Favourite Food

Level 3 - post 6 (week 10) >> THEMED POST 2

My Favourite Food...  to cook on my.

Good day Everybody!, I hope you are enjoying the new season!

-        min. 160 words,
-        comments on 3 of your classmates and on your teacher's post.
-        Answer: what is it?
-        when do you cook it?
-        how long have you made it?
-        what's the recipe and how do you cook it?

I have lived on my own for some good years so far and in most cases, catering, has been a daily issue to think over...specially when mom's not around! I like to cook in general but to get to cook my favourite recipe, I had to go a long way.

I have always been related to the kitchen; My mum, as a child, would always say every person should know how to cook at least the minimum so as to survive in a good way. Considering also that I grew up in a time when big supermarket chains did not exist, a time when imported and/or processed food did not arrive and a time when cazuelas, humitas, porotos and several other, quite elaborate recipes, were the day-to-day food. Therefore....if you didn't cook, you couldn't eat.

Having grown around people cooking everywhere, it became natural to learn cooking methods and because of it I learnt the ways of chopping onion, how to cook it for different purposes, I learnt about secrets to make a good stew and I also learnt about timing...well - as of timing, I learnt about it only after a time I bought meat and cooked it on the grill but it wasn't meant for it, but it was for cooking stews!!!

Anyway, nowadays, I live on my own, I have a demanding job (tests to make, correct, handouts, bla bla bla) so with this lack of time and the need of eating healthy food, I like cooking my mom's Sunday recipe:

Tuna Salad:

I open a Tuna can, I chop and wash lettuce (any kind, though I prefer iceberg lettuce), I chop onion and let it sit with salt for about 5-10 minutes, then it becomes softer. I wash it and get rid of the strength of its flavour and the salt. I mix everything in a big pot...To dress it, I add lemon juice, canola oil (or any oil), some good mayonnaise and salt. Then, I eat it and go to work again. Well.... however, I still like taking time for cooking!

Childhood Series.

Dear all: today is a free topic, we will start with Childhood Series. You have to structure a text telling us about the programmes you used to watch, as a child.  - Make a comment on 3 of their classmates posts - Word Count for this post : 190 words   Childhood Series Believe it or not, when I was a child there weren't many series on TV, besides, I used to live in the 8th region, in a lost town in the middle of nowhere and we did not receive much technology nor state of the art cinema, theatre, cultural venues, etc. It was the late 80's and national TV was the only option available, and consequently, the  very limited programming they offered. The series that you could see were quite classical, the typical Disney style, with Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and my favourite: Goofy. I cannot tell you that I really remember their adventures on screen, because I was less than 5 years old, but I do remember having felt very proud after receiving positive app...
