My dad was out of town on business for Monday and Tuesday night, which left me in charge of the household and my brother. 
In this situation, I had to do certain chores I’ve never done before—such as make supper from scratch!
That’s right. Although I’ve helped out in the kitchen before, I‘ve never cooked dinner from scratch without supervision before. I made diced chicken with pasta. I didn’t remember how to make a basil pesto sauce for the pasta, unfortunately; however, I added basil, curry, and soy sauce to the chicken, which spread to the pasta. But wait, there’s more! I also did laundry.
I guess since I’m 18 I should be learning this stuff—or I should already know it. I‘ve been lucky to have parents who have let me sustain such a sheltered existence. 
It’s not that I don’t like cooking—I enjoyed the experience—but I just haven’t had the time to cook often enough to get better at it. Hopefully that will change, although there’s a certain laziness factor to overcome first… .
In other news, I’ve got a super cool new chair. Now if only I could get up from it!

Your brother is lucky. I would have just made sandwiches.
