot water to add to the tray to freeze in the freezer. Back to the pasta. Everything when off with out a hitch. I made pasta garlic bread and some sauce. I don’t really like sauce but I sometimes add it when I have garlic bread.

Pizza

When I took my first bite of the pizza is was very hot and it burned my tongue and I had to move the bite of pizza around my mouth to cool it down. While doing this the taste of the dough, cheese and the sauce covered my entire mouth. I blew on the pizza to cool it down so the next bite would not be as painful and more satisfying. This theory and tactic did not succeed I burned the roof of my mouth this time around. After being very frustrated I grabbed my ice tea and took a few sips. The ice tea was extremely cold and hurt my front teeth, but I was so hungry and thirsty that none of this mattered I just wanted to eat and be done with it. After gulping some ice tea I tried another bite of pizza and it was much cooler and it was easier to eat and swallow after my first slice I was feeling full and ready to start on my second. After completing my pizza and finishing my ice teas I felt very good and warm and content. I just wanted to lie down and watch some television but I couldn’t because I had to write this and I was knocked down from my heaven back to reality.

The brown sugar pop tart.

It is like a normal pop tart with the dough on the outside and the frosting on the top but it is brown sugar and pop tarts usually have jam or some gooey paste in the middle but this pop tart is different its like stiffer and it breaks away unlike the strawberry pop tart on the s’mores. I like this pop tart better then the others because it has weird blandness to it. It’s not like your eating it to get the great pop tart taste almost just eating the pop tart to fill you up. The pop tart doesn’t have that five start taste but it does have that five star feeling of fullness after your done eating it. When I chow down on the brown sugar pop tart I usually quench my thirst with a bottle of Gatorade. Any flavor will do (doesn’t it seem all flavors of Gatorade taste the same?). I sit back and watch some television. Now here comes the worst part about the pop tart it is so god dam messy I mean com on the crumbs are every where. If I’m wearing a black t shirt while eating the pop tart its no longer a black t shirt it is now a white t shirt because of all the crumbs.
