Development: | We use the stove to boil the water. We use the knives to cut the vegetables. We use the pot to heat the water to cook the pasta. We use a fold to stir the salad dressing. We use the bowl to mix the ingredients in. We use a spoon to get and measure ingredients. We use the measuring cup to measure the ingredients. We use the peppers to add a sweet flavor. We use the onion to get a spicy flavor. We use the spices to enhance the overall flavor. We use the olive oil to prevent the salad from drying out and to enhance flavor. We use Vinegar to help the vegetables absorb the flavors and to preserve the salad. |
