Comparison Essay
Would Have, Could Have, Should Have
My quest was about my love for making good wholesome meals for people, and how it makes me feel good about myself. During my quest I made new and interesting meals that I had never made before I started this quest. The ultimate goal was to learn how to create more interesting and extravagant meals then what I normally make. When I first started this quest, I was very excited because it was a little different and quirky. After completing the quest there is a quest that I wish I had done instead.
What if I had done a quest about gambling? I thought about this quest when watching an episode of “Thirty Days.” A lot of the quests that are done of that television show are about negative things. My grandmother is addict. She is addicted to gambling and has recently started to seek help with her addiction. My quest could have been to gamble everyday for thirty days. It would have been far more interesting then my current quest.
Although I am happy with some of the outcomes of my quest, it would have been interesting to do a negative quest. The more I think about the two different quest, the more I ponder how much I would have learned from a gambling quest. After gambling for that many days in a row, how money do you think that I would have lost? It would have been really interesting to write about how it feels to gamble, and what drives people to keep spending the money.
If I had done such a negative quest, would it have been hard for me to stop after the quest was to be complete? I believe that it might have been hard for me to stop spending money on scratch tickets after the thirty days was up. That is why my current quest was the better choice. It may be boring at some points to read about food, but I am far better off this way.

Homemad Salsa
A good garden and fresh veggies is the most important part of making a good homemade salsa. My fiance and I experimented with this last year. We used tomatoes and peppers from my moms garden and added spices.
It was simple to make a good salsa. We simple added tomatoes, onions, green peppers, and jalapenos to a food processor. After that was mixed we added a little cilantro and garlic. It tasted fresh and delicious.
Salsa is an excellent appetizer or snack because it is full of veggies. The only thing that you have to be careful of is the calories that lie within the chips that you are using. Try to use chips that are whole grains.

If I could stay at home all day and cook then I would!
My dream in life would to be a stay at home mother although that is not going to happen. It would be a joyful experience because I would be able to spend all of my days with my children molding them everyday and making them wonderful meals.
What is in a meal? It is what you make of it. If I was a stay at home mother, I could make delightful meals for my children and teach them what I am doing and why I am doing certain things in the kitchen. It would be easy for me to let them get involved in the meals and teach them the importance of a good meal.
If only I could be a stay at home mom!!!

Lasagna
I started by bowling a box of lasagna noodles while browning a pound of hamburger meat. To the meat I add a cup of chopped onions and a cup of chopped green peppers. I then add a teaspoon of garlic to the meat. After the meat is cooked I add it to a can of my preferred spaghetti sauce. I mix it well and let it get warm on top of the stove.
When the noodles are ready, I lay a layer of them and then put about three tablespoons of ricotta cheese and smooth it out. Then I spread a layer of the sauce. After that is spread, I put a layer of mozzarella cheese. I make these same layers over and over until I get to the top. When I get to the top of the pan I use a finely shredded mozz. and parm cheese mixture. This mixture of cheese makes a great topper to the lasagna.
It should be cooked for about thirty minutes at 350. This meal would be great if served with garlic bread and a salad. Enjoy a wonderful recipe that I learned from my mother as a child.

Dellllllicious Lasagna
My next meal is an amazing lasagna. I am very excited to make this meal because I love Italian foods. This meal is simple and sweet. It fills you up and leaves you wanting more. The most important part of a lasagna is the crusty cheese on top. That cheese is in fact the kiss of an angel on top of a delicious cheese filled meal.
The recipe that I used is one that mother would always make growing up. I took it and added my own little twist to make it more of my style.
Cheese is my favorite food to add to any meal. This is how I spice my moms lasagna up. I simply add a lot more cheese and different types of cheese. My mom uses cottage cheese and I will be using ricotta cheese. I will also be using two types of mozz cheese.

Giving, Giving, and Giving
My mom is like a giving tree. She is constantly giving to others and not thinking about what she wants for herself. Her cooking is a prime example of her unwillingness to be selfish. It is always what dad wants or what the kids want for dinner.
My goal for myself is to be learn to be selfish. My mom has taught me to cater to men because that is what Southern women do. Although I love making foods that my fiance requests, sometimes I just want to make the foods I crave.
My fiance is not the pickiest person in the world which makes it easy for me to complete my goal. He often likes the meals that I create better than the meals that he wanted me to make.
