     Meals are an important factor in my household. The usual meal in my home would consist of either chicken, steak, pork chops with rice beans and certain mixed vegetables. I usually eat at home unless I am outside. If I'm outside with my friends we usually go to McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, any pizzeria or a diner. I'm not a fan of eating alone so I usually eat with either my friends or my family. My mother usually does the cooking in my house, however I cook on occasions too. What I like to cook  the most would be pancakes or french toast for breakfast and chicken cutlets or lasagna either with meat or vegetables . I like to cook these because its simple to make an it taste good. When it's time to go grocery shopping my mom is the one who goes. Sometimes I go with her and we do it together. What we eat on a daily basis isn't really associated with our culture. We do have some meals that we prepare on special occasions. I am Mexican so a lot of our meals are spicy and include meats such as beef, pork, goat, and chicken. Not too long ago I worked as a waiter for a small diner not far from my neighborhood. I quit that job within the first week. Waiting tables just isn't the job for me. Throughout my day I don't really eat unless I get hungry. In between work and school I sometimes eat at night when I'm done with the day. Of course during the day I have small snacks like crackers, fruit, or yogurt. That's pretty concludes the food in my life.
