Energizing your Brain with Food

Food Haiku
I love green chile
My favorite is the stew
Now Im craving it 

​

Where I am From 
I am from the land of enchantment 
from red and green to hot and mild
a trip that will make your tastebudds crazy and wild 

I am from the dirt on a softball field
that stick in my teeth like the kernels of a popcorn seed

I'm from barbells and dumbells 
that savor my bodily needs
like cookie dough ice cream 

I'm from La Dodger and Dallas Cowboy favorite teams 
to eating heatlhy chicken, rice broccoli and green beans
I'm from meal prepping and dieting to drinking nothing but alkaline

I am from working and chasing the great bill of greens 
like the leaves of a beautiful summers eve
I'm from working toward the career of red and blue
 so I can kick it back on the off days like boiling stew

I'm from the family get togethers and weekend barbeques 
like the jalopeno poopers on a chicabob skew 
I'm from the lifes of enchantment from art, history, and food 
encompass this story in all its glory

Introduction
In the mix of doing this assignment I have noticed that this finl project is a sense of direction for helping us determine how we are going to articulate what we know and what we have learned with what we hope to learn and critque. The design of food culture and the way that it represents a persons background helps me utilize the key points in this project allowing the audience to easily follow my reading assignments. Durinig the development of this project you will be able to understand a specified book for what it is and how the concept of its factors tie into ethnography as a whole and why it pertains to food culture in the United States. My book is covering the mental stabilities of a mind and how all your senses conflict with certain elements you are introduced to on a daily basis. 

Background
Given that my book is called remapping of the brain, that is exactly what it is going to cover it is going to allow the general basis of your mind and the way it is structured to find meaning for why certain senses have to do with your everday enviornmental or personal factors. Annie Hopper shares her story about how her brain undergoes a chemically indused tragedy to in which enables her to loose a lot of her senses forcing her to exclude herself from everything she has been used to. Initially, the story is able to provide us with the usefulness and the obstacles she had to overcome to diagnois her own symptoms because the doctors couldn't come up with what was happening, so this allows me to see that many of her ethnographies are put on hold or conflicted due to the lack of help from a professional standbase. 

Conclusion 
With this being such a famiiar topic to me I am able to tie in a lot of what I already know as well as what I am personally aware of so thay I can better understand the topic as it is given to me. The more that I become familiar with all the techniques and all the research the more I will be able to give a clear understanding of this book that way things can be accurately put in order. This project has allowed me to use my creativity and my expertise to be familiar with learning more about food culture and how it is important to any type of background that we endeavor. Therefore, I will be able to understand the meaning as I know it in a technical and professional setting which allows me to guide more of my research toward my career and my interpersonal understanding of events.

    All these different types of assignments that I was able to participate in showed me all the right characteristics and necessary actions needed to obtaining to specific tasks. The more I was able to explore way beyond what I am used to, and getting out of my comfort zone the more I was able to see the basic need for accessible resources and why they are always important to look after and care for. The ability to have a concise schedule and a general understanding for what everything is and why everything has their own structural meanings helped me understand the assignmentst more because of the details that I was allowed to obtain. I liked having the ability to take care of everything at my own pace and at my own discretion because it allowed me to see how everything worked with my skills and how everything was obtained to my knowledge and why everything was so easy to understand during the process of it all. 

    I was able to achieve the learning outcomes for this course as exemplified through percise and careful examination, as well as through specific and intellectual understanding. The more I had more hands on abilities with this course the more I was able to then understand all the readings and movies that we were told to watch because I was able to tie in my personal experiences with my technical ones through the way of this course. I really liked the formation of everything and the disbursement of gardens with the different reads and formations of bringing all of those different types of rhetoric and enviornmental resources together to form one basic form of understanding. The tehcnicality and the creative writing structure helped me better navigate my understandings of english as a whole and why even the smallest bit of information is important in understanding the many forms of educational significance.
