Written Exercise 245 - DIARY OF AUGUST 7TH The 7th of August was a Saturday. The weather was overcast and there was a rainstorm in the afternoon. In the morning, I had a steamed pumpkin bun, a boiled egg and a small-sized sweet potato for breakfast. I made a cup of black soybean milk to go with the food as well. They were a perfect match. I also spent hours cooking lunch. I made a dish of simmered duck and potatoes, a dish of stir-fried needle mushrooms with shredded peppers and a dish of pan-fried tender tofu. They tasted good. I considered whether I should write some recipes for them. I did not study my English during the day and I went to bed at around 11:30 but woke up to turn off the light at around 3:30 in the morning. Too bad!
