Cooking by ourselves

Emily Yu

When our Christmas holiday, I had gone back to China and met my friend. In order to celebrate we all are together again, we planed to have some different thing for dinner— cooked by ourselves.

 On December 30th, we got up early and began to prepare. In the morning we went to the supermarket to get our food material. It is difficult more than we think. We even did not know what these vegetables are. We could not tell how much we need to buy. So we searched online and asked seller. At last, we solved this problem and get all things that we needed for cooking. And we also bought some juice and drinking for dinner.

Then we arrived at my friend’s house where we would have dinner. We begin to wash all things and search menu online. We have watched the short video to teach us how to cook and it looked not really difficult, so we are really confident. Everything was prepared well, cooking time started.

After we put the oil in pot, we turn on the machine for heating. At that time, oil “jump out” and we all felt scare. When this dangerous situation finished, we walked closer and put vegetable in it. Although there were many difficulties, we were safe and had many things on the table for dinner. The meat were cooked for too much time, so it is not easy to eat. We also cooked rice. When we ate rice, it is really hard, and we realized that it is not ripe, and we needed to put more water in it. At last, we used some vegetables and sausages to cook it again.

Finally, we had our dinner together, it is not really delicious, but it is a happy and warm dinner. We talked to each other about our 2017 and new high school life and discuss what we will cook next time. We had a good time and felt how the cooking is like.
