process analysis reflection

I thought this was a fun assignment but I honestly didnt know what I was going to write about with my partner. I think how my partner and I came up with topic is that I came into the class one day and I was saying how much I wanted to eat tamales and so we were like Hey we should write about that. I think an obstacle we faced was how we were going to sort out our paper to make it interesting because we didnt want to just have it be about a regular tamale so we made it a little fun and added a little twist. I think what was easy for my partner and I was once we figured out the ingredients we wanted in the tamales we just had to add details and make it interesting and that wasnt too hard for us because we both are pretty creative. Now as I look back at the paper I think some revisions I would make would be more details and to elaborate on some of the steps used in the piece and to describe how much a helping is for example of icecream. I would also include a visual of a tamale so the reader could see what we are talking about and It could be helpful for soe readers who may not know what a tamale is.

How to make a Chocolate chip cookie dough ice-cream Tamale

Tamales are a very delicious Mexican dish. They are usually made with cornmeal and beef or chicken inside, but we are putting sweet desert spin on the classic tamale. This is a very simple and easy dish to make. Anyone can do it. All you have to do is follow the ten easy steps below! We decided to try making a tamale but with something new and different.

Step One: Buy a Pillsbury brick of chocolate chip cookie dough

Step Two: Roll it out to a thin layer to about 1 centimeter thick

Step Three: Layer the top of the cookie dough tortilla with rainbow sprinkles. This will add that required crunch the food critics’ love. It also adds color so it’s presentation is more appealing to the kids

Step Four: Put the newly sprinkle covered tortilla in the fridge.

Step Five: Scoop 4 helpings of vanilla ice cream into a medium sized bowl.

Step Six: Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. This will bring out the vanilla flavor in the tamale which is the central focus. Add two tablespoons of sugar in order to get a sweeter taste than the normal ice cream.

Step Seven: Use a whisk and stir the ice cream until it is light and fluffy. If desired add one tablespoon of food coloring and mix until the color transformation is complete.

Step Eight: Take chocolate chip cookie dough tortilla out of fridge. Place the ice cream concoction on the tortilla in a lump at the center of the tortilla. 

Step Nine: Wrap the cookie dough tortilla with the ice cream inside until the ice cream is surrounded by the tortilla.

Step Ten: Reinforce the wrapped tortilla with a Nerds Rope. To do this, place the tamale on the top of the Nerds Rope. Next bring both ends of the rope and tie. A shoelace knot is preferred, but you can tie it however you want based on experience.

Keep in freezer until you want to serve. Let tamale sit for 3 minutes before eating for best softness.

ENJOY!!!

7 deadly sins paper review

When  I first read this passage I thought it was amusing and I could see the different connections between the different sins. As I was writing this draft I was trying to think of something to write about that would contain all of the deadly sins. The only thing I could think of was the Mexican dance group I am apart of. Now that I go back and look at my draft, I see alot of things that I could do differently with this paper. I think I could make this more of a story and from my perspective. I could say how I see things from dancing in this group amd what my point of view is on the 7 deadly sins, or I could make it out of someone elses perspective , like someone in the audience. I think I sort of just narrated everything thing. I think now I could put in more details and more of a storyline to make it more interesting for the reader.

Mexican Dancing                                                

I am apart of a Mexican Dancing group called “Arco Iris Mexicano” which translates into The Mexican Rainbow. Within my dance group you can notice all 7 of the deadly sins.

 First off one of my favorite reasons for doing Mexican dancing is that you get free food at almost every place that we dance and let me tell you I love Mexican food! We usually can get a reasonable amount of food too so I end up eating a lot of it. I think this is a perfect example of Gluttony. The little girls that dance in our group are very cute! But you shouldn’t let that fool you because sometimes they can be very greedy especially when we are dancing on stage and the older more experienced dancers such as myself try to help them, they refuse to be helped. In case you haven’t noticed I have a lot of Mexican pride and so do a lot of the Mexican people. I think there is a lot of pride in my dance group because wherever we go to dance we are always flashing our skirts to everyone and we are talking about how we love our culture and dancing for people. Lust … I guess you could say that there is bound to be some lustfulness in our group because It is made up of all girls who when twirling around skirts go flying up in the air and there are usually many young Latino boys who are watching us (or up our skirts)... yep that is all I have to say about that. There is some envy in the crowds when we dance because they are usually made up of families or boyfriends and girlfriends so usually the guys are staring at us and that makes their spouse or girlfriend envious towards us or there are girls who like a boy that is staring at us so that makes them envious towards us. Sometimes in our group all the older girls can be a bit of a sloth and gossip about one another and we can sometimes catch one of the other girls giving us dirty looks or talking about us. There isn’t really a lot of wrath in our group because even though we can talk about one another and everything we all still love each other because we are like a family.

food paper

When I started to write this paper I actually had no idea what I was going to write because instead of being a good student I was goofing off and laughing most of the time. I think I could have done alot better on this paper , that is what my partner thought too. I didnt have enough details or interesting facts so instead of someone looking at it and saying " whoa ! this looks cool! I really wanna read it " I think something that they would say would be  along the lines of " what the hell is this shit ? " All I really wrote about was the diiferent kinds of chips and why I did and did not like them and I described the golden and grainy texture that the chips had.
I plan to revise pretty much everything on this paper because I did not have a great beginning and the piece itself was really sad and boring when I went back and read it. I think when I revise it I will give a more interesting introduction or thesis and try to hook in the reader and I will give more deatils. Usually I have too many details and not enough of everything else. I will go into who invented them and what time they were invented and all of those interesting facts and maybe some descriptive details and maybe create some really cool story of someone eating chips or something like that.

Lays Potato Chips

                  I think that Potato chips are addictive because after a while do not taste that great but you can’t seem to stop eating them. A Potato chip is a thin sliced potato that is crispy and salty and fried, and it is a golden yellow. Potato chips have a greasy, crispy, and grainy feeling.  Potato chips are a party favorite and can be found at almost every party that is being held. We tried four different types of Lays Potato Chips; Baked, Classic, Natural Sea Salt, and Light.

The first chip I tried was Classic. Id has to say that Classic is my favorite chip out of all the four. I love them because they are salty, crispy, and crunchy just like any other Potato Chip, But I think I like them because of the design of the bag and the brand. The second brand I tried was Baked. I think these would be my second favorite because they aren’t as salty but yet they still have a good taste. The two things that I dislike about them are that they look and smell like cardboard. The third chip I tried were the Light. I also loved these because they were just as delicious as the Classic Potato chips but they are a healthier version because they are ½ the calories and they are fat free. The last chip I tried was my least favorite of all of them. I thought this chip was absolutely disgusting because not only were they Natural but they had Sea Salt on them and I do not know about you but I hate sea salt, I can taste the difference between regular salt and sea salt. Also I thought they were too thick. I felt like I was consuming big thick pieces of cardboard into my mouth! Altogether I would have to say that I love the Classic Potato chips the best.
