"Try the shredded potatoes. I remember when I first started learning how to cook, I made this vinegar-flavored shredded potato dish. The finished product back then... um... I put in too much vinegar, the heat was too high, and before putting the potatoes in the pan, I didn't know to rinse them in water first. I thought all I needed to do was peel them, cut them into shreds, and then fry them directly."

She remembered this incident very clearly. She was young then, about twelve years old. Her father had just left, and her grandmother was in poor health, down with a minor cold, but because her father had left, her grandmother's spirits weren't good.
