When my grandma cooked in the kitchen, I would like to help her. I helped her wash vegetables, clean dishes and so on. Then l set the table and waited for her to eat together. It was really a warm memory for me.
My grandma always tried to create new dishes. Every time after she cooked a new dish, she would let me try first. Then she would wait for my comments for the dish. After I told her how I liked the dish, she would write down some notes on a small notebook.
When I grew up, I went to another city to work. Although I tried a lot of food in many expensive restaurants, in my eyes, my grandma was the best cook in the world.

The Kennedy Elementary school band(乐队)is special. That's because Tony Boland, a member of it, is a 79-year-old flute(长笛)player. His story tells us that you're never too old to toot the flute.
After working at the school for more than ten years, Tony joined the fifth graders in the band. His grandchildren were at the school. He help with reading.
He started tooting the flute many years ago, when his wire tried to throw away(扔掉)their daughter s flute.
"You will play better if you play with others," he told a reporter.
Brian Enabnit thought Tony would make a difference to the band. "He's great. He's helping the students around him, "Enabnit said.
Tony practises with the students once a week and performs with them. They played at the Dubuque Community School District's Band Festival earlier this month.

Do you like eating ice-cream? Do you know how ice-cream spread in the world?
The earliest ice was eaten in China many years ago. People put fruit juice into ice. Later, this idea spread to Italy. Nero, the emperor of Rome between 54 AD and 68 AD, liked to eat ice between violin lessons. He ordered runners to run to the mountain, get snow and quickly run back to the palace. The snow was mixed with fruit juice and honey.
Around 1660, coffee shops serving ice-ream were very popular in Paris. Most of the coffee shops were owned by Italians. The first successful one was opened by a man from Italy named Francesco Procopio.
Ice-cream was probably to America in the early 1700s, and it quickly became the favorite of American presidents. George Washington had ice-cream machine in his kitchen. Dolly Madison, the wife of President Madison, was the first one to serve her guests ice-cream in the White House.
Before ice-cream was sold in stores, it was made and frozen(冷冻)at home. It took lots of work to mix cream, eggs, fruit, ice and salt, and then to freeze it. Nancy Johnson, an American woman made the hand-turned ice-cream freezer in 1846. Five years later, Jacob Flusell opened first ice-cream freezer in 1846. Five years later, Jacob Flusell opened first ice-cream business in Baltimore, Maryland. His business quickly spread to other states.
