Translation

Recently, I started cooking. Until now, I ate out every day, but it costs money and I was a little worried about my health. So, last week, I bought vegetables and meat at the supermarket and tried making curry myself. It seemed difficult at first, but when I tried it, it was surprisingly fun. The food I cooked myself tasted much better than the food at restaurants. From now on, I plan to challenge myself with new recipes little by little on the weekends. And someday, I want to invite my friends over to my house and have them eat my home-cooked meals.
