A Meal to Remember

I consider myself a 3 course meal. Each course represents different parts of me and different ingredients of my life. The first course will be a rich seafood risotto served with a side dish of warm cream of celery soup. The risotto's tanginess and strong flavor represents the excitement of my life and my passion while the creaminess of the soup represents the richness of my life and my empathy. The second course will be a medium cooked hearty piece of rib eye steak brushed with garlic butter and a roasted beef sauce along with roasted vegetables. This dish will be coupled with a side of creamy mashed potatoes, a side of vegetable tagliatelle and a final side of seafood ravioli. All of this is accompanied with cream sauce and BBQ sauce condiments. The steak represents my heart and my courtesy and the motivation drive of my life. The mashed potatoes represent the element of hard work while the tagliatelle represents my artistic sense and the influence of art in my life. The ravioli represents my grit which is what holds my life together just as the pasta holds the ravioli together. The roasted beef and BBQ sauces represent my anger and the fierceness of my life. The final course will be a coffee and chocolate cream cake with a side of vanilla ice cream and a fresh drink of ice tea. The moist and layered cream cake will represent the layers of pleasures of my life and my happiness while the smooth vanilla ice cream represents the hope in my life and my optimism. And lastly, the ice tea represents the calm and collectiveness of my life and my ability to think critically.
