When summer arrives, the first thing that goes in my mind is sun screens. I do my best to avoid getting “baked” by the heat of the sun. When I spend my days indoors, I usually turn the AC to its coolest level. My mom often asks me to help with the chores inside the house since I have nothing else to do. I really don’t like to do it, but I don’t want to go out either. Then an idea came to me. I decided to ask my mom to teach me on how to cook.

My experience with cooking was enjoyable to say the least. I didn’t know that I have a knack in preparing food. My mom was very impressed on my progress and decided to teach me some of her secret recipes. I often accompany her to buy ingredients for our little “experiments” and we always went to this store with the retractable canopy. They sell the best vegetables and meat in town and the prices is very reasonable as well. When my mom has taught me everything that she knew, I was officially accepted as the substitute cook in our house. Staying indoors during the summer is not so bad after all.
