LESSON 1
Welcome to 'Sheila's Kitchen.' Today's program is about salads. Good
Good morning, Sheila.
Announcer:
Welcome to "Sheila's Kitchen." Our program today is about
salads.
Hello, Mike. And good morning to all our listeners. When I was young, we ate
green salads - lettuce or cucumbers - with some salt and a little lemon juice.
My mother served the salad with meat, chicken, and fish. But today, salads can
be your meal. Salads are healthy summer foods. And for dessert, some people
like a fresh fruit salad. And now, a few words about Durelle plates and dishes.
You can cook in them, bake in them, and freeze food in them, too. Buy
Durelle products and enjoy them in the kitchen and on your table. They are
strong enough for cooking. They are pretty enough for guests. Now let's return
to our salads.
