"Excellent!" Penny replied. She and her sister had spoken several times about Gen's efforts learning to cook and being able to have a meal at her table that she had prepared herself, well that was pretty impressive to Penny and she had complete faith that she would succeed.
Penny nodded at Gen's request and moved toward the pot. She took the bowls over toward the pot, setting one down so she could take up the ladle with her free hand. She was almost laughably cautious with the hot liquid but then, it wasn't as though she had a great deal of experience. It took her a little bit of time but her cautiousness paid off when she not only managed to fill both bowls but she did it without spilling or burning herself. She felt somewhat proud of that small achievement when she brought the two steaming bowls to the table.
