Eating outside or cook at home
It's amazing that the life in the United States is really different from my life in China. This time, I will talk about eating in Houghton, the town I live. It could represent the style of eating in the U.S.A, even there is no big restaurant.
Eating outside is always with fast food. It is very convenient and with some kinds of options to choose. For example, hamburger, sandwich, salad or wrap. You could choose chicken, beef or pork or others, and different vegetables, lettuce, tomatoes. And also varies of cheese, I could not distinguish them. For the sauce, the options are more, typically I would ask for something spicy and could not say the name. Maybe next time, or next next time I will figure out some of them.
Another important feature is the food is in good measure. I always become really full after eating just one hamburger. After living here for about 15 days, I am sure that my stomach is much bigger than before. In terms of the beverage, people would like to have a big cup of Coke or other soft drink. I would like to try it at the first few times, but now I would rather drinking water.
Chinese restaurant is a good choice for Chinese gathering, which could remind of the home food. In my opinion, the food there isn't really like the flavor I have in China. But at least, it is a choice to eating outside.
Eating outside could provide the energy for working or studying. However, healthier and delicious food is need to make by yourself. Fortunately, before I leaving China, my mother have trained me cooking for about one month. That's really helpful for me to adapting the new life. Living in the apartment, I could make breakfast everyday. Making a piece of nutritional breakfast provide me with good energy and better mood. Therefore, I try to make different breakfast each day. Try with different ingredient like vegetables, fruit.
At weekends, I would like to make dumplings. Or roommate would cook a hotpot. That's really enjoyable to have delicious home food.
Go shopping every week, it is a good time to buy the necessary food for one week. I prefer to buy plenty of meat and milk, and I really enjoy it.
