Blog Post #3 - due Monday, December 5
Dear students,
For this week's topic I am choosing one that everybody is interested in: food! Here are some questions: 1. Do you prefer to eat out or eat in? Do you prefer to cook or order take-out?
2. Do you like to cook? 3. If so, what kinds of foods do you cook? Healthful foods or junk food?
4. Are there special holiday foods that you cook or eat? 5. Do you have a recipe that you would like to share with the class? If so, please do!
As usual, remember to react to your classmates' postings.
For me, I would like to cook by myself at home. Because it is relatively clean, convenient and more casual. I can do anything I want to eat. Also because I prefer to cook, so I would like to choose eat at home.
ReplyDeleteThen, I often cook meat, soup, porridge and noodles. Because my stomach is not very good, so these foods more suitable for me. According to this, I think the most of dishes I do are healthy. Sometimes I will make dumplings for some special holidays. But, unfortunately, I did not eat some special food during Thanksgiving, because my friends and I could not eat a turkey by only two person, so we chose to eat hot pot.
Finally, on the recipe, I am very sorry that I just can cook, and know nothing about how to write a recipe.
Wow, I can tell you are a good Chief.
DeleteHi Libaozhu, please cook for us next time. I think you are a good cook.
ReplyDelete1. I prefer eat at home. My wife is an excellent cook. But in the mean time, we don't have enough time to cook. So we go out for a meal or sometimes just fast food like pizza or hamburger. We like shack-shake burger and eatery-pizza.
ReplyDelete2. I really like to cook. If I have enough time, I want to cook every day. I learned Thai cooking at cooking class in Singapore.
I prefer slow food. It takes long time to prepare, but it is worth to do that. And I love home-cooked food more than any other stuff.
I love Vietnam food, Maleisian and Indonesian food and Indian food.
Italian food is okey, but French is a little bit oily for me. As I am a Korean, my favorite food is Korean food. I go to Korea-town on
32nd street once in a while. There are many Korean restaurants there. I recommend WONJO to my classmates. It costs 10 ~15 dollars for lunch. You definitely try some food during winter break.
4. We eat white-rice cake soup on New-Year Day.
And if you go Korea-town in the morning on Jan 1st, you can enjoy
free. Just little tip is good.
5. I have a very easy recipe. It is fried tuna-kimchi. You need a tuna can, olive oil and a pack of kimchi. You can buy a kimchi pack
8 dollars at Korean market. Pit the kimchi on pan and add oil. Stir for 10 minutes. And then put tuna and stir 5 minutes more.
If you want sweat taste, add little sugar. That's it.
I will try to make your recipe and also one day I will go to the restaurant you recommend Gil. Thank you for sharing that with us.
DeleteYeah! I agree that Sun can cook very well!!
Delete1- Answer: I would like eat at home because my wife is very good with Indian-Pakistani food. Every day she cooks something new for me and i like spicy food. She takes care of taste. All Restaurant in Jersey City are too far from my apartment, so it is difficult to reach there.
ReplyDelete2- I like cooking, when I have plenty of time but only Pakistani food. I know very little about cooking because it need great attention and care.
3- Normally i cook chicken, mutton, soup, rice with lamb and vegetable. all these food dishes are healthy and giving a lot of energy and power to body.
4- likely, i was invited on thanksgiving day in South part of Jersey City, where chicken soup, Turkey and some soft drinks were given by my friends. i enjoyed a lot these two delicious food .
5- Beryani: This is very famous Pakistani and Indian recipe. But I am sorry, i am not good cook to brief how to cook Beryani.
You need to invite us to taste the traditional food of Pakistan and Indian.
DeleteI prefer to eat at my house; because to me it is more comfortable, pleasant and nice. However, for my schedule and the custom I have to eat in restaurants or sometimes order to take away. In addition I live with an American family and they are very accustomed to have big dinners out in restaurants.
ReplyDeleteI like to cook, although I do not do very well, I like to do Colombian meals or simple things like pasta, which is my favorite. I like to eat a lot and I don’t have problems with any food but the problem is that I don’t know how to cook. So always when I try to do it I end up calling my mom to ask her what the recipe was like. And if it does not do as expected eat pizza or Shake Shack.
For Thanksgiving dinner I had the opportunity to try many typical dishes and they were delicious, like turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce. I hope one day I can learn how to make them.
Like I said, I'm not a very good cook. So I do not have any recipe I can share with you guys. However, I hope that someday you can have the opportunity to try Colombian food, because it is delicious.
Hi, everyone! Actually I prefer eat out, because I’m so lazy. If someday you see me cooking, it means that I don’t have enough money. I prefer order take-out. I can cook, but I don't like cook. When I don’t have enough money, I choose to cook instant noodle. As you guys know, it very cheap and easy. I think instant noodle is a kind of junk food. When Spring Festival come, our Chinese eat dumpling. I think they are very delicious. However, I can’t cook dumping, and to me it’s so hard. I’m sorry to say that I don’t have professional recipe to share. However, if you ask me how to cook instant noodle, I think I can tell you. Cause I’m a specialist in cook instant noodle.

DeleteI prefer eat at home. before i come to USA, i don’t cook many times at home. However, i have to exercise my cooking technology after i come here. i love cook at home because i can do whatever i want and look for a better suitable way for my taste. My roommate taught me how to cook a good beefsteak. i also learned how to cook porks and chickens. for Chinese, i think the best choice for eating in winter is hot pot. my friend and i prepared many vegetables ,beefs and mutton for hot pot. It is really delicious.
ReplyDeleteDear everyone,
ReplyDelete1. Do you prefer to eat out or eat in? Do you prefer to cook or order take-out?
I prefer to eat in rather than eat out in China owing to the delicious nutriment made by my parents. On the contrary, when I am in other countries, I prefer to eat out, because I am lazy to cook and I want to try diverse food from different countries. In general, I often cook by myself instead of take-out, especially, dessert which is interesting to cook due to shaping the form of sweet.
2. Do you like to cook?
In my opinion, sometimes, cooking is a kind of recreation to spend leisure time, but I am not so keen on cooking.
3. If so, what kinds of foods do you cook? Healthful foods or junk food?
I usually make Chinese noodles, cookies and cakes. I also prefer to make nourishing food, such as soups, or special drinking which can help women slow down senescence.
4. Are there special holiday foods that you cook or eat?
There are many special holiday foods in China, such as glue pudding eaten in Lantern Festival, zongzi and realgar wine (for Dragon Boat Festival), mooncake (in Mid-Autumn Festival), dumplings--- the entrée of Spring Festival and so on. In addition in some northern places of China they eat rice porridge with nuts and dried fruit on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Best wishes
