I always ask my parents to cook me something tasty. But last weekend they weren't at home. I was becoming very hungry though only two hours have passed after they went out. I started to think what the way I can feed myself and decided to find a recipe of something tasty and fast to cook at Internet. I found the recipe of the tasty sandwich and cooked it very fast. I even couldn't imagine that I cooked something very tasty and so fast! I enjoyed eating my sandwich!
Since that times I try to cook on my own. Of course, I cook not so tasty as my parents do but I only study how to do it as well!
