In the past, there were many fire accidents in the kitchen because fires were lit for cooking. However, in recent years, most kitchen stoves have been made flameless. We call it an induction stove. So these days, instead of fires, the most common accidents that happen in the kitchen are breaking dishes or spilling water or food on the floor. In particular, as men spend more and more time cooking, they often break dishes or spill food on the floor in unfamiliar kitchen environments. When my family members (two daughters) criticize me for it, I say this. “As the old saying goes, a daughter-in-law who does not wash the dishes cannot be forgiven, but a daughter-in-law who breaks a dish while washing dishes must be forgiven.” The two daughters who heard my story agreed with me. It is better to try something than to do nothing, and making mistakes in the process should be tolerated.

Happy Thursday, Sun!
