Descriptive Writing

As I dashed out of my apartment without any sort of subtlety and complete disregard for my neighbors whom were probably counting sheep. I decided I should relax, slow my role, and take a deep breath for I needed it because of the extreme amount of anticipation for what I was about to devour. I headed down the street full of gum chewed up and spit out forever becoming part of the cement, a smile on my face and my head held sky high. I was a block away from the restaurant I didn’t even know how to pronounce but I could already recognize the scent of my chicken wings being dipped in scolding dark yellow oil that’s probably been boiling for hours. I wasn’t in the mood for general tso’s this afternoon because every time it comes with a couple pieces of chicken that are as hot as an iceberg. By the time my wings were ready to be inhaled, I still had to wait for my fried rice to finish being fried, as I watched the small Asian lady toss and turn my rice and vegetables with such precision and ferocity I beg to salivate and get startled at the same time. I had never seen someone make my food with so much emotion. A tear dropped from my eye but before it hit the floor, I heard a high pitched DING! My order is ready and now I must mutilate these wings with my bear hands for I am a savage hear me roar!

Hey all you blog reading peoples! You can't say that you're not a blog reader if you're reading this because it's a blog! This blog is dedicated to my Food Ethics class. My name is Hassan Malik and I am a freshman at LaGuardia Community College. I've just recently moved into the city from North Carolina where I've lived for most of my life. Now I reside in Spanish Harlem with my father and his family, where there's always something good cooking.

I'm Pakistani and Puerto Rican but I live in a Pakistani household so most if not all of the food we cook is Pakistani, luckily I'm surrounded by my fellow Puerto Ricans as soon as I step outside if I ever need my fix (spanish food). Most of our meals consist of rice, lentils, chicken, lamb, goat, and lots of vegetables. For the most part it is always spicy. My favorite dish to eat at home is chicken briyani, it consist of rice with chicken but has a distinct taste that I haven't been able to find anywhere else.

As far as food shopping stands my father goes to Jackson Heights once or twice a week to get our groceries, he's been buying it there ever since I can remember. Not only is most of the food cheaper over there but in order to follow his religion (Islam) he and the rest of the household must eat halal meats. I however was raised by my Puerto Rican mother so pretty much everything is fair game for me, but I do respect the household by not bringing outside meats home. But when im not in the house you can usually find me eating pizza, I personally think pizza is the greatest thing ever created by people, sometimes I think that aliens might have come down and taught humans how to make something so great! 

Since this is a blog I think I'm supposed to say whatever I'm feeling, and since the blog is about food and ethics and I feel that I must bring up something that came to my mind during environmental ethics this morning. Why have those little brats in the Trix cereal commercial never shared their cereal with the rabbit. They are selfish and it makes no sense...

end.
