What i've learned from the television

Believe it or not, you can actually learn something from watching TV. Crazy idea right? Somewhere in the mix of american idols, jersey shore guidos and high school musicals there is some quality programming that you can learn from. For many people's wise project, the television is probably nothing more then a distraction from actual work. However, since my project is all about cooking, the tv is one of the most essential sources in my arsenal. There are two channels on my tv specifically dedicated to food and the art of cooking. This weekend I watched a special on dim sum... Which is basically all the bite-sized entrees that are made in traditional asian cooking. Watching this show opened my eyes to the cultural significance of food. This week, I'm going to look even deeper into the cultural significance of certain foods such as pork and beef .
