My Mommy’s Brave Heart

After Duke finished cooking dinner, he went upstairs to change his clothes and came downstairs again.

Even though there were only three dishes, they included six steaks. When put all at once, they took up the entire table.

Mr. Winters felt quite a sense of accomplishment as a result.

Six of them sat down at the table. There was already a plate of steak that looked pretty excellent in front of each of them.

Duke elegantly put the napkin on his knee and said, “Try it to see what it tastes like.” Harold was the first one who was excited to cut a slice of steak and put it into his mouth. After only tasting a bite, the little guy wrinkled his brow and said, “It’s so hard, too hard, I hardly can chew it.”

Duke was speechless.

According to the chef, the fire was just right for grilling the steak. Why was the steak so tough?

Alden tasted a bite of steamed sea bass and said, “The fish meat is quite fresh and juicy, but it’s too salty.”

Duke could not come up with any words.

The chef mentioned that’it would be good to just put two spoons of salt, and he also followed his instruction to put only two spoons of salt. What made it salty? George ate the scalded shrimp. “The shrimp is cooked, but the sauce is a little spicy.”

Duke remained silent.
