Translation

Half a year has passed since I started living alone. At first, I only ate out, but recently I have been trying to cook for myself. Choosing fresh vegetables at the supermarket is surprisingly fun, and my cooking skills have been improving little by little. Food I make myself feels healthier than what I eat outside. Plus, I have been able to save quite a bit on food expenses. I plan to continue trying new recipes on weekends.
