context: Yesterday it was Sunday. We had guests at our house. I had to prepare dinner for them. So I woke up early in the morning. Then I decided what dish I am going to prepare. I wrote down all the ingredients needed for that dish. Then I checked the list to make sure I have all the ingredients. I took out the pen from the closet. I put the pen on the stove. I arranged all the ingredients needed on the shelf while pen was heating up. Then I add some oil in pen and added ingredients of the dish I was preparing. I stirred all the ingredients thoroughly. After the food item was prepared I transfer it from the pen to dinner vessel. then I took that vessel and put it on table. I put dinner mats on table. Everything seemed prepared for dinner, and I was then just waiting for guests to arrive.
