Blog 7

2 days ago i ate parts of my favorite meal and all i was thinking about was my blog. Thats scary, but while i was eating i told my self that i am going to write this in my blog. Here i am telling you guyz about eating parts of my favorite meal. The part i ate was the entrana. I went to My Uncle's Steak House. OOO OOo man was it good. It was Bangin(real good). The Steak was cooked to perfection. The funny thing is that as soon as i walk in the restaurant the waitress already gives in my order because she knows that i order the same thing everytime i go into that restaurant. Thats why i always leave her a big tip, she knows how to give good service. This week i learned that ??? hmm i dont really think i learned much this week about the food topic but i did learn alot of information about how global warming is a very dangerous thing thats happenen to us. I learned this from going to The Museum Of Natural History.

I found my information by going to people i know and asking them. I also got my information from on the web. I used Wikipepedia for some information. Wikipedia.com. Where Does Bread come from? This is for my grilled cheese sandwich. This information can be found at (http://www.awhc.org/)
A farmer plants wheat in the fall to be harvested the next summer. To prepare the
ground, the farmer must plow, drill (which plants the seeds) and then fertilize the
seeds. The seeds begin to grow and during the fall the wheat turns golden. Its now harvest time.A combine is a machine that cuts the wheat.The heads of wheat are pulled up into the machine where the kernels are separatedfrom the chaff. The stems and head parts of the plant are thrown out the back andthe grain is stored in the machine. At the mill, the endosperm must be separated from the rest of the kernel. This isthe flour. The wheat must be cleaned and then tempered, which means water is added toraise the kernel moisture. The wheat is ground and sifted many times to get theflour. The flour is sent in one direction, while the other material from the wheat is sent in another direction. At this point, the flour goes in many different directions. The flour may end up onthe grocery shelf for you to buy, it may go to bakeries where bread and other items are made, or any other places where flour is needed for food items. The
food may be baked and made differently, but it all comes from wheat flour!
Americans consume 22 billion pounds of bread a year -- that's 77.6 pounds for
each one of us. Next is cheese! American cheese obviously comes from America. It can come from many differnt cheese processing companies. This week i learend how bread was processed and made. Pretty cool.

Museum of Natural History!

The trip to the museum of natural history was great! i haven't been there since i was like in third grade. It was really interesting and the animals and humans in there looked so real. Pretty crazy..\
Here are some of the things that i learned at the Museum Of Natural History. Venus and earth are about the saem size and probably started out with similar atmospheres, But now the aitmospheres are very differnt... The amouunt of carbon dioxide in the atmoaphere is related to global temperature- as the earth warms. Co2 increases . Vice versa. Measuring co2 in ice cores provides a record of atmospjeric co2 variation over thousands of years- from one glacial period t another. By tracking the
natural variablity of co2. Scientists havre discovered that the recent rise in atmosphere co2 has ben casued by human activities. Carbon dioxide and global warming... Glacial ice records the the climate of past ages.. The composition of the ice itself and of the air bubbles and dust trapped in it record changes in temperature. Humidity. Atmospheric . Circulation. Volcanic activity, extents of sea ice, and even atmosheric pollution by human activity. Greenland how ice burgs are melting because of global warming. Greenland melts and sea level rise and soon or later it wil gulf land... Pollution from human activity. The burning of coals releases nitrogen and sulfur compund sinto the atmosphere. They show up as higher concentrations of nitrate and sulfate compunds in ice. Average increases in these pollutants became evident in ice core layers beggining in the late 19th century.
Global warming-the amount od carbon dioxide in ther atmosphere has increases due to the extensive burning of fossil fuels. Which started with the industrial revoltuion around 1850. Since then global temperature has aslso increases. Because carbon dioxide is a greeb gas.
Scientists believe it is partyle reponsible for this warming. Discovering fossil detective. There were many media forms and presentations in the Museum Of Natural History. They displayed things through mini films, exhibits, pictures and there were workers that were explaining the exhibits. One media form was a mini video presentation i saw about global warming. There were many effects and cinematic elements that really helped explain how green land ice lands were melting because of global warming. The video showed how greenland ice was melting over the years and how risky this can be for us. The presentation was great and i learned so much from a 3 min presentation. The pictures in the exhibit related to the film. There cinematic sensibility. Overall the Museum Of Natural History was a great trip and there is so much history and information that is very important in there. I learned so much at the Museum.

Where do these ingredients come from? Ingrediants can come from all over the world. In order to make certain recipes you need certn spices. Hot sauce ingrediants really come from what hot sauce your using. There are many differnts kinds of hot sauce. most hot sauce is made from chilli pepper, salt and vinegar. They mostly come from the united states. It can also come from all over like china, mexico and other countries. it really depends on what type of hot sauce ur using to make the buffalo wings. In order to make entrana you need olive oil. Olive oil comes from olive trees. It mostly comes from north america. The actual skirt steak comes from a cow and can be coming from any where around the world. Another ingrediant used to make entrana to perfection is scallions. scallions are grown in Jamaica, and Trinadad & Tabago. So far i have learned where certain ingredients come from. It is interesting to know where you favorite meals ingredients really come from. Some times it can aqlso disgust and surprise you.

blog 4 Who Makes This stuff?

Who makes this stuff???? The restaurant where you eat the food is where its made. The chefs in the back in the kitchen are the ones who make my meal. Some times i make part of my meal at home. To tell you the truth i think this blog makes no sense really. Doesnt really have a meaning and is practically useless. Well, still got to finish the assignment (what can i do). My product doesnt really come out in packaging. They come out in plates, but this prolly means how does it get to the restuarant on home and in what packaging. This is a useless question that no ones cares about. I dont think i would ever read a blog that was about this topic. lol, by the way i love Proffesor Smiths class. I dont want to get a lower grade because of my opinion. The restaurants and markets get there entrana from a cow. It is beef. "It is said that cowboys on roundup would harvest cattle to feed many trailhands. The trail bosses had first priority on the skirts. In those days, cattle were thin and had very little fat so the cooks would make them palatable by tenderizing them, marinating in lime juice for several hours and grilling them over mesquite coals."(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skirt_steak).

hmm

damn... i didnt think there was soo much to write on your favorite meal. i think this kinda gettyn me sick of it because i have to research my meal. I dont really care hows its made or who makes it. I just want to eat it. Also everytime i write a blog i get HUNGRY!!!
