    Antonio!

    !Tu hiciste excellente otra vez! Pero hay pequenos errores, no grande cosa.

    Tus Errores:

    1) For prepared this food. -No es corrected. La palabra prepared this food means it has already been done. This tense is in el pasado.

    Debe Ser- To prepare this food.........This is before the food is prepared. What you need to do to make this food.

    2) Instead of saying tomato sauce WITH spices, I would say And spices.

    3) Tie, boil and ready...I would say tie. boil  Until it is ready. -This is more proper in english.

    4)La palabra delicius-no es correcto.

       Debe ser- DELICIOUS.

    5)The sentence enjoy your meal is perfect. I would just add ! for more emphasis to the reader.

                  ENJOY YOUR MEAL!

     You did a wonderful job!!!!!Continue on my friend!

    Hi Antonio, 

    You hardly need my review after all of the others' comments, but let me say your writing is very good and I agree with their suggestions.
