Plastic Bags

Plastic bags are bad for the environment in many ways. One way is because if you are on the beach and you leave the plastic bag in the sand it will probably fly away into the ocean. The reason that this is bad is because once it gets into the ocean any living thing can mistake it for something and they might die by eating it or getting tangled in it. Another reason is that if you leave a plastic bag in the soil, it can harm the environment since it takes a long time to disintegrate. As you can see even though we reuse them they can still harm the environment.
Ways that you can prevent this from happening is by using the reusable nylon bags. This can help the environment because if you by mistake drop it on land and you forget it’s there then it won’t be that bad because it disintegrates much faster than a normal plastic bag. These bags are also much easier to use because since they are bigger then plastic bags then you can put many things inside of them. I prefer them because they don’t damage the environment and it is easy to use.
There are many different ways in which you can recycle when dealing with food. One way is that when you are going to the super market instead of using all those plastic bags to carry the food to your car you can bring a big shopping bag from your house s that everything fits in one bag. Another way is that if you take lunch to school, instead of putting it into a plastic bag you can put it into a container. As you can see there are many different ways that you can recycle even if it has to do with food.

We are killing the environment by using so many plastic bags. Plastic bags are used in vast amounts at grocery stores. Plastic bags are very durable and do not desintigrate quickly. There have been various cases where plastic bags or plastic products have caused great danger or death to animals. Basically, they are extremely horendously, terrible for the environment.

There are different methods we cnaq incorporate into our every dayh life without using plastic bags. You can buy a nylon bag and use it in place of plastic bags. Nylon bags are reusable. They alos desintigrate much faster than plastic bags. Also, these bags can be much more stylish thant the other earth killing bags. Lastly, they are much easier to change.



My opinion is that we need to hurry up and start helping our enviornment. If we don't help the environment were going to loose it. When it's gone, were are going to wish we had done somsehting before. So please, the next time you go grocery shopping take a nylon bag, instead of killing the environment without plastic bags. I <3 Nylon bags.

plastic bags vs reusable bags

Environmental Awareness

When you go grocery shopping, does the cashier give you about 10 bags everytime you go? Usually when you go grocery shopping, the baggers put about 3 things in each bag and if they are heavy they add another one. This is very bad for the environment, especially when you throw away the bags when you get home. Instead of using all that plastic, all you have to do is buy some nylon bags that are very big. This way, you can fit all that food in only about 3 bags without them leaking or breaking and you are making a difference to the world.
Go to the grocery store in your neighborhood and ask to see if they are selling these nylon bags. They usually only cost about a dollar each and they are very useful. Remember, you dont only need to use this for groceries. When you go shopping, instead of carrying about about 7 shopping bags with the handels that that hurt your arm when you carry them, you can take these bags and it wont hurt your arm. The handels are usually thick and confertable to carry.
If they dont have these bags at your grocery store you can always make sure they pack your groceries with paper bags. Papers degrate alot faster and fits more things in each bag. Even they dont have reusable bags at your grocery store, you can still make a difference to the world and your neighbor hood! Saving the world one bag at a time!

I would like to adapt an environmental awareness idea to our cooking blog. There are many ways you can create environmental awareness. Even in cooking you can do this. We need to take care of our earth. We cannot continue polluting. We can start this by recycling plastic bags or just not using them.

My idea to create an environmental awareness is that instead of using plastic bags (ziplocks) for cut ingredients or processed ingredients you can use bowls or containers. You can also use containers for sandwiches or snacks. I normally do this always. Instead of using ziplock bags for my sandwiches, my mom bought containers that come for sandwiches. This way we are not throwing away excess of plastic bags.

