The Big Mac

Do you remember the commercial that McDonalds had for the Big Mac? Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. The advertisement sole purpose was to convince the audience how delicious the Big Mac was. The ad features a perfectly made burger, with all the ingredients listed. The idea of the advertisement is to capture the audience attention. The photographer and the preparer of the big mac do a good job in capturing the audience attention. The ad is appealing to someone whom is trying to decide what to have to eat. If you are caught hungry this looks like the perfect time to have a big mac.The claim presented is this is a burger too good to be pass up. The big mac may as well be the best of all burgers. The burger is eye appealing and as mention earlier, every item of the burger is displayed neatly. However, if you have ever been to McDonalds, you would know this is false advertisement. Having work for McDonald, I can say they do try to create a perfect burger The big mac is also known as one of the first burgers on the menu of McDonalds. Throughout the years there have been improvements to the burger. Other restaurants have tried to imitate the big mac i.e. In and out burgers is similar to the big mac with its own special sauce. The ad does show all the ingredients that are mention in the commercial, and this is what enhances the appearance of the big mac. Many have tried to duplicate the big mac, but none have been successful. McDonald’s always try to keep in sync with the society of today. McDonalds is a worldwide establishment. I have had the opportunity to dine at McDonalds while visiting Japan. The ad clearly states that the big mac will be around for years to come.

A picture is said to be worth a thousand words. If this is the case what comes to mind when you look at this picture.   I can say this ad shows that sex sells. We know that without a doubt the Los Angeles Lakers are the defending world champions. This ad here is clearly trying to get the attention of the male gender. The ad makes the claim that being a fan of the Los Angles has it perks. The ad also displays that Lisa Ray is a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers. Factors that contribute to my view is the bikini is a Los Angeles Laker bikini, along with the boots. The ad is clearly displaying the beauty of Lisa Ray to keep out attention on her. It is hard not to notice how she is straddling displaying the Lakers on her crotch. The ad reads the Lakers new secret weapon. I am convinced that if Lisa Ray was a Los Angeles Lakers cheerleader, men would spend their entire saving to see her in this appeal. Wives however may look at the ad differently. The female may look at the ad as saying she is showing all her assets just for publicity. My overall opinion of this display of sexiness is that the photographer does a great job in displaying his message. It is hard not to agree that the main objective of this article is not only for marketing, but to also capture the viewer attention. The photo also shows a nice background with the greenery he uses. The photographer also accessorizes Ms. Ray with a nice collection of jewelry. The boots with the heels, are a sight for women who loves boots with hills. The main objective overall is that not only basketball, but the majority of professional sports uses models to increase their sales.

Pinto Beans and Corn Bread

Pinto Beans and Corn bread.

There are many dishes African Americans love; by far we do love our pinto beans. Pinto Beans is a dish that you can make a good meal by itself without any meat. By far in the days of my grandparents this was one of their most economical meals. Today I have learned from my grandparents, to my parents, how to take such a simple recipe and make it into an award winning dish.

First you must let the beans soak for an hour, this is to clean the beans. The next step is to thoroughly wash the beans. I next proceed to cook the beans. My first step is to add about 6 cups of warm water to a pot, add beans and seasoned. I proceed to let the beans simmer on medium heat for about 3 hours. My next step is to cook one pound of ground chuck. After the ground chuck is done I add it to the beans along with a can of Hormel chili and I continued to let the beans simmer for an additional 30 minutes. While the beans are cooking in the first stage I normally add an oxtail to my beans for texture.

Growing up in the south you can’t have pinto beans without cornbread. The traditional method of making cornbread is homemade, using cornmeal, eggs, milk, butter, and oil.

As time have changed our daily schedules are more complex, I found a quicker way to make cornbread. There are numerous pre prepared cornbread on the market. Some might choose jiffy, other might choose Martha white, but I prefer Trader’s Joe. Trader’s Joe is a bit more expensive, but the quality and taste is well worth the price you pay for it. The cornbread is quite simple to make all you need is an 8X8 baking square dish, one egg, ¼ cup of milk.

This meal is a simple meal that does not take a lot of your time total prep time is less than an hour. I am sure that once you try this dish you will love it.
