Ice cream
As it churns round and round it gets colder and colder. The rich and frothy milk and dark brown chocolate oscillates continuously. Round M&M’s, wrinkly nuts, and numerous chocolate toppings are lined up in a row; a flavor army about to bombard my soon to be masterpiece. Syrupy flavor additives such as rose red strawberry and light brown caramel are shaken up and ready to pour. The cornerstone of this dessert is finally chilled and mixed well enough to enable the concocting to begin. This handmade milky and soon to be melting goodness is ready. I add crushed up candy, warmed chocolate syrup, and butterscotch drizzle to the main body inside my hug bowl. I slowly swirl the ingredients, all of these lovely sweet aromas are mashing together and mixing inside of my nostrils. Yet this amazing mix is not meant just for the nose, the king of flavor, the mouth is its domain. My spoonful comes to my mouth. Chocolate melts in my mouth. The mash of flavors blends. The milky and frothy goodness flows smoothly down my tongue and into my stomach. After three more servings, I have finally finished eating my homemade ice cream.

Sushi – rainbow roll
It’s decoratively lined up on a large elegant white plate. It’s obvious that there was a lot of practice put into presenting such decadent meals onto the platter. The colors featured are brighter than any other with pink, orange, white, and small amounts of green.
The outside: rice as white as the fresher snow on the ground. A layer of different types of fish are above the rice. It goes in order or salmon, tuna, salmon, tuna. In between each of those to hold them together is a small amount of avocado, which is also inside as well.
The inside: filled with all the flavor pieces. Avocado, cucumber, shrimp, and a type of slowly cooked egg that takes chefs years to master.
It is a very acquired taste, very fresh. The taste is best when cold. Fresh doesn’t have an overwhelming fishy taste. The texture is both crunchy and soft-providing the best of both worlds. Crunchy on the inside, soft on the outside.
Most of the time it does not smell like fish either, but more of like a fresh, cold and cooling air being blown.

Spaghetti and Garlic Bread
Fresh, ripe tomatoes sit upon the counter. Nearby lies an assortment of aromatic herbs--basil, thyme, and various other leafy greens. Your attention, however, is drawn to the contents of the silver pot, which is bubbling merrily on the stove. Inside the pot floats the angel hair pasta, slowly softening until it bends easily. When stirred, it gently cascades around the spoon. Next to the pot, a crimson colored sauce simmers. Once again, though, your attention is drawn elsewhere—this time to the oven. Peering in, you can see soft bread slowly turning a golden brown color. Accompanying this vision is the heavenly smell of garlic and melting butter. This delicious smell mingles with the savory scent of the red sauce. Your stomach rumbles. Then the oven timer rings, signaling that this mouthwatering vision will soon be all yours to enjoy.
