Old & new

11Jan09

So the semester is over and the experiment in public blogging ends as well. Many thanks to Kait Brown, Kasandra Housley & Deb Durant for posting those delicious beginnings in November, and to all 32 students who posted their “typical campus breakfasts” (and the few who also actually posted their “atypical-day after-Thanksgiving breakfasts” like they were supposed to). We, as a class, populated a youtube channel to end the term with digital storytelling projects on, well, the anthropology of food: youtube.com/anthrofoodista.

Happy New Year, everyone!


I like to keep things simple for breakfast. I usually just have a bowl of cereal. Today I decided to have some Cheerios with milk.

This is a typical Ghanaian dish made of beans and rice with beef stew and I enjoy eating this in the morning.

This was one of my breakfasts during Thanksgiving break: bacon, egg and beans. Alot of the days I over slept and would have a bagel or heat up some of the left overs in the fridge.

Typical Breakfast as Seton Hall

Typical Breakfast as Seton Hall

As you can see from the image of my typical breakfast at Seton Hall, it is not elaborate or much of anything more than food to hold me over until lunch.  It only consists of a water and a granola bar. My breakfasts at home however, tend to be more detailed and more filling. As you can see from the photo, I ate a short stack of pancakes with syrup and butter, with a side of bacon and a glass of orange juice. This was made on Thanksgiving morning and was enjoyed by my immediate family.


When I came home for thanksgiving break, my grandma invited me over one morning for a Lebanese breakfast. I hadn’t eaten a Lebanese breakfast in a long time so I couldn’t resist!


Over Thanksgiving break my breakfast was not too healthy. I had pancakes almost every single day! They were really good though and I really enjoyed them. I made them for my sister and myself almost every day and my Mom made them for us once. My Mom usually spoils me when I come home making all of my favorite foods. When she suggested pancakes one day for breakfast I couldn’t resist!
