Beef Kabob with Basmati Rice
Norooz is the local Persian restaurant in Wilmington,California. It serves both Persian and Italian food. It has become the one restaurant that I can count on to cater to both mines and my children’s food preference. My husband and I love Persian food. My son and daughter love Italian food. My favorite food on their menu is the Beef Kabob with Basmati rice. Persian food is full of flavor,especially the rice. I love the rice.
Hello Class,
My name is Shauna Ramos and I love all different type of fruits. I am currently a Senior at CSUDH and planning to graduate in May 2018. As a child my Tia Lita used to call good tasting fruit “Nature’s Candy” as she believed Mother Nature always looks out for her children. I love any type of fruit especially strawberries, blueberries and pineapple. There is something about the natural sweetness that makes the takes more enjoyable. My ultimate favorite fruit is “Quenepas” from Puerto Rico. I’ve only had them 3 times in my life and will never forget that taste. It’s known as a Spanish lime with it’s sweet yet tart taste. If it is rip it is sweet like nectar but if it not rip it will be tart like a sour apple candy.
Hello everyone,
My name is Naveed. I am a junior at CSUDH and plan to graduate in 2019. I am very passionate about being involved with my community and part of that is meeting with friends to discuss community issues and what we can do to create positive change. Displayed is a picture of the types of snacks we typically eat when we get together. I really love hummus, and the chips in the bowl are lime flavored. These snacks are great, because they do not cost a lot, but go a long way for a big group of people.
One of my favorite foods is kabab, specifically from Iran. Kabab is ground beef or chicken on a skewer usually paired with basmati rice or pita bread. My family is from Iran and brought this delicious recipe with them to our family. I prefer to eat it in a Persian restaurant though because then we do not have to put in the hard work to prepare it. It is hard work, but also a bonding experience with my family. When I visit my father cooking on the grill, he always gives me a sample with a nice piece of oily warm bread. I will post a picture of kabab in the future, for now, use your imagination to see this mouth-watering food.
This is John Henry Martinez Weitzel I am the odd mixed race long haired tall guy who always wears flip flops and as laid back as I look. I will hopefully graduate next year.
On Friday the 26th of January 2018 I tried the newly renamed Ted’s Pizza
Pizza from Ted’s Pizza
While it is not the best I have ever had, or the cheapest, it is decent enough that I do not regret eating half of the whole thing…
Pizza is my favorite. Such a simple food, bread, sauce, cheese heated to 400 degrees… yet it is such a satisfying food. Perhaps because it is rich in carbs or how the grease gets on your fingers, or perhaps how the cheese stretches when you take a bite as you try not to rip it all off in one go. You can eat it with your hands easily as the mess is minimal and it can be eaten and taken to go without fear of spilling or staining. The way that it can droop and dangle, awaiting a mouth to gobble it up is tempting to say the least. One slice, two, three, or 4 or more, it doesn’t seem to be too much or too little, if you want more you can just reach in and grab another as the box is your only reference on how much you ate. You eat a slice, as that is what they are counted as, since each is a triangle of heaven that, even when cold, is good enough to eat whenever and wherever you please.
Eggs with veggies
My name is Cindy. I am in my junior year of college. I plan and hope to graduate in 2019!
I have always said that my favorite food is Italian but in the last few years, it has been impossible for me to cook it as often as I would like to. If I eat it, is because I went to enjoy it in a restaurant. I found that I only have the time to make breakfast and by this, I mean eggs. So, they have become my favorite meal. Eggs are easy, quick to prepare, and there are so many recipes with eggs. I think, like almost anyone, I enjoy two scrambled eggs, with bacon or sausage, hash brown, and toast, but I most enjoy when I prepare them with veggies, some type of meat, and cheese with a starchy side (usually potatoes).
The above picture is how I most enjoy my eggs which is not only delish, but pretty healthy. Here I cooked the eggs with a little olive oil. I scrambled two eggs with spinach, yellow and red bell peppers, onion, tomato, and ham. I did not add any salt as I topped it with feta cheese and the cheese already has salt. I roasted the red potatoes with rosemary, black pepper and a little salt. And I finished my dish by adding avocado. Sometimes I will eat this dish with a salsa, but I never find the need to add toast or tortillas. I often make this dish because it is one of my and my kids favorite breakfast.
Good evening everyone, my name is Gisela and I am a junior at CSUDH. My goal is to graduate by 2019. My major is IDS with a minor in Labor Studies. This is my second semester and so far, it has been an exciting journey.
I have three different type of favorite foods. One of my favorite is tamales during Christmas with Atole de Nuez. During the summer, I love seafood and I love Menudo Blanco all year around for breakfast.
I took my first food selfie today it was very exciting. I had shrimp with spicy cilantro sauce for lunch. It was very delicious. My plate also included rice and bean and of course handmade tortillas. I had an amazing lunch with my fellow coworkers.
Hi everyone, my name is Rosie
I am a Junior at CSUDH and very excited to see what the new year brings. This seems to be a fun class, I have never blogged before and never thought I ever would. So this is a great experience so far.
This selfie is a lunch date with my girlfriends at one of our favorite restaurants named Los Compadres. It has become one of my favorite dishes, enchiladas de queso. Although I pride my self on my cooking, I have yet to make a great enchilada. Enchiladas are normally semi-fried tortilla dipped in red chili sauce with added Monterrey jack cheese inside. Served with beans, rice, and my favorite sour cream!!
Tonkotsu Miso Ramen
Hi class,
My name is Elvira Carreto, or Elvi for short, and I’m a senior in the Labor Studies program. My first food selfie is of a half-eaten bowl of ramen noodles I had for lunch yesterday at Gomen in Stanton, CA. Ramen has become one of my favorite dishes. I grew up on daily home cooked meals, with occasional Sunday dinners eating out after mass. Selection was very limited, as my parents were very traditional Mexicans and only stuck to what they knew. I didn’t eat McDonalds or Chinese food till after I was out of my parents’ house and for the first few years after I moved out I explored the different diverse restaurants we were fortunate enough to have in our neighborhood. One of my favorite dishes is Ramen. I love the hot, spicy and savory broth, especially on cold days. The combination of the broth and the noodles is so tasty. The meat is super tender and so flavorful, and the veggies add texture to the noodles. All the ingredients combined in a bowl is pure heaven. I’m looking forward to all the food we are going to learn about.
see y’all in class.
