Writing of favorite food is not easy because there’s a lot to choose, especially nowadays where we can have recipes from every part of the world. We can eat Chinese food with a Greek salad and tropical juice, or maybe Arabic food with African accompaniment, and a Chilean wine.
So I think that today there’s a variety of food that makes this question a hard one. As I like cooking, my preferences are Arabic food and Chinese food. Also in religion food is important, some Buddhist recipes are just as healthier as delicious, they don’t use many condiments, they use mostly the ingredients as they come, not using salt or pepper. We also have Hare Krishna food, they live in communities and they don’t work on regular jobs, they produces and make their own clothes and furniture, also they plant their own food, these two cultures are vegetarian. Krishna won’t use garlic, onion or champignon. They use instead pepper, ginger, mustard seeds and curry.
We also have Thai food, is delicious but the most striking aspect is the colors they use, is like painted food, and this is made only by using colored products, there’s no additional things on it, like chemical stuff, just natural colors.
And meat, I have spoken about vegetarian food, but we can’t forget meat on this, there’s a lot of meat recipes, there’s also a lot of discussion about it, because these products belongs to living, walking things, animals are even venerated on some cultures, as cows on India, cats on Egypt, some people becomes vegetarian just because of this topics. Argentinean and Chilean people argued about how to cook meat, the like it on mid terms and in Chile is well cooked.
As a conclusion food is not just to fulfill basic needs nowadays.

Well if I have to choose a favorite group. The ones I liked the most were “The Doors”. It was on a beach where Jim Morrison met Ray Manzarek after the university. Jim shown a poem to Ray called “Moonlight Drive” and ray asked him to sing it, then they formed the band, Ray played the keyboard and he looked for the other members of the band, Krieger and Desmore. The band was complete, they got their name of a William Blake’s poem "If the doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear to man as it is: infinite." They played on pubs, where someday the president of Elektra Records found them and offered a contract, they signed but even though it was a very important moment it was a short time comtract because Jim was irreverent, rebel, he never followed the rules and this was the first time they show it. In a typical concert on a pub in the song “the end” he sings "Father? Yes son?, I want to kill you", "Mother? I want to fuck you". Even though they had explicitly told not to sing that part, and then in a television show were asked to change a song’s letter but he won’t do it.

On Bicentenary holidays a friend of mine has asked me to go to her house where we would make a barbecue, we haven’t seen each other for at least 6 months or something So it’s a nice opportunity to talk of things we have done so far or laugh about some other issues that have happened to us, for example a joke, a weird moment even those when we got confused. I’m also going to a “fonda” in La Florida, where we will drink beer because the theme of the “fonda” is a beer party. We have to confirm our appointment because it’s hard for us to meet when it’s about something out of the university.
The other days maybe I will work at home I think, four days of holiday are too many for somebody’s pocket and we have to make a set of knitting looms for the week after the national holidays.
I don’t know yet but I think I’m going to another “fonda” with my family or at least we will cook something in my house. We don’t make the typical barbecue so maybe we will cook something vegetarian,a sort of “empanadas” or Chinese food.

So cheers, have fun, and celebrate.
