Noah Galuten has done. He raced around the Southland (the name given to the towns and cities that surround
Los Angeles county in California) for almost four months, indulging in (沉迷于) lunches, dinners and a few
breakfast without a break.
Although he"s not chef (厨师), Galuten grew up around good food. His mother mainly cooked Italian food,
and he recalled standing on a stool (板凳) making sauce when he was six years old. He also cooked dinners
for friends during his college years. And he had experimented and adapted food from many cultures.
Galuten"s food journey began after he graduated from college. Unemployed and back in Los Angeles, he
decided to try something that he had a passion for. And he hoped it would help him "keep his mind off his
unemployment depression.
Then he set up a blog and began his food journey. The requirement was to eat one dish at each place. After
each meal, he would write a biog about the food, the cost, the environment and the company. It was indeed an
incredible challenge. Sometimes Galuten searched online and contacted a friend of a friend for a restaurant tip
or seeking out local food companies, he mostly dined at inexpensive restaurants.
His journey also used up his savings. Galuten figured that he spent about $11,000 during the 102-day
experiment, including groceries, meals, gasoline, rent and other living cost. Now that he has used up all his
money and is $4,000 in debt, he is seriously joy-hunting.
But he pointed out, "I feel very happy now, although I am in debt. It"s not to say that a lack of money has
caused my happiness, because the feeling is not related to money at all. It"s more about doing that is important
to you and sticking to what makes you happy, then making it the focus of your life."

Grandma could no longer 6 , so when she came home from the hospital, she and Penny were 7 companions. After her stroke, it became a real 8 for Grandma to let Penny in and out because 9 was at the bottom of a flight of stairs. So a mechanism (机械装置) using a rope and pulley (滑轮) was 10 from the door to a handle at the top of the stairs. Grandma just had to pull the handle to open arid close the door. If the store was 11 Penny"s favorite dog food, Grandma would make one of us 12 Penny browned beef with potatoes in it. I can remember 13 my grandmother by saying that she loved that dog better than she loved her family. As the years passed, it was not 14 for Grandma and Penny to separate each other. If Grandma went to take her nap (打盹), Penny stayed by her side until she 15 . As Penny aged, she could no longer jump up on the bed, so she 16 on the rug (垫子) beside the bed.
