Hello, My Name is Brenda and I am finally a senior this semester (yea me!). FINALLY! I am taking this class because I really like to eat and wanted to learn about the many different cultures of food especially in Los Angles. I prefer to prepare my own meals, but when I can’t, one of my go to staple foods is Panda Express. I have never experienced authentic Asian cuisine, but that is on my short list since taking this class.  I love any type of comfort food really because while I am eating either what I have prepared myself or eating take out, it just seems to make me happy. For me, food is like a good therapy session without not having to make an appointment.
