Class Picknicing

On the 2nd week of the English course in my university, we had a nice picnic day during the class but I forgot to mention it in this blog, so here we go. For someone who has visited this blog by surfing internet (if there is any), the man in full-black outfit on the picture above is me.

Each of us brought at least 1 food, some bought and others cooked themselves. Since our professor is vegan, I cooked a vegan chili con carne for the picnic. It turned out to be a great combination with the tortilla chips that one of my classmates brought. All of the other foods were very tasty too.

After a nice meal session, we had an activity session. The professor brought juggling equipments with him, and many of us gave it a try. I tried it too, but it was way harder than it looked and I was only able to manage 2 jugglers by the end of the class. I'd love to try it again if there's an opportunity.

The picnic was very fun, and I wish we could have another session of those, maybe outside of the class so that we have more time to relax.

Hungry Planet - Australia

On 12/7 I did a presentation about an Australian family and their food consumption featured on the book called Hungry Planet in the english class, and I thought it would be a great idea to share it in this blog, so here we go. The pictures above show the typical Australian foods . You may have heard about Vegemite , the fermented spread, but there are much more than just that! Timtam , the chocolate bar is a classic Australian snack, and just like in Great Britain they eat meat-pies, fries, burgers, and grilled chicken . The unique one is fairy bread , a simple sugar toast commonly eaten by children at birthday parties in Australia. Also, major part of Australian cuisine is based on seafoods due to its location. This is the Molly family and their weekly consumed foods . In the middle stands Emily , the mother of the family. The man next to her is the father John , and the girl is their daughter Nathalie . Finally, the boy staring at the huge vegetable is Sean , smallest child of t...

THE WORLD FOOD PROBLEM - David Grigg

For my book report assignment, I chose "The World Food Problem (2nd Edition)" by David Grigg. I have only read few pages of the book so far, but I'm assuming that the content of this book is going to be a description and records of histories related to food problems - or malnourishment more specifically - in various developing countries. To be honest I'm not really a big fan of books, but hunger is an issue that I especially sympathize to, so I will put as much effort as possible to understand this issue. However, the book is apparently outdated. So if there's any recommendations of the books similar to this topic, let me know in the comment section below! I'll put a link to the amazon, just in case anyone wants to read it too. https://www.amazon.com/World-Food-Problem-David-Grigg/dp/0631176330

Food Blog Analysis

On the 5th week of my English course at Aoyama Gakuin University, each of our classmates did an analysis on the assigned award-winning food blogs, and I'd like to share the outcome of my own. The food blog I analyzed is called pinchofyum . If you're interested in visiting this award-winning food blog, here is the link . Purpose Pinchofyum originally started in 2010 as a casual hobby of the creator, and it has now grown into a full-blown business . Which means, the purpose of this blog is primarily for making money , although she may be still running it for the sake of self-satisfaction since the creator is also sharing bits and pieces of her life on the blog. About creator/voice Lindsay is the name of the creator as well as the voice. The voice is casual . She uses a rather conversational language , and capital letters for the words she wants to emphasize. Media used/Userfriendliness You can easily search up for a specific food recipe by typing in the name of a dish, or ...
