Getting home from school, I tiredly walk to my room and hit straight to the bed. There I am, lying down on my bed very sick and await for someone to notice. Then finally 15 minutes later, my mom comes to my room and sees me on the bed, not looking so well. She feels my neck and forehead to check if i have fever or not. When she finds out that I do have fever or not. When she found out that I do have fever, she goes to the kitchen and takes out the ingredients and everything she needs to make the soup called Pinapaitan.
Pinapaitan is actually beef innards stew. To make this you would need ox tripe, small intestine, beef, cows heart, tablespoons of bile, ginger julienned, onions, dice, and garlic (crushed or chopped).
The reason why my mom is going to make pinapaitan whenever im sick because she knows that this soup would make me feel a lot of stronger and better than before. This soup is too good that i can't actually come up with words to describe it. But whenever I do eat this soup i just wanna get up and dance and share this to everybody I know.
The person that taught my mom how to make pinapaitan was my grandpa (her mom). The reason why my grandpa wanted her to learn how to make this was not only because he wanted my mom to share this with her own family, but to also make it for him. At that time when my grandpa taught my mom to make this soup my grandpa was really sick and was craving for pinapaitan. So he told my mom to watch and learn how to make this soup so next time when he gets sick, my mom would be there to make this soup and he wouldn't have to.
Before this essay, I really did not know what Pinapaitan was. From all your descriptive details I want to try Pinapaitan.
ReplyDeleteYou need to read over your entire essay, there is a lot of word use error "share this to everybody I know" and uneccesary words added that make it highly confusing "When she finds out that I do have fever or not. When she found out that I do have fever," Also you need to explain why you chose this dish, what makes it so special to you, yes the soup taste good when you are sick but what else? How do you feel after eating it? You also need to give more personal connection to your story.
