Literacy Narrative Topic

I have finally decided on my literacy narrative topic. I really had no idea as to what I wanted to do. But then it finally hit me, what do I really love, enjoy, and can not live without? Food! Yes, I absolutely love food. Everything about it, the smell, the taste, the texture. I love fried food, baked goods, protein, meats, veggies, fruits, pasta, anything and everything. There is no food that I have tried and didn't like. I remember the first time I actually fell in love with food, because I have obviously liked food. I was watching Rachael Ray's cooking show, 30 Minute Meals (http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170791372l/71806.jpg), one afternoon after school. It was the first day of sixth grade, and I came home and was flipping through the channels looking for something to watch, and I had come across Rachael's show. I hadn't ever watched it before, and I became quickly intrigued. I'm not sure if it was her enthusiasm for food or the fact that she could make anything in 30 minutes, or how good everything looked, but I knew from then on I wanted to know anything and everything I could know about food. I used to try to cook all the time, I wasn't very good at it in the beginning, but I tried so hard and I never gave up.However, I was lucky that my house didn't burn down, that's how terrible I was at first. And for a while, I wanted to become a chef because of Rachael Ray, until I realized that cooking and eating was kind of just a hobby for me. Still to this day I am constantly watching The Food Network,(http://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/index.html) but not just Rachael anymore. I love The Iron Chef, Chopped, Emeril, Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, (http://www.foodnetwork.com/diners-drive-ins-and-dives/index.html) The Food Network Challenges, Top Chef (on Bravo TV) basically anything that has to do with cooking or food. I also started trying different kinds of foods that I never would have thought about trying in a million years, and I liked everything. Food has opened my mind up to so many different cultures, Asian, Middle eastern, French cuisine, southern cooking, Thai food, and so on and so on. It has made me less ignorant to the different cultures in the world and has expanded my thinking. I now want to visit so many countries and try all the food that I can. I want to not only eat their food, but try to learn how to make it. Food has helped me realize what I want in life, I want to travel and expand myself as much as possible. It has really made me who I am today, and I am grateful to the fact that I will not give up until I have learned everything there is to know about food.
