When you soon arrive in America if you find your self in Ohio there are a lot of spots to try some good food. I've always been a foodie, it's our major source of living. Doesn't mean we can't enjoy the finer tastes in life. Being new to the United States most immigrates don't know what to do first.

A Pandemic Story
In November Ella decided to dress-down for her visit to the food bank. Last time, when she pulled up in her electric blue Volvo XC90 on a good hair day, in full make-up, she got more than a few side-eyes. Her hope was that they all thought she was picking up food as charity for an elderly neighbor. But that wasn’t the case. She halfway hoped that she wouldn’t qualify when they had her fill out the form that first visit. She even called her husband to confirm the numbers, so that a portion of the all-consuming shame she felt could be lifted from her shoulders. She was shocked at the tears that ran down her cheeks when she realized that not only did they qualify to receive food, they qualified at one of the lowest levels, which meant that her family was getting more food than the family next to her with the broken down 1999 Toyota Corolla. The relief of qualifying so that she could bring home food for her family, was quickly overshadowed with even more shame and disappointment. Thankfully, the volunteers at the food bank didn’t bat an eye; didn’t miss a step; didn’t give one single indication that she shouldn’t be there. They were gracious, kind and generous; even offering jokes and getting her to laugh a little. When the back of the Volvo was full to the brim with boxes of donated fruits, vegetables, meats, breads and goodies, the volunteers reminded her that she could come back no sooner than 30 days. They marked the date on her receipt. Then she backed out of the parking lot and started on her way home; a home she hoped she could keep.

Foodie Porn and Rants of the Past. How I made it this far?
I have always been in love with food ever since I started learning how to at the age of five. I was five when I started learning about knife safety. In a way as a kid I thought it would me and my grandfather's way of bonding together.

Unique Burger King Menu Items From Around The World
Burger King is known for pushing the boundaries of fast food. Whether it's introducing meat-forward items, or the newest Impossible Whopper, it's safe to say that the King isn't scared of some experimentation. They also aren't afraid to test the limits with items internationally because just like every other fast food chain, they don't just exist in the United States.

Unique McDonald's Menu Items From Around The World
McDonald's is easily the most recognizable and popular fast food worldwide. With over 38,000 locations, it's pretty safe to say that almost everyone on the planet has at least heard of or eaten at a McDonald's. But did you know that each country has their own unique menu items?

Accessibility Means Access To Food
I was originally writing this as a Facebook rant. Unfortunately for the world at large, I'm off this week and have way too much time on my hands. I spent the morning in conversation with a visually-impaired book editor. We were discussing what conlangs (constructed languages, i.e. fantasy or made up languages like Klingon and Sindarin) mean for accessibility when a person needs a screen reader. Turns out, it generally isn't an issue if the screen reader can read it and the website or story is formatted correctly (lots of food for thought there, no pun intended). That got me thinking about how the world views people with invisible disabilities, like severe food allergies or autoimmune disorders that are triggered by food.

Togetherness
This is not the first time I think about the people I am with, rather than working in the steaming hot kitchen. As easy as it would be to cook with someone, more often this activity is reserved for one. The chef, the owner, the host, the mother. A single unit always rules the hearth of the house and maybe there are no other ways but for the one to take on the responsibility. I had seen many people owning to the expectations of the good cooks, chefs, owners, and mothers but hardly ever at the same time. Last week I was invited not to be a stranger, take charge, help, to play a part.

The regular meals
What is the biggest difference between a Chinese restaurant and a Western restaurant? Probably the service. Many people would think that the service level of any Western restaurant is much higher than that of any restaurant on the street. At least their waiters do not lift the cloth at the corner of the table to wipe off the oil stains on their hands after serving the food. Some say it's the environment, too. Although the number of elegantly decorated Chinese restaurants is increasing, but on average, or Western restaurants are better. Eat Western food place furnishings again, in the end the light is dark enough, a black cover three ugly, under the dim candelabra not only the opposite will be beautiful a few points, even the corner of the peeling wallpaper or peeling paint is also hidden without trace. Which is like a traditional restaurant, a bright room, all the unsightly things have nothing to hide.
