My Family Culture
*Description of the 3
items I would choose to take with me.
Item 1
My family photo book
I would take a photograph that includes my mom, 3 sisters, my
2 brothers and me. I would take this picture because; unlike most group photos
we did not plan to wear a certain color. We all wore clothes that we chose and
hairstyles we chose individually. I think this picture is a great talking peace
to discuss my family. It shows our beliefs as a group and also our beliefs as
individuals. We had varying hairstyles and clothing styles, yet the belief to
be individuals also reflected how we believed a family should function as a
unit.
Item 2
My mother’s macaroni
and cheese recipe
This is something all her children request be present at
holiday dinners. It is very creamy, baked and has more cheese in it than
macaroni. I want give the recipe away here on this blog page because only her
children have the recipe. This dish is apart of our culture.
Item 3
The Holy Bible
Although we do not have a family bible, the bible is
something that was read and promoted in our home. The teachings have guided our
home.
*The one personal item
I would keep.
The Holy Bible. It was the thing that guided my family. This
item reflects a lot of my family culture and belief.
Insight gained from
this assignment
This assignment made me really focus in on what I see as
valuable with regard to my culture and family. I had to really look at what
really reflected my beliefs. The photo also made me become aware of my family
and our similarities.
Charlene I love that you included your favorite family recipe! Traditional family foods are the one thing that truly screams my own family culture. The only reason I chose not to include recipes is because I have made them so many times with my immediate family that I know we would be able to recreate them without an actual recipe. I just hope we would be able to get the ingredients. While I don't have a family photo book, this assignment has actually given me the idea that I need to create one.
ReplyDeleteCulure and traditions are amazing among us all. I love that you would take a recipe. A si have read other posts, photos are important. I like the way we all describe and explain out own individual identity.
ReplyDeleteI too included a cookbook my mother has compiled for my sister and myself as something I would keep as my item. Even though my sister and I have watched and cooked with my mother since we were little, the recipes you have as a family definitely define the culture you possess as a family.
