Actual Transcription:
Cooking breakfast can be fun if you enjoy it , and making food for someone else is even better. I usually cook eggs and bacon. First, I warm up the stove and then beat the eggs in a bowl. I prefer scrambled eggs, but I can make just about any type. I warm up the burner on the stove, and I pour the eggs in a frying pan. I use a spatula to mix and turn over the eggs. Once the eggs are done, I remove them from the pan and serve them to the family. If the eggs aren’t salty enough, the kids can add more salt or pepper.