We can also use containers instead of plastic bags for other things other than for sandwiches. They can be used for snacks and salads. The last example is that you can use containers for sauces, pre- cut ingredients and raw spices. If we all start using these ideas we will help keep the earth clean. Not all only are we helping the earth but we are helping ourselves. Hopefully we will alluse this idea and reduce, reuse and recycle to help clean our earth! (:

Thanksgiving dinner

For thanksgiving, my whole family comes over to my family. We are a lot of people, so we have to make large servings. We usually make a lot things, like: turkey, yams with marshmallows, yams with pecans, stuffing, corn bread, gravy, salad, pumpkin pie, apple pie, and other foods. We also have some arts-and crafts activities. When we were little, we would trace our hands on construction paper. Then we would use feathers, glitter, and googly eyes too decorate them. This is an easy way to entertain the young ones. And best of all you can write your names on them and use them as name spots for the table.
A couple of years ago, we made two different types of yams. We made yams with marshmallows and yams with pecans and a lot of brown sugar. We had a small complication with the yams with marshmallows, when we were taking them out of the oven. We left them in too long and too close to the top of the oven. When we checked on them, the marshmallows were on fire. In the end, we saved the yams and they tasted delicious.
On thanksgiving you always need various side dishes to fill up everyone’s tummies. We usually make gravy, corn bread, stuffing, mashed potatoes, salad and other things. All of these complement the thanksgiving turkey beautifully. I love having thanksgiving dinner. It brings my whole family together and all the food is very YUMMY!!! Hope you make something yummy this thanksgiving!!! 

In this picture, there is pumpkin pie, Airheads, and chocolate

For Thanksgiving Dinner my mom and I will confecionate various recipes!Will invite our familyy memebers and friends. The main dish that will be served is Turkey, mashed potatos and rice with beans. This is one of our favorite seasons because it is a time of shring and caring.

I will be in charge of the dessert department. I will be making my famous fudge and the suflee de batata. They are both delicious! The fudge is a really easy recipe and it is fast. It requires very little ingredients.

The suflee de batata it a little more complicated, but it is amazing. When you get to actually taste it you wont even think about how you made it! You should always go sveral days or a day before you cook a recipe so you can make a list with anticipation and make sure you have all the ingredients. It also good get the ingredients ahead so you can start preparing or cooking things the day before and then it is not as much work! I knwo that my family will love this years menu for Thanksgiving (:

MIssing Halloween

Ths halloween I didnt do the normal thing everyone usually does. If you dont know it is that you go with your friends to a neigborhood and trick or treat which is getting candy or you just talk and walk with your friends. Last year I did that in my neigborhood with steph, caro and andrea. We had a lot of fun and we got a lot of candy. We slept at my house and woke up super late.

This year i was not able to do that. the reason for this is because I had my cousins wedding at Palm beach. At first i was kind of upset because i was missing halloween but then I got over it because I was going to see my cousins that i havent seen for a long time. In the wedding their was pasta,sushi, chiken, and meat. The only thing that I like was the chiken and the rest was really bad. In the pasta they put a different sauce which made the pasta taste weird. after we ate we went to the party.

Even though the food wasnt so good I still had a very good time. My baby cousing who is 2 years old can do many things now that I didnt know. My other cousins that are five and two are very fun to be with. Even though i missed halloween I dont regret it because i met my uncles new wife and saw all of my cousins. This shows that being with your family isnt always a bad thing.

Halloween Candy

This Halloween i had alot of candy. I ate airheads. The different types they have are green which is watermelon, red which is cherry and blue which is delicious. My favorite is the blue one because it makes your tounge look cool. I got a lot of those becuase they are very good!
I also had lots of chocolate. My favorite chocolate is butterfinger. They taste good because they are made of peanut butter, I think. I also had baby ruth, Snickers and Crunch. I got lots of chocolate when i went trick-or-treating.
I also ate a lot of pumpkin pie. I buy they pie at Costco. It is very good. I make whipped cream and put it on top. I eat lots of pie for breakfast.

Witch house!!!

Happy Halloween!!! Hope you get some fun ideas from this video, and have a chance to make some sweets this halloween!
