How's everyone doing??? :) 

I'm doing,,,, okay I guess.. But it could be better 


I can't believe the fact that it is almost end of October. 
Time flies..

I used to loovvveee October when I was a kid.  
you know why??

Because of course, the day that every child loves and longs for,
HALLOWEEN!!!


I used to go trick or treating around my neighborhood with couple of my friends all dressed up until I was like 12 or so..  I remember I was a Cinderella one year and Harry Potter (or I can say a girl version of Harry Potter) on the other year.. 
and got a bag full of candy that lasted for like two months or so.. 
Also we used to have a Halloween party at my Elementary school, where we ate cupcakes and exchanged candies.. 

I miss Halloween :'(



sooooo to the main subject of this post..

My friend,Reika and I were given a blog called "Adventures in Cooking" to make an analysis. 


The blog is written by one lady name Eva. She is a photographer that is currently residing at Oregon living with her husband, Jermey and a cat, Germey. 


She has her own garden where she grows numerous vegetables. She also owns a cow and a calf, where she uses their milk to make a homemade cheese. 


☆Quality:
In my perspective, I thought this blog's quality is very high. Both in terms of recipe and photography. The recipes that she introduces in this blog are not a typical foods that are commonly eaten. For instance one of the recipes that she introduced was "Maple & Hazelnut Encrusted Pork Sirloin Tip Roast". By just looking at the name it can be implied that it is very original and unique. In addition, the pictures that are posted on this blog is just astonishing! Which attracts the reader to the blog and also makes the reader's mouth watered :D


☆Usefulness:
In terms of "usefulness" I think this blog is useful for anyone that loves cooking, especially cuisine that are very original and unique. She posts the recipe to all of the cuisine that she mentions on her blog, that are easy to understand and follow. She also posts a printable version of the recipe. 
Not only this blog is useful for the people who love to cook, but also to people who are interested in photography. That is because she frequently mentions how and which camera she used to take the picture of the food that she posted on her blog.  


☆Visual Attractiveness:
Like how I mentioned earlier, the pictures that she posts on her blog are astonishing. It attracts the reader's eye on the screen and instantly waters their mouth. Not only it has a power to attract the reader's eye but I thought it makes the reader want to look more of her photos. 


☆Accessibility of the language:
I personally thought the language that she uses on her blog are easy to follow. She even posts a picture of the steps of the recipe which makes it easier for the reader to follow. 


☆How interesting is it for you personally?
By considering about her photos and recipes that she introduces on her blog, i personally thought this blog is very interesting. One aspect that I thought was interesting about this blog was the cuisine that she introduces on her blog. All of the cuisine that she introduces are her original recipe and are very unique. 

About my book

Hello,Hola,Nihao, KONICHIWAAAAAA!!!
Mayumi here!!!

Well for me, I LOVE AUTUMN.. Especially when it comes to limited edition foods :) 
Pumpkin, Maroon, 焼き芋  yummm yummm yummmmmm :D
So I'm currently cherishing my favorite season by eating my favorite flavored foods :D 


So... to the main point about this post..
The book that I have chosen is



"Fast Food Nation:The Dark Side of the All-American Meal"

This book was written by Eric Schlosser in year of 2001.

As how it can be implied from the title, this book examines about "Fast Food" that has become an integral aspect in the current society. 

McDonalds, Burger King, Wendys, Mos Burger you name it, whether it's a rural or an urban city, you will find ATLEAST one fast food restaurant. 

Have you ever had a temptation where you wanted a food like french fries or a burger from a fast food restaurant soo badly?. That is probably due to the fact that these restaurant uses an additive which makes their food addictive. By considering this fact, in my perspective the current society consider fast food as one type of comfort food. Where we have an idea that no matter what place we are at on the Earth, the fast food restaurant serve an appetizing(or eatable)  food. 

One of the reasons why I have chosen this book is because when I was in High School I once watched a movie called "Super Size Me". 

This movie is about an experiment that was done to a guy name, Morgan Spurlock. The aim for the experiment was to examine the effects that fast food has on our body. Morgan Spulorck was only allowed to consume food that was served in McDonalds for thirty days. Therefore for thirty days straight, all of his three meals for a day was from McDonalds. I won't mention with a lot of detail, but of course the experiment proved the fact that  fast food has an negative impact on our body. Since then I tried to be cautious about what I consume and tried to avoid fast foods as much as possible 

So back to the book......

I haven't got a chance to read the book far enough to write something interesting or worth noting. So far the book introduced a guy name Carl N. Karcher, who is considered as one of the fast food pioneers. Who sold hot dogs in a cart and later opened a drive in BBQ restaurant in a period after the WW2. 

By reading this book I am hoping to widen my knowledge in fast food...
