Entry #3 Pasta Breath

    On my birthday, my family and I gathered at Olive Garden for an Italian feast. The air was full of scents like, garlic, basil, and tomato sauce, the remnants of a huge feast that left us all feeling like balloons about to pop. Everyone was laughing sharing stories and enjoying the food. As our dinner started to end and everyone was starting to leave their was one more thing left that in my opinion was the best part of eating at Olive Garden.

    There were these chocolate mints that were half mint and half chocolate that melted in your mouth. As I reached for that mint, I noticed its cool silver wrapper tightly wrapped around the mint. Unwrapping it and placing the mint on my tongue, the coolness swept over my taste my taste buds, and the chocolate instantly started to melt on my tongue. A gentle breeze cutting through the pungent flavors of italian cuisine. It was like a brief, minty cool oasis that left my mouth feeling as if it was on the top of mount everest. 

    As the mint melted, I found myself still smiling, surrounded by family full of happiness and laughter. The mints freshness not only cleansed my palate but also added a touch of brightness to an already heartwarming occasion. Eating that mint after out Olive Garden feast was like a bridge between delicious flavors of the meal and the warmth of family. The mint also helped to cleanse my mouth so that it didn't smell like pasta and garlic after.

    The way you described the mint was great! However, I recall him saying you can’t actually use the word mint haha. Other then that, I love how you enclosed a scenario where the king was important and how it made you feel after eating it.

Entry #7 Fresh

   Fresh      "Fresh" is an eye opening video that makes us think deeply about where our food comes from. It shows the harsh facts of corporate farming next to the more environmentally friendly ways of small-scale farming. The movie is meant to speak to a lot of people, not just those who care about health or the world. Its tone successfully mixes scary facts about food production with inspiring stories of change, making people think about how the foods they eat affect others.      The movie shows corporate animal farming in a very negative light, while smaller farms do things in a much more positive way. Scenes that show how monocultures hurt the environment and how medicines are used too much are especially eye-opening. However, not everything is bad; the film also shows people making good changes in sustainable farming, which gives us hope and a sense of possibility.      Overall, "Fresh" is an urge to do something. It shows how ...

Entry #2: Cars n Coffee

       One of my favorite things in the world is cars. On a trip to California with some friends we decided to go to a Cars and Coffee in San Clemente. It was a super cool experience filled with some laughs and supercars. This event was a pretty popular event for car enthusiasts all over California. There were so many cars. If I think about it there was probably 20 rows or more of all types of different cars that spanned different decades and styles.     As we strolled through the rows of cars I could see how big this event was. It attracted all types of different car enthusiasts. There was vintage classics, muscle cars, exotic supercars and a lot of well kept jdm cars. I talked to a lot of owners who were pretty cool and shared a lot of cool stories. My favorite car I saw though was definitely this VeilSide RX-7. I talked to the owner and he shared some pretty cool information. I knew the VeilSide body kit was expensive but he said that it costed him ...
