Posted by Olympiad Tester on
Eva adores her grandpa. He resides in Texas and pays a visit every month. She yearns for more frequent visits, as her grandpa captivates her with fascinating tales and prepares her favorite dinner.
Yearning for a taste of her grandpa's specialty, Eva requests her mom to replicate his barbeque chicken recipe. However, her mom replies, "I will give it a try, but no one can quite match Grandpa's culinary skills."
Eva attentively observes her mom as she prepares the savory sauce for the chicken. The aroma fills the air, enticing her taste buds. As the family gathers around the table to enjoy the meal, it becomes evident that her mom's rendition, while delicious, falls short of her grandpa's mastery.
