Aliyah's Trip to Olive Garden

One fine evening, I decided to join my best friend for dinner at Olive Garden. For dinner I ate the most wonderful Spaghetti and Shrimp. The Spaghetti was so beautiful that the sauce glistened in the light and the shrimps were laid perfectly in a triangular shape. While eating, I started to think of all the ingredients that could make this entrée so delicious.  The lengths of the noodles were perfectly buttered that they just slid right into my mouth, and complemented the green onions.   I am such a nerd I thought of the Columbian Exchange and where the ingredients originated. Since the noodle are made of wheat, and olive oil are made from olives they originally came from the Old World to the New.  Then I had a hard time trying to figure out where tomatoes and peppers came from, but I remembered that they came from the opposite place of onion, which came from the old world. The buttery butter came from a cow so that means it originated in the Old world. The shrimp originating in the ocean and water is everywhere so it came from the universe! I had a wonderful experience at Olive Garden and I shall return for more!!!!

Ingredients:

Spaghetti Noodles

 Tomatoes

 Green onions

Butter

Shrimp
Onions

Virgin olive oil

Pepper

Parsley                                             

Liz's Columbian Exchange

Yummy Leftover Turkey Pie

 

Yes, Thanksgiving is finally over!! Most people, except of course the moms, are sad about this, but not me. First of all it means I get to go BLACK Friday shopping. It also means that we get to use the leftover turkey to make turkey pie. My friend while I'm typing is going "eww, that's disgusting!" But it really isn't. If you have ever had chicken pot pie, then turkey pie isn't that different. You just substitute the chicken for the turkey. Anyway since I am a nerd I just had a very interesting recollection of some of foods traded in the Columbian Exchange that are also included in my leftover turkey pie recipe like turkey, peppers, and onions. Both turkey and pepper were traded from the New world to the Old world, and onions were traded from the Old world to the New world which explains why I don't like them, because I'm original and new, duh! Anyway, my other ingredients are the following:

 

Ingredients:

1.       Butter

2.      Onion

3.      Chopped mushrooms

4.      Minced garlic

5.      Sage

6.      Thyme

7.      Turkey

8.     Black pepper

 

GO HOME AND MAKE THIS LEFTOVER TURKEY PIE!!! J

Charlie eats babies

As I was swallowing Charlie Deyo's despicably constructed nutrients, I noticed that there was in fact a human finger embedded within the dish. I then noticed that the dish was actually a child. This didn't surprise me considering that Charlie made it. Somehow I managed to gather the reminisce of my appetite to attempt to consume what appeared to be the chocolate milk that Charlie squeezed out of a raw utter that he was carrying around.

                Of course it was terrible. But as least it was simple, chocolate sauce and milk. Milk comes from many mammals, but the milk commonly consumed is that of cows, which originate from Europe. Chocolate sauce is made from melted chocolate. Chocolate is derived from the cacao bean, which is indigenous to Mexico. Both of these key ingredients (Cacao and Cow Milk) were frequently traded on the Columbian Exchange.

                I advise anyone who values their internal organs not to consume anything Charlie offers you. It will most likely be dog, cat, or baby.
