Reflection:

I made a very simple dish this week. Because I was sick for a few days, I don’t have for complicated food, so I just want to eat something simple. And materials I used, ham and lettuce, were both going to expire soon, I do not want to waste them, so I mixed them together, it tastes really plain. It is something I have never done before. This might be the plainest meal I have ever made. But I did like it when I am sick, I think for someone who just recovered from sickness, plain food is the best. And it also feels really good to finish all the food in my refrigerator and have nothing left.
