Unit 1 - P1

P1: Describe the most recent meal you had. What did you eat? Where and how? With whom? Was the meal in any way remarkable?

The most recent meal that I had was breakfast with my grandma, my parents, and my brother. There was a variety of breakfast foods for the choosing since it was a celebration in anticipation for my new school quarter.

Since I have class at 8 on Monday mornings, we had to wake up really early in order to all eat together. Grandma made her pancakes from scratch, and my parents made a torta dish which is like an egg omelette filled with tiny silver fish. We also ate turkey bacon, as per our usual routine. Ever since we tried it, we have not returned to regular bacon. There was orange juice and milk, toasted bread and freshly washed fruits in bowls. The mangoes were particularly sweet and ripe, so it was fun to eat them. My grandma likes to make sure that we eat a balanced meal in the morning since she says it's one of the two most important meals of the day.

Since the sun had not risen yet, and it was still quite cold, we all huddled up in fluffy, warm blankets to eat breakfast in our living room since we didn't have enough chairs in our dining room for the five of us. It was a very cheerful morning and encouraging because my family told me to try my best in school since education opportunities in the Philippines are more scarce since most people have to work to make end's meat.

The meal was very remarkable, and I was very grateful because my whole family made a nice feast before I left for DU again. Spending quality family time is remarkable in its own right, but when you spruce up common day events like eating breakfast, it makes it all the more special.
