In this essay, the author laments his family's eating habits and vows to become a good cook.
Another night of takeaway? I can't believe my parents! They bought a
ton of new equipment: pans, mixers, spatulas, and knives. But we never use it. They say there's no time to cook because everyone's too busy, but then we sit and eat while watching cooking programmes on TV. If nothing else, it motivates me to learn to cook and put everything in this kitchen to good use. Maybe someday I'll be a good chef. Then I'll invite my parents to dinner, and we won't eat in front of the TV.
