Salad Rolls – Assignment

by Maddie

   

 

1. Did you enjoy this lab? Why or why not? 

I enjoyed this lab because it helped me practice using the claw while cutting the vegetables and it also allowed me to see the process of making and rolling the salad rolls like they do in restaurants.

2. What reasonable thing would you do to alter this recipe to keep it healthy or make it healthier? What nutritional value would this add to the recipe?

If i was to add something to this recipe to keep it healthy, I would add broccoli because it has a similar taste to the cucumber and carrots so it would blend in well, as well as it has many nutritional values and is rich in antioxidants. Broccoli would add an excellent source of vitamins and minerals.

3.  What exactly does deep frying do to our food? Why does it become unhealthy? What, if any, nutrients are added that are not great for us? 

When food is placed in the hot oil, rapid surface heating takes place. This leads to a quick change in the form of the surface proteins, which in turn allows only a limited flow of water from the product being deep fried. It then becomes unhealthy due to the fats in the oil that it is being fried in. Calories, saturated fats and trans fats are added when you deep fry food.

Plenty Questions

by Maddie
  1. I would describe the speaker’s mood as mocking when he continues to describe his life around him and the repeated use of the word beautiful to describe everything.
  2. Leaves in the gutter and salt stains on shoes is more interesting than flowers as an example of beauty as it goes more in depth with the life around the poet, it also gives you a closer look to what the poet is trying to imply.
  3. The effect of the poet’s use of similes is to elaborate what he says and the description of how the raindrops look and to exaggerate the appearance of the raindrops to make it sound more dramatic. This technique adds to the overall feeling of the poem because the similes can be considered cheesy and the feeling given in this poem is that the people around him can come across as fake.
  4. In the poem, what actually happens is there’s a storm and he begins to explain the beauty within it and within his community. What I know about the speaker’s life based on this poem is that he is mimicking society around him, and how that everyone considers everything to be beautiful, giving a sense of falseness, when in reality there are things in life that aren’t always considered beautiful.
