Aside from picking up various cutting and preparing techniques and acquiring the skill to make pasta from scratch, we made new friends with whom we continue to be in touch. I would like to advise young people who lazy around during their summer break that working for a wage makes you feel really good about yourself, and taking part in constructive activities with friends can be enormously satisfying and rewarding.
By the way, my mom shows me the Chronicle columns she believes are suitable for me to read. I must add that I laughed till my sides hurt when I read about the eighteen-year-old who held the door shut on his grandmother. No disrespect intended, but I can see my brothers doing the exact same thing to our “young” bubby. Guess it takes longer for boys to grow up.
