Description

1 No I fried an egg last Saturday. (I will show a leader at Show & Tell)It is 2 times quicker when I boil water with a lid on. When we use a pot, we should always put the lid on and this will use less energy to save the environment…..

2 No I set a table for dinner at home (see picture attached). We had soup, fried beef and mixed vegetables that night
