My project-my trip with the fish balls.

            It was Wednesday afternoon; June 1.The time was 2.00 o’clock pm .I left my work .I went to the whole food market in union square. I am in English 099 class and I have to do a project about this grocery store. I thought it would be easy to do this project, but I discovered that it is not easy at all. But it is o.k. because I love to choose the uneasy options. Plus I can do anything to get the 100 points, because I need to get A in this class.
             I went inside. Really I was shocked .Oh my god! What is that! It is a very big store. It offers high quality of food stuff, organic and unique products. This store contains of two floors and 20 cashiers. It offers a plenty of options, catering and regular shopping. I walked around and I took photos for almost every section in the store, until one of the managers stopped me “excuse me mama we don’t take photos here. I am sorry” he said .The selection in this store is spectacular as it should be in a central area like union square. The store has 20 cashiers. These cashiers make sure every line goes fast.
          Whole food market is a grocery store of natural and organic food and  products ,They have fresh flowers, grocery ,bakery, hot and cold prepared food, big salad bar, sea food ,meat , whole body products, organic wines, good selection of books and magazines, They even have summer shoes. I loved the salad bar because it contains a lot of options. Everything is clean, tons of variety of healthy food. The quality is great. I loved it. I wish I can go there to shop once in a while. These are the photos I took.


































           

             For me, I love fish so much. So I went to seafood section. I bought tilapia fish, which I will cook at home. It is an Egyptian recipe and I hope you like it. It called fish balls like meat balls.
           - It contain of, 1 lbs. of tilapia, 1 piece of onion, some cilantro, 1 spoon of garlic, salt and black pepper.2 eggs. Some oil for fried,some bread crumbs for fried.
          I mixed all the stuff above, the fish, the onion, the cilantro, the garlic with the salt and the black pepper in the food processor, until it becomes soft. I took small pieces and I did them like balls. I put the two eggs together in a deep plate and mixed them together.Then I put one by one in the bread. In the same time I put the oil in a deep pan on the stove, and then I put one ball in the egg, and put it again into the oil. When I finished all of them,  I lifted until all the balls become red color. I took them off the pan. I put them on a presenting plate full of cilantro under them. I presented this meal with salad .We enjoyed; it so much and I hope you try it and enjoyed it also. Here are the photos of recipe, and I hope you like it.
