Translation

When I was in high school, my mother made me a bento every day. My favorite was the tamagoyaki (rolled omelet). It was sweet and very delicious. My mother would always say 'Eat a lot' and pack the bento box with plenty of vegetables and meat. Now, I live alone. I cook for myself, but I can't beat the taste of my mother's tamagoyaki. I hope to have her teach me how to cook someday.
