Maya stood in her small kitchen on Saturday morning. The sun was shining through the clean window pane. She looked at her kitchen cupboards with a critical eye. Everything inside was messy and badly organized. Jars of rice were mixed with tins of tomatoes. Today is the day, Maya declared out loud. She decided to completely reorganise the whole room. Her rescue dog, Milo, wagged his tail happily. He loved spending time near his favorite human. Maya grabbed a red notebook to write her plan. She wanted a modern and efficient system for everything. First, she made a list of all her dry food items. She planned to put spices in small glass jars. Grains and seeds would go on the top shelves. Tofu marinades and sauces belonged on the lower shelf. Maya put on her comfortable green cotton apron. She rolled up her sleeves and opened the first cabinet. She began to pull out every single box and jar. Soon, the kitchen table was completely covered with food. There were bags of red lentils and brown rice everywhere. She also found five open bags of pumpkin seeds. Why do I have so many seeds? she laughed quietly. Next, she removed all the plates and heavy bowls.
