Doing this assignment and preparing for and thinking about the winter makes me feel like my life in Alaska will be like a real-life Skyrim adventure. I began thinking of how the experience reminded me of playing Skyrim, specifically cooking with the recipes in the game. I made some cornbread and cabbage soup and harvested some mint in which I put up later for some special tea. I began thinking about my relationship with food in other ways, such as how I go through cycles of eating that range from being mindful about the way and things in which I chose to eat, to emotionally eating and not caring about what I am eating. I imagined having to work my land in order to grow, process, and then store the food and seeds for the winter months. I began thinking about the amount of time and preparation that it would take in order to feed myself thought the winter. My next thought was the contrast of the former line of thinking. This made me begin to appreciate the people that I work with and the ease in which I am able to obtain the food that I need for the winter season. The manager had given me the items for 25 cents each. I bought some of the things that I needed on clearance, but there wasn't a price on these items so I needed to get a price for the items from the grocery manager. As I was shopping at my grocery store which is also my place of employment. As I bought the items in which I needed in order to make some soup and cornbread, I thought about how I make my living from food. This project for me was all about my relationship with food.
