7 Food items you HAVE to try in this lifetime

Who doesn't like food? If you are truly and irrevocably in love with food, you probably love trying out (non-life-threatening) different dishes from all over the world like the next foodie. That pleasant smell wafting from plates with familiar and unfamiliar delicacies that makes your heart flutter, the butterflies in your stomach dance in blissful joy, get your eyes to glisten with the desire to have that heavenly-looking goodness in your mouth and down your throat to your stomach--it's an out-of-body-out-of-the-world experience that only a true connoisseur of food would understand. I consider myself extremely lucky because of coming from a culture that takes cooking and food and spices very seriously, so this one's for all you foodies out there...I present to you food items from my culture you HAVE to try if you ever get the chance: these are forever popular among people of all ages, but especially to teenagers. Oh, and this might have a few junk foods so excuse me!

1. Phuchka: Savory appetizer, main course, satisfying snack- all in one

A.K.A. Fuchka/Panipuri/Golgappa, Phuchka is probably one of the heavenly things you'd find here on earth. With round breakable shells (called Phuchka) filled with mind-numbingly amazing stuffing (called chaat) which are dipped into freshly prepared tamarind/coriander sauce (called chutney), Phuchka is a lifesaver: after a long tiring day at work, after school, during a midlife crisis, while pondering over the bigger meaning of life in universe, when you get fired or get promoted--anytime, anywhere. Depending on where you're having it, the filling may vary slightly or a lot, but it's still Phuchka, and you can't help falling for it every time.

Which one would you try first?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
