Rough Draft Food

Different types of foods represent different relationships in my life. When I am with my family I like to eat home cooked meals, because this reminds me of my childhood, and is a great feeling when it happens. When I am with my girlfriend I like to go out to restaurants, because it is more of a romantic feel and my girlfriend likes it. When I am with my friends we mainly hit up drive thrus, because it is cheaper and easier to access. Different styles of Food affect my emotions as well as my my representation.

When I’m with my family, I love when they make home cooked meals. My mother makes the greatest beef stroganoff in the world. The homemade cream sauce is mixed with the cooked beef, onions, mushrooms, and a few more ingredients. When it all comes together it is like heaven in your mouth, the ingredients compliment each other. The flavor is perfect, and my sisters and I are always excited when she makes it, which is not very often because it takes awhile to cook. My dad on the other hand makes amazing reuben sandwiches with sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing. He fries up the meat and then he adds some seasoning to it. When the meat is completely cooked, he melts swiss cheese over it and puts it on fried bread then tops it off with thousand island drssing and sauerkraut. When all of these ingredients come together the taste is amazing as a burst of flavor enters your mouth. These two styles of cooking vary greatly, but nothing beats a homecooked meal.

When I hang out with my girlfriend we mainly go to Chili’s or I Hop depending on the time of day. We go to Chili’s because it offers something that we both like. Jamee, my girlfriend always gets the Chicken Enchilada soup, while I always get the Monterey and Chicken. When we go to I Hop she would get the Crepe plate and I would get the Bacon and Egg combo.
My friend and I are always busy, so we usually don’t have time to go to a restaurant and sit down to eat nor do we have time to go home and cook a meal. We love being able to just drive through McDonald’s or Wendy’s and get a lot of food for only a few dollars. It may not be the healthiest, but it satisfies our hunger for the time being.

When it comes to food there is a lot of meaning behind it. Everyone eats food and relates to it in different ways. For me it is all about realting food to different people in my life. Whenever I eat homecooked meals it reminds me of my family and all the dinners that we all sat together. When I am sitting down at restaurants it reminds me of my girlfriend and the romantic moments we have shared. Most of the time when I eat fast food I am with my friends because we are mainly busy and we dont have time to sit down at a restaurant or go home and cook food. When I think of food I think of the relationships I have with my friends and family.
