So, here's the blog! I'm going to give you quite a bit of time to complete this first blog comment/response, since some of us don't have much experience with this type of forum.
Make sure that your screen name contains your real first name in it somewhere, and please include your full name and class section at the end of your comment/response.
Here's the assignment, which you have until 2 PM tomorrow to submit:
Comment on/reply to this post with a highly descriptive and detailed paragraph about one of your food experiences; if you're really on top of your game, you could write a paragraph that will end up somewhere in Essay 1. Treat this as a pre-writing exercise.
Here's an example from Louie, one of last quarter's ENGL 102 students:
Our order came. A large wooden bowl filled with organic strawberries, honey, blueberries and banana that adorned earthy, sweet granola which was just a prelude to the main event - the dark blue Brazilian Acai blended with frozen yogurt. It tasted like a cool tropical paradise. I watched her eyelids slowly close and her head tilt slightly as she inserted the spoonful of island delight. I will forever remember that night.
She was happy so I was happy, and she made my Acai bowl overflow that whole summer.
Good luck, and don't hesitate to e-mail with questions!
