One day you will move out and live alone.
Yes. And you need to know how to cook. You can't eat fast food every day. I know, Dad. Someday I will learn. Today is that day. I'll teach you today. Why today? Your mom just texted me. She has to work late, so she can't come home for dinner tonight. Really? How late? Until 10:00. She has an important project. Uh, does that mean we have no dinner? No, like I said, I'll teach you how to cook. We'll cook dinner. Why don't we order pizza? I'm tired.
Your mom is tired after work every day, too, Jake. But she always makes hot meals for us. You're right. That's why I was thinking, why don't we cook dinner and take it to her office? Are you sure she will like it? She'll love it, Jake. Wait, Dad. I You will thank me later. Believe me. Come on. So, where do we start? Look, we have chicken, potatoes, and vegetables. We'll make roasted chicken with vegetables and potato soup. Do you know how to cook them?
No, but I helped your mom boil pasta once. This should be easy like that. Are you serious, Dad? Just kidding. I can cook simple food. That's how I survived before I met your mom. Now you will wash the vegetables and cut the chicken. I'll make the soup. Uh, okay, Dad. Jake, how's the chicken? Well, I just realized I don't know how to cut the chicken. At least you realize that now, not when you're alone in your own apartment. How do you hold the knife? Like this. You need to relax your hand a little. Move your thumb and index finger up. This. Yes. Good. And put your other fingers back.
Why? So you can hold the chicken better and you won't cut your fingers. Oh, I see. What do I do next? Now you should move your knife hand like a wave. Very slowly. Like this. Oh, perfect. You're doing well. I know. If I keep learning, I will be like Gordon Ramsay soon. Yes, Mr. Ramsay. Please continue. Finally, we did it. Our dinner is ready. Cooking is much harder than I thought. Your mom makes it look easy, doesn't she?
I think I will cook or at least help mom cook from now on. Well, me too. Anyway, what do you think of our result? It looks okay. Not perfect, but okay. I think it looks good. Your mom will love it. Or she will act like she loves We'll see about that. Let's go to her office now. Michael Jake, what are you doing here? Hi, Mom. We brought something for you. What is it? We know you're working late and you don't like takeouts. So, here is a home-cooked dinner for you.
You cooked both of you? Yes, we made roasted chicken with vegetables and potato soup. This smells wonderful. Did you really make this? Of course, Mom. We did. It wasn't easy, but we worked together. I can't wait to try it. Come on, let's sit down. How is it, honey? This is delicious. This is the best dinner I ever had. Really? Are you sure it doesn't taste strange? The food is perfect, Jake. It tastes like love. Well, this love is a bit burnt today.
I'll make it better next time. Wow, my son will cook for me again. When? After some more practice, I hope. I'll cook more often, too, honey. You shouldn't do everything alone. This is the first time. I love working late. Thank you both of you. This makes me so happy. I love you. We love you, too. Realize definition to understand or notice something. Sorry, I didn't realize you had company. I didn't realize you were so damn pretty.
Well, I just realized I don't know how to cut the chicken knife. Definition: A tool used for cutting food. Oh, I was careless with the kitchen knife. Three plates with a knife and a fork. How do you hold the knife? Take out. Definition. Food you buy at a restaurant to eat elsewhere. Why don't you invite one of your friends over and you can order takeout? Who wants Chinese takeout? We know you're working late and you don't like takeouts.
Home-cooked definition, made at home, not from a restaurant. Nothing like a home-cooked meal, honey. First of all, there's no home-cooked meals like this. So, here is a home-cooked dinner for you. Smell definition to notice the scent with your nose. Smell like a sushi restaurant dumpster on a hot day. She said you can always smell it on girls who sell it. This smells wonderful. Strange is definition. Unusual or not normal? He's very strange. There's always strange people in my house.
Really? Are you sure it doesn't taste strange? Burn. Definition: Too cooked and black. Burnt up in the flames, man. I think you done burnt up your cake. Well, this love is a bit burnt today.
