Моя подруга Лили только что начала заниматься на кулинарных курсах, и они ей страшно нравятся. Сейчас она живет в квартире своей сестры, пока не найдет что-нибудь для себя. Ванесса любит принимать гостей, поэтому она все время кого-нибудь приглашает в гости.
На прошлой неделе я был у нее на обеде. Я не виделся с Ванессой больше месяца и с нетерпением ждал
этого обеда. Когда я пришел, Ванесса готовила, так что я предложил ей помочь. Вечер прошел великолепно, я всегда получаю удовольствие от хорошей еды и хорошего общества. Сегодня я готовлю для нее. Я приготовлю свое фирменное блюдо. Если бы у меня было побольше времени, я бы приготовил что-нибудь особенное. Если бы я только купил вчера ту особую приправу, я был бы счастлив! Но, увы. Однако мясо,запеченное в брусничном соусе, думаю тоже подойдёт. Я с нетерпение жду ужина!
