However, the type of bean and rice dish you are most familiar with likely has to do with your personal background. For today’s discussion, please share a memory related to a meal that is meaningful to you, especially including the process of preparation of that dish. Alternatively (or additionally), look up a recipe online that you might be interested in trying out and share that with the class. Reflection: 1 pageInstructions1.
