Steamed Eggs

I have decided that I should cook more often. Since the beginning of this year, I had been eating out a lot. If I cooked, I would just cook Korean spicy instant noodles. I have gained about 10 pounds. During the summer holiday, I went back to China to visit my parents and friends. My mother told me I should do more exercise. I knew she wanted to tell me that I should lose some weight. One of my parents' friend, who cares about me a lot ever since I was little, saw me again in August. She gave me tips on how to lose weight, even though I didn't ask for it!

Last week, I wanted to cook steamed egg, a simple dish that my grandmother used to make. I also had it at a friend's before she went back to China for her field trips. I stirred three chicken eggs, added some water, and put it on the stove to steam. It turned out not tasty at all! I called my parents and asked them how to make steamed eggs. Then I found out that I forgot to add some oil, but I added too much water. The good thing is that the dogs aren't too picky. I tried a second time. This time, it was only eatable. I think I have to try several times before it tastes good.
