Blog for Sept 28th

Now that we have finished watching Food, Inc, what do you think? Write about what you saw and learned that had the greatest impact on you and why. What did you think when you saw this in the movie? What impact did it have on you and why? You can also include whether this film has made you think more about what you eat and/or whether it has changed how you eat.

Blog Post DUE Tuesday, September 21st.

For your next blog post, write about a process you follow every day. Include clear steps and remember that with process writing there is always a final result. You might want to review your textbook chap. 8 for some pointers about process writing before you start. The more details, the more interesting. Try to avoid writing a list or recipe (those don't make for very interesting reading). And DON'T use "you" as the subject (you can use I if you want),

Food Blogs Over Time

I remember the first time I wrote about this topic on my blog about a year ago (see 11/04/09 post). I thought maybe things had changed since then and that my eating habits might have gotten worse. But thinking about it, I realize that one thing hasn't changed -- time interferes with eating properly or even just with eating.

Second week of classes, things are crazy busy. My son is back to his school-year schedule, which makes my life even more complicated. Getting meals together is a bit more than this single working mom can do. I make sure my son gets his 3 squares a day, but I'm not so good about taking care of mine.

That said, here's my eating Tuesday
6:00 coffee (and lot's of it). Classes straight through 8-12:20.
son's power bar that I dug out of the bottom of my bag around 12:30
Dr. Pepper -- yum and caffeine!
hummus, crackers, cheese, and carrots, celery when I get home around 3:00 as I sit at the computer answering emails.
6:00 dinner for my son. Very brave, I make chicken for him, broccoli, and quinoa for both of us.
pomegranate popsicles for dessert.
And a blue moon after grading papers 10:30. My reward for a long day.
OK so not bad (better than the last time I blogged about this), except that I didn't really get any "real" food until around 2:30 (hey and where's the fruit?)
