Strength in Numbers

It is often said that there is strength in numbers. And for the most part it is talking about people, and the strength in the number of people. Why is it that there is strength in numbers, or is there really strength in numbers? I personally find that when I am in a group of people I am more willing to try new things, and I am not as scared. I am actually the type of person who doesn't like to do anything alone. So I prefer to do things with others. I don't think most people like to do things alone, so they find strength in others. When more people are around it is easier to feel safer and more secure. there is more than one person looking out for your safety. If you think of it if you were ever stranded on an island would you do better with just two people or 10. I personally would feel much better with ten people. there are more people looking for solutions, hunting for food, and it wouldn't be as lonely. People find strength in numbers, because you have more ideas and physically you have more strength. If you want to dig a ditch my chance, it is more likely to get done faster. Also if you have to solve a mental problem there are more people with ideas and solutions. When people stick to together it is easier to overcome things, but when it is all about fending for yourself things can become difficult. Having more people to support you, look after you, and help you can make any situation in life easier. So whoever said that there was strength in numbers was definitely right.

Cake

There aren't that many people in the world who don't like cake. It is almost a sin if you do not like cake. What is it about this deliciouse dessert that makes it so loveable? Cake comes in many varieties; you have chocolate, carrot, yellow, cheese, angle food, ice cream, texas sheet, and I could go. People love to be able to choose, and the variety is so large that if a person doesn't like chocolate cake they have something else to choose from. Also cake can be eaten at any time in the day. It is good for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It never gets old. One thing I like about cake is that it used to celebrate many wonderful occasions. We eat cake at birthdays, weddings, parties, and just plain dessert after dinner. When I think of cakes it reminds me of all the wonderful happy times in my life. But I would have to say the best reason for loving cake is the sweet taste. When someone is in a bad mood all they need to do is take a bite of a soft, delicious, scrumptious, sweet, loaded with sugar cake. Cake will make anyone smile.

Fondue

For dinner tonight my sister made my family fondue. I have never had fondue before, and I thought that it would be a fun new experience. I never new all the different things you could eat with fondue. There is bread, carrots, chicken, beef, broccoli, and whatever your heart desires. Then if you want Chocolate Fondue you have to have strawberries, marshmallows, brownies, pineapple, and anything that goes good with chocolate. So when one thinks of fondue they usually think of wealthier people eating it with their friends and having a grand ol time. But it turns out that fondue originated from the poor people in Europe. They would melt the different cheeses over the fire, and then dip their stale bread in it. It is funny that something and the poor used could become such a delicacy to the wealthy. How though did this come to be? Now days instead of dipping stale bread into fondue you need to buy the more expensive almost exotic bread. And instead of bread we dip lots of other things that when added up can become expensive. Also back when fondue was first made it was probably something easy and fast to do. However now it is very slow. My family started dinner at 6:15 and got done eating at 9:00. That was the longest meal I have ever had. First we had the cheese fondue, the some chicken and beef in peanut oil, and last the chocolate fondue. It took along time to prepare and then it was quite difficult to eat. So this meal that use to be fast and for the poor has become a slow relaxing meal for the wealthy.
