Our Trip to McDonald's. 2

We took about an eight minute walked to what most call, a cheap and tasty bite at McDonald's. As we finally reached the fast food restaurant's heavy glass doors, my roommate pulled one open and waited for me to walked through it. As I stepped in the first thing I noticed was the unpleasant cold smelly air that hit my face. It smelled like old over burnt grease, it reminded me why I don't eat fast food. As my roommate got in line I took a look around and noticed the variety of people at the place. A little boy at the beverage bar getting a quick refill. Teenagers overcrowded at a table laughing and eating their buggers as if they have never ate before. A couple of families scattered around the location chatting and enjoying their meal. As the line moved up I noticed where the horrible smell was coming from, two large deep fryers on the other side of the counter. The oil was bubbling and it had reached such a dark color, it didn't even look like oil anymore. Finally just two people ahead of us so we can place our order. I asked my roommate if he knew what he was having. He said he was not yet sure. He explained he was still unsure if he should go with a number 1 and a shake or with a number 10 as a meal. I had to take a look at the colorful menu to find out he was talking about a big mac or an order of chicken nuggets with a soda and some fries. It was finally our turn, a young lady smiles at us and says hi, can I have your order?. My roommate quickly blurs out yes, can I have a number 1 just the sandwich and a large chocolate shake. She asked if that was all, she repeats the order and after the order was paid for she hands over a receipt. We step a side and wait for the other to be out. As we wait by the beverage bar I noticed that the little boy is once again refilling his cup, this time he looks confused about what it is he wants to drink this time. He glanced over at me I smile he smiled back, and I hear a young man yelling order 251. My roommate yells back "its me", he grabs the paper bag and his large cup and we take off for our walk back home. I was happy to smell the fresh hot air from outside after being at that stinky McDonald's.

Our Trip to McDonald's.

Believe it or not, I don't really eat fast food- unless I really really have no other choice. For this assignment i decided to accompanied my roommate for a quick bite at the nearest McDonald's. We took a walk there, is about a 10 min walk. when we finally reached the restaurant I was a bit surprise to find so many people at 9:35pm at a fast food place. There was about seven people forming a line while a couple of families and group of teenagers were scattered around the location. I noticed a little boy stood up twice to refill his cup (a medium sized cup) while my roommate and I stood waiting for our turn to order.  Finally a young lady smiles at us and say "Can I have your order?". My roommate orders a number one just the sandwich with a large chocolate milkshake. We step aside to wait for the food, in about three minutes my roommate had a bag with his Big Mac and his milk shake and we were back on our way back to the house..... and that my trip to McDonald's.

interesting facts about fast food restaurants

Got a little bored so decided to look for something interesting to put up on my blog.... I happen to come across a fact I found hard to believe...."Because McDonald's initially did not want its customers to stay and socialize, they prohibited newspaper boxes, candy machines, telephones, pinball machines, jukeboxes, and other types of entertainment. They also installed uncomfortable chairs to deter customers from lingering" there is a few other facts that might also catch your attention click on the lick and see what else I came across....http://facts.randomhistory.com/2009/06/27_fast-food.html.

welcome to my blog

Hey everybody,

      My name is Dahriana Correa and I am a 19 year old who hardly cooks, not because I don't like to do so but because I really don't know how to. I actually prefer doing the shopping and letting my roommate do the cooking. To me going food shopping its an interesting adventure. There is so many different types of foods and brands at the supermarket sometimes is hard to even pick one simple can of corn.
      Although I don't know how to cook a large variety of things I like going to the supermarket and just picking random ingredients to see what I can come up with at home. Believe it or not, it usually turns out pretty good, I even impress myself sometimes.
       Since my great creations don't always take place, at home we eat typical Spanish food, rice and beans with what ever meat is in the fridge. honestly is not my favorite thing to eat. I highly enjoy eating pasta. Fettuccine Alfredo to be exact.
       honestly I have no clue where or how all the food is processed nor where it exactly comes from but I'm looking forward on finding out. Because honestly speaking I am a very big fan of food don't know what i would do without it. But anyways that's enough about me and what I like to do and eat. I will like to let you know that this blog was created for my Ethics of Food class. This is actually my first assignment and I am very excited to learn all the great information this course has to offer. I am also excited to be able to share my thoughts with you guys and get feedback on how you all feel about them. I hope you guys like it, and thanks for taking the time to read my very first blog.
