Over the past ten months of pandemic life, cooking has become a shelter for me. New York Times food editor Sam Sifton referred to Korean fried rice and said it "improves moods, atmospheres and weeks alike". ①_________ I'd argue it improves physical health, finances and skills, and reduces stress. Really, cooking is a rewarding thing you should do these days.
Cooking food for yourself is beneficial to your physical health. When you cook your own food, you control exactly what goes into your body. It's the best possible way to "dial in" or clean up your diet. ②_________ A recent survey has found that twice as many Americans are cooking at home than a year ago, and that nearly a quarter are doing so in an effort to eat healthier.

In terms of improving cooking skill, you can't help but improve if you do it over and over again. With so many other outlets for hobbies shut down right now, why not view your kitchen as a mini universe to be explored You've got the tools, not to mention the human requirement to eat. I can't think of another hobby where your body physically requires you to practice several times daily. ④_________
How does cooking relieve stress, you might be wondering ⑤_________ If you're organized enough to cook meals in advance, you end the weeknight dilemma of "what's for dinner ". Furthermore, as you get better at cooking, you will spare the need to order food.

①_______ But as we were a two-person team, after lots of lunch breaks and late nights in the office, I realized our differences complemented(互补) each other. She was the person I could count on for sound advice.
And in the way life often is, when we both left the company, our friendship changed somehow. ②_______ I noticed the difference, but chalked it up to both of us being too busy. After all, some friendships fade.
So when Cathy called me out suggesting "we were good partners in the office, Mary, but maybe we aren't a good fit outside of it", I was shocked, and then ashamed. Because she was right, I had stopped being a real friend throughout-the year.
I had two choices: go with what Cathy suggested or try to save our friendship. ③_______ So I put my pride in my pocket and apologized.
I started texting every week or so, about conversation topics like book recommendations, the computer game she was playing, and writing festivals we were thinking of attending. ④_______ I initiated group outings.
