地道美語聽力播客:Cooking Dinner做晚餐

I'm not a very good cook but I decided to surprise my wife by making a three-course meal. I went to the supermarket to get the dessert, and I stopped by the farmer's market to get some fresh vegetables, my ingredients for the salad.
The meal would start with a salad. I washed the vegetables in the sink , chopped them up , and mixed them in a bowl with a light dressing . That was pretty easy.
The next course was going to be more difficult. The main dish would be salmon. I put the oil and the fish in the pan , but it was difficult to know when it was done , not underdone orovercooked .
The last part of the meal would be the dessert. I decided to buy a small chocolate cake. The meal turned out pretty well and my wife enjoyed it. After dinner, we went into the kitchen andsaw all of the dirty dishes that needed washing. I realized that cooking isn't the hard part, it's the cleaning up !
