A busy morning in the kitchen
Text: A Busy Morning in the Kitchen
Every morning, Anna spends time in the kitchen preparing breakfast for her family. First, she washes her hands and puts on an apron to keep her clothes clean.
She starts by boiling water to make tea and toasting some bread. Then, she cracks a few eggs into a bowl and whisks them to prepare scrambled eggs. While the eggs are cooking, she chops some fresh vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers for a healthy salad.
Sometimes she peels fruits like bananas or apples to make a fruit salad. She also pours milk into glasses and puts butter and jam on the table.
After breakfast is ready, Anna calls her family to eat. When they finish, she wipes the table, washes the dishes, and cleans the kitchen to keep everything tidy.
Cooking in the kitchen is not just about making food; it’s about caring for your family and keeping your home organized.
