Reading:

"What’s in the Refrigerator?"

Sarah opened her refrigerator to figure out what to make for dinner. She saw a variety of items: fresh vegetables, some leftover chicken from the night before, a carton of eggs, and a bottle of milk. She knew she had a few options, but she wasn’t sure what she felt like eating.

Her husband, John, walked into the kitchen and asked, “What are we having tonight?”

“I’m not sure,” Sarah replied. “There are some vegetables, we could make a salad. Or, there’s leftover chicken if you want that.”

John thought for a moment. “How about we use the eggs and make an omelet? We can add some of the leftover chicken and vegetables.”

“That sounds perfect,” Sarah said. She grabbed the eggs from the fridge while John chopped the vegetables. Together, they cooked a delicious omelet using everything they found in the fridge.

By the time they finished, they had used up most of the food that had been sitting in the fridge for a while. They were happy not only with their meal but also because they didn’t let any food go to waste.
