雅思口语P2 Describe a special day that you went out but didn't spend much money（文字版）

Mention about the topic, a special that I went to visit my close friends in another city comes to my mind. It was a special weekend, as we used to have the agreement on getting ready for a home cooked dinner. This is probably why he had visitors. You know, he actually prepared everything in advance, he made it ready for the dinner that was going to do. Like the raw materials and the different kinds of ingredients for example. We didn't do this more often as it was too hard for both of us to get well settled for such a special meal. At the back yard of his house, we spent like 2 hours on this trend. You know, I didn't buy anything. What I am trying to say is that I didn't spend a dollar. Apparently, what I had to do was about cooking the dinner as an assistant. After two to three hours efforts in general, a special home cooked meal was on. You know, we took loads of photos and sent them to some of our friends, like more of a way of showing off. Quite fun. That is it.
