Lentils are live, Lentils are love, they are the best of the world.

 

Who tell you that I LOVE Lentils ?! 


I am not sure if I have a favorite meal, because they are many plates that I like but if you are asking me what food I could eat for a entire month, every day without stop loving eat that, I could say that plate will be red lentils with white rice. 

I love how my mom cook red lentils, but she prepares lentils with meat and I don’t eat meat anymore (two months ago I decide to be vegetarian, and, in a future, I am going to be vegan), so now I have to prepare it by myself. I cook lentils with a lot of vegetables, I like to fry some onions in a pot with olive oil, paprika, pumpkin, scallion ( I really like scallion with any meal), mushroom, and carrot.



 Then I like to use cumin, salt, garlic, curry and pepper to give more flavor to lentils. When all the ingredients are mixes and fried, I put the red lentils into the pot, and I add water and I leave them boil for 15 minutes and finally the red lentils are ready to eat. In another pot I prepare rice just with salt and pepper, the I add water and wait 15 minutes until the rice consume all the water. That’s all !!!! So easy to cook!!!!.

I really like this meal because lentils have a lot of nutritional properties. Lentils are a very good for health.

I invite you to eat pulses, my favorites are lentils, but they are many good recipes to prepare beans and chickpeas, so What are you waiting for to eat a delicious pulses like me?!

English 4, Post 1, 'A country you would like to visit'

Image
Hi everybody!  it’s been a while since my last post, but I’m back! Today  I will talk about which country I would like to travel. As many of you know I’m Chilean and I love my country and Latin-American too. One of my life goals it’s travel through all countries of America starting by Chile. Currently the country I would like to visit again is Peru. I went to Peru with my family in 8 or 10 times in the last 10 years.  I visit some cities like Tacna, Arequipa, Puno, Cusco, Ayacucho, Ica and Moquegua and I want to return as many the times as necessary to finally could say “ I know the entire Peru”. A picture of my brother and I in Cusco on July 2015 I think I am in love with Peru because my mom’s family are from Arica, near to Peru, and I in my memories I remember my family and I spending all my holydays traveling to Tacna and eating delicious Peruvian food. Other thinks that makes me love Peru it’s the culture, and the Andina cosmovision. Maybe I can’t travel to Peru in th...

  Hi! Welcome back to my blog. Today I am going write about my future job. Offf! I don’t have any idea about my future job, I would like to work on the area of quality or sensory evaluation. I like my future job could be on an important food industry like Nestlé or BredenMaster or Carozzi or maybe on an important supermarket like Walmart or the supermarkets of Cencosud. I would like my first job were here on Santiago the Chile, but for my futures works I would them were on the food industries at south of Chile and to be able to have the opportunity to know the country by working or even to be able to travel and know other countries by working.   I would like the job were indoors, I mean to work inside the industry.

The future is so unpredictable that I don't know what my job will be like i...

English 4, Post 3, Why I choose my major'

  Hi! Welcome back to my blog. Today I am going write about my major and why I chose it. First, I have to say I am studying food engineer. If someone ask me Why I choose my major, my answer will be “I just thought food engineering sound good” or “because when I was looking for information about this career I thought a food engineering was that professional who makes food for astronauts”, but the real answer is I don’t have idea why I believe study food engineering could be a good idea, but in this 3 years at university I could say I do not regret about my choice. In this 3 years at university I learn a lot about studies of food properties, how much the food industry impacts the environment and how are so many millions of tons of food waste per year worldwide and in parallel there are so many millions of people who die from lack of food. Also my own interest on learning more about food engineering helps me to continue at university and do not give up. I hope one day to be a ...
