Taiyaki What is Taiyaki? The first Japanese sweet I had ever tried was during winter in Setagaya, a suburb in south-western Tokyo. A local confectioner was making these little fish-shaped pieces of waffle, grilling them to shape on a specially designed mold. They weren’t expensive at all, maybe around 100 yen or roughly one dollar apiece, so looking for a quick treat to warm my belly I joined the queue of people in line to order and waited my turn. I asked for one, paid my money and walked off staring at it. It was warm to the touch with a rich smell of waffle. Then I bit into it. Wow. What a treat. I didn’t expect to find anything inside but the waffle was hiding a small dollop of red bean paste that was just sensational. I later learned that this fish-shaped treat filled with sweet bean paste was …show more content…
The story goes that a similar sweet known as imagawayaki was being sold in Kansai, the western part of Japan, and that vendors visiting Tokyo (then known as Edo) began selling it in near one of the bridges in the Kanda district. Imagawayaki was made with a thicker batter and tended to be round in shape whereas what became taiyaki was prepared with a thinner batter leading to a slightly crispier cake and was shaped like a fish. Both sweets were part of a trend of using cast metal molds to create shape in foods. By the turn of the century, as the Meiji period was coming to an end, taiyaki was already catching and there were several mentions of them in the newspapers of the time. Not much is recalled about why the sea bream was chosen for the shape of the mold but the most readily available theory is connected with luxury. At the time, sea bream was somewhat expensive and so, the theory goes, molds were shaped as sea breams so that the eater could at least imagine that they were doing well and eating luxuriously. In Japan, the sea bream is known as the ‘king of fish’ so this origin story doesn’t sound too
If your family is starving but the laws told you that you cannot go out and get food, what do you do? A similar question was running circles in Tommy Pikok Sr. and John Nusunginya’s head when the law told him he could not provide food for his family. In 1961 the Duck-In began when the Migratory Bird Treaty was signed. This treaty outlawed hunting from March to September when the birds were only available for harvest in Alaska. As a result, the hungry Iñupiaq people in Barrow decided to pay no mind to the law and protested.

Duke Kahanamoku was an Olympic surfer from Hawaii, he was born August 24, 1890 in the Kalia District of Honolulu. Kahanamoku introduced surfing to the world after it almost died out with other local Hawaiian traditions in the nineteenth century. European people came to Hawaii around 1778 and adored the traditions of the native people and quickly joined in riding the waves on flat boards. Christian missionaries later had the local Hawaiians believe that surfing was uncivilized and tried to ban the sport. Disease it the island with great power, taking the population rom 300,000 to 40,000 in 1893.

This new American State will be called Monkaushka derived from the Native American term: trembling earth or earthquake. The people that live in this state are incredibly friendly people who have a tendency to be outspoken with their beliefs and warm in their hearts. They are homely folk who tend not to leave their close knit areas for too long. There is an folk tale that crawls around the towns that no one has ever left this state; only those who weren’t born here can come and go. You would think that is ridiculous, but the landscape that this state resides on is unlike any other state and can verify the legend for many people.
In fact, if the painting Cooking in a Pot and its engraving are considered, it is clear that De Bry focused on not disturbing the European sensibilities by showing objects in the Native Indian life, such that they were closer to the European life, albeit inferior. While White shows a pot cooking in the fire, De Bry shows a man and a woman tending to the pot, to add drama perhaps. However, the most interesting difference is in the fact that corncobs are seen simmering in a broth with probably some meat and fruits to illustrate the underdeveloped culinary sense in the Indians. In other words, they simply mixed every edible thing into a broth for their meals. It is doubtful that if in reality, Native Indians even used corncobs as the Europeans did.

Young Elizabeth “Betty” Parris and Abigail Williams were cousins, but also best friends. The girls enjoyed playing together and listening to the stories of their slave, Tituba. Because of their connections with the church the girls had most likely grown up with Puritan beliefs and were strongly influenced by that culture. The girls knew all ten of the commandments and were familiar with what they were and weren't allowed to do by the ways of Lord. With this strong Christian influence, 9-year-old Betty and 12-year-old Abigail were the last people expected to get caught up in a witchcraft scandal.
The reason that I want to attend Machik Weekend is because when I grow older, I aspire to work for the Tibetans inside Tibet, and to give back to the community that has helped me developed my own identity as a Tibetan. Although I am far away from my country, distance shouldn’t be a barrier because there is so much that can be done. Machik’s cause immediately struck an inner chord in my heart and reminded me of the detailed stories that my late Grandpa and Grandma had told me from their experiences in Tibet. I wish to be apart of this amazing organization that helps so many people in my homeland.

The reason that she moved here was because she is Baha'i and the government in Iran says that it’s crime to be Bahai. The government used to jail her family just because of what they believed in which is really sad.
