I spent a lot of my childhood in my grandma's country kitchen.The most prized 41 in her kitchen was her recipe box. A brilliant baker,my grandma cherished the wood box 42 with beloved and secret family recipes.
That tiny kitchen was where my family gathered every Sunday and holiday, 43 it wasn't just a place to cook.It was the place where she connected our family's past to the present,teaching me our family history 44 the food she made.
Her kitchen is where I shared my life with my grandma too.After baking,she 45 always cut two slices of pie,then pour a cup of coffee for herself and a glass of milk for me,and we'd sit and 46 at her table.We'd mostly discuss what I was going to do when I 47 , and see places she'd never had the chance to see.\" 48 do you think Paris is like in the spring?\"she'd ask.＂Send me a postcard when you go.”
I was in college when my grandma 49 her last Thanksgiving.I returned home on break and spent most of my time in the 50 with her,baking the pies for our family.When we 51 , she cut two slices and poured the coffee and milk, as 52 .“Tell me about Chicago,\"she said,eyes 53 .

Every Thanksgiving,I make the 54 desserts from my grandma's recipe box.And after I finish,I 55 cut two slices of pie,pour a cup of coffee and a glass of milk,take a seat at my own kitchen table,and tell my grandma all about my life.

Bright star of the musical galaxy (银河系 )
Kris has always wanted to be a bridge between the East and West.
“Music is very 21 and language doesn’t matter that much sometimes,” the 28-year-old
Chinese-Canadian singer-songwriter told Forbes magazine. “Even if you think of K-pop music(韩国流行音乐), people don’t understand what they’re saying but 22 you like it, you like it. His experience of 23 probably explains his attitude toward music. He rose to 24 as a member of K-pop boy group, EXO. Born and 25 in China, Kris moved to Canada at age 10 with his family. In 2014, he started his solo(独唱的) 26 . Since then, he’s been based in China.
As an international rapper(说唱歌手) , Kris has always wanted to be the “Jackie Chan of music”. “I’m an artist . I do urban music,” he told Nylon Radio. “At the same time. .. I’m trying to bridge the East and West with my music.”
Kris is well on his way toward 27 his goal. In June, he became the first Chinese artist to make the Billboard 28 100 when his new single Like That reached No. 73. After 29 this milestone(里程碑) , the singer spoke about his
13
Chinese heritage(华裔) on his Sina Weibo account.
“I’m very proud to be Chinese,” he wrote.” I want the whole 30 to hear Chinese music.”
And on Nov. 2, Kris 31 a new album Antares, which features both Mandarin (普通话的)and English songs. It dominated (占据榜首)Apple’s iTunes Store Chart for days.
“I spent more than two years 32 on the album,” Kris posted on Sina Weibo. “1 chose fourteen songs for the album, which speak for me.”
In fact, the album’s title, Antares, is 33 his birthday. Antares is one of the brightest stars in the galaxy, and in the Western world, they call this star “the 34 of the scorpion (天蝎),”Kris told Forbes. “1 was a November 35 , so 1 am a Scorpio.”
Kris is certainly one of the brightest stars in today’s musical firmament(苍穹).
