Handing Down History Thru Recipes
Recipes are a type of storytelling handed down thru the generations.

Homemade
Cooking Heritage
Word-of-mouth is still customary in certain cultures, as this
is the primary way recipes are passed down from one generation to the next.
However, for the most part, the oral tradition of sharing beloved family recipes
is becoming a lost art.
Perhaps
a loved one passed away before you learned what the ingredients and techniques
were. Maybe the recipe was always there and taken for granted.
A loved one
experimented long ago, perhaps failed at the recipe but, tried again, finally
succeeded in creating a family recipe, and passed it down by word of mouth. However,
after a generation or two, the recipe's origin becomes a mystery and a family
legacy fades away.
"Eating is
a need, enjoying is an art."
Handing Down History Thru Recipes
Grandparents,
parents and kids cooking together in the kitchen sharing secret family recipes
connect together as a family avoiding the generation gap that happens when
there is little to no communication across generations.
It's
true that including the children in your cooking routine requires extra time
and more patience than we sometimes can muster, however, especially when the
children are younger it is well worth the effort.
With a bit of luck, handing down recipes will
become a storytelling adventure introducing long passed away loved ones to a
new generation through a family recipe.

coasts of Caribbean, United States, and South America, are in danger of being blasted
by hurricanes wind and rain during hurricane season from June through November. But,
why?
The scientific reason why is because of Africa’s
Sahara desert dust storms and the transition of thunderstorms off the west coast
of Africa. The waters in the North Atlantic Ocean are typically at their
warmest while the Sahara is at its hottest from July through October, so the
chances of a hurricane are highest during these months.
Hurricanes
are gigantic weather systems using convection, the movement of hot and cold
air, to create dangerous storms. They are rotating heat engines powered by the
warmth of tropical waters having three main parts, the eye, the eyewall, and
rainbands.
Hurricanes cannot form just anywhere in the world due to the need
for hot and humid air. They normally form close to the equator and move west or
northwest. Hurricane Alley is a stretch of warm water through the Atlantic

Survival of the Fattest Meaning
The copper statue Survival of the Fattest by Jens Galschiøt and Lars Calmar was created in 2002. The fat woman is holding a pair of scales as a symbol of justice however; she is
closing her eyes so the justice. Galschiot symbolized the woman as being blind, refusing to see the obvious
injustice.
For the rich people of the world the main issue in life is that of overeating while people in the third world are dying every day from
