Special lecture from Nadia

On December 1st, we had a special lecture by Nadia Mckechnie about veganism. Nadia is a professional educational writer and voice-actor living and working in Tokyo, Japan. I felt her lecture was very fluent and easy to understand. Anyway, she is a vegan who teaches people how good to become vegan for saving planet. At first, I had a image that be coming a vegan is a hard job. However, she teaches lots of alternative vegan products and stores. Also, she teaches how vegan reduces the resources. Although I think becoming a vegan is hard for me but I thought some day I can can be vegan as in short term to think about becoming eco for earth.

Podcast relating to my food book

In class I was assigned to find a podcast related to the topic of my food book. As I mentioned on previous blog, I am reading the book called, Trejo’s Tacos. This book is a cookbook which deals with Spanish cuisine and the author Trejo’s eventful biography. I also found the podcast called, Food Aesthetics Barcelona. This podcast is about a Finnish-Mexican couple searching for the best quality and best value meals in Barcelona. Also it suggest people how good or bad the food was, their food experiences, and the spot in Barcelona. I thought the book and podcast is corresponding because it suggest delicious Spanish foods. Thus sharing their experiences that they had. However, it is different that podcast is more local; shares delicious restaurant spots in Barcelona. Adding to that, it is same Spanish food but the region is different. Although both book and podcast is very interesting and humorous, I love it very much.

New thing that I have learned from my cookbook

In previous book I have introduced my cookbook that I have using in the class which is called the trejo's tacos. Today I want to update what I have noticed by reading the book. I have found that each tacos are very unique and original. For example in this book there are fish tacos, meat tacos, and vegetable tacos. Also the ingredients was affordable so I thought it was easy to get in local markets. Also, I have found that there were some pages that Trejo appears. This book often uses fancy taco figures although I could see Trejo seriously cooking in his own restaurant. I do like the fancy figures more however I could see his potential against his food.

Analysis of poems

In my class I was signed to analyze 2 poems which are “Ode to Pork” and “I too, sing America”. 1. Ode to Pork This poem was made by the man called Kevin Young. He is a director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and culture. I wouldn’t be here without you. Without you I’d be umpteen pounds lighter & a lot less alive. You stuck round my ribs even when I treated you like a dog dirty, I dare not eat. I know you’re the blues because loving you may kill me–but still you rock me down slow as hamhocks on the stove. Anyway you come fried, cubed, burnt to within one inch of your life I love. Babe, I revere your every Nickname—bacon, chitlin, crackling, sin. Some call you murder, shame’s stepsister– then dress you up & declare you white & healthy, but you always come back, sauced, to me. Adam himself gave up a rib to see yours piled pink beside him. Your heaven is the only one worth wanting– You keep me all night cursing your...
