My Forbidden Fruit
Junior year of high school, I decided that I wanted to do ASB. I went into the idea with high hopes. I felt like I knew I was going to get in, I was enthusiastic, I felt qualified, and I was going to be a senior, the last year I could do it in high school. I was handed the application from a friend who was an officer and threw it in my accordion folder to sit for around a month. Even though I let it ferment in the copious amounts of papers handed to me by my teachers, I still managed to be the first to turn it in.

Understanding Artisan
Artisan Baking When you think of a microbrewery you think of the knowledge that the brewmaster has about the unique beers that he or she brews — the care that goes into choosing the types of grains, hops, sugars, and yeasts that are used for each beer. A pilsner, ale, stout, or lager each have different ingredients and each has a unique process that the brewmaster has developed over years of personal experience. The long fermentation that allows the yeast to pull the flavors out of the grain. The combination of grains and the different types of hops. This knowledge makes each brewmaster a specialist of the craft.

A Bite into a Delicious Hamburger
You're hungry. You're stomach is empty. You're salivating. The only thing you have your mind set on at the moment is how great it is to sink your teeth into your favorite burger. There is a burger out there, that you get ever so often because of how tasty it is. It is your own signature burger. Of coarse, you know it's wrong. You know it's unhealthy. But you do it anyway because its time for you to be naughty. Your mind is telling you "No!" but your taste buds are telling you, "YES! YES!! YES!!!"

Truth: Your Chicken Isn't Juicy
Have you actually tried your chicken? Have you ever actually had chicken that felt like rubber (excessive chewing, could even use a sauce...)? Don't lie to yourself. That chicken was DRY AF at your aunt's last week...but you ate it out of desperation/gratefulness/being high and not knowing any better/lack of trying OPC (other people's chicken). The alternative is to toss it, and be honest with yourself/others (and others who may suffer from eating your/their chicken but do not wish to tell you the truth in lieu of your/their "feelings"). Then, after testing a few methods from the top google searches...you may end up having the best chicken of your god damn life.

Dried Fish on My Dinner Plate
Dried fish, daing, tuyo, bulad—not one Filipino (even the well-off ones) would not recognise this food. Although considered as a poor man’s food, most Filipinos from all walks of life have had this on their tables.

Food Survival: Pasta
The first series of articles will be called "Food Survival," specifically for helping those who may not know how to cook. The aim of these will be to give out the basics and slowly expand on them. As a teenager, I know many that when they move out, they'll be kind of screwed when it comes to cooking their own food; this was the inspiration for this series. So let's dive in to one of my favorite meals: pasta.

Eat Play Stay Spain - A Story of Tapas Part 2 - Jamón Serrano or Jamón Iberico?
All Tapas bars and restaurants in Spain and across the globe will have Jamón Serrano or Jamón Iberico on the menu but how many of us know the difference between the two of them? What we do know is that there is sometimes nothing nicer than a plate of this culinary symbol of Spanish culture with some Manchego cheese, a bowl of olives and a good glass of Rioja. There is nothing more tempting when walking past a deli, butchers or market in Spain and seeing the displays of Jamón hanging above the counters in vast quantities, showing not just how popular these dry cured sweet yet salty meats are in restaurants but also in the homes of the Spanish people. So what is the difference?

Hello Fresh
I have tried almost every kind of delivery service set to ship fresh ingredients to your house. Now I do not consider myself an experienced chef, nor would anyone who has eaten my food previously. I have always been someone who mixed ingredients and recipes to create my own concoctions. I also have never been a fan of planning a list of needed ingredients and going to fight the crowds at a grocery store to purchase them, only to forget a key ingredient in the recipe. But thankfully, with companies like Hello Fresh, the stress is taken away from you.
