2014年ESL之餐饮娱乐 20 Storing Food

Storing Food 

Lee: Wow, what are we going to do with all these leftovers¹? 

Sarah: Let’s store them in different containers and we can each take some to work to share. We won’t be able to eat all of this ourselves, and I don’t want it to go to waste. 

Lee: Okay, I’ll get some plastic containers and sandwich bags for the cookies. 

Sarah: Can you also grab some wax paper, too? We’ll need to put some between each brownie so they don’t stick together. 

Lee: We’re not going to have enough plastic containers. How about wrapping up some of this food in Saran wrap or aluminum² foil? 

Sarah: Great idea. I think I have some freezer bags, too. We might as well freeze a couple of pieces of cake to eat later. 

Lee: I wish we could vacuum seal them and store more pieces. That cake was really good! 

Sarah: I know. I could eat three pieces in one sitting. 

Lee: Hmm. On second thought, for the sake of our waistlines, maybe that wouldn’t be such a good idea.
