[Speaker 1] Yes it was, i had two pots brewed for company!! That hiked to get to me, lol. They had to wait a bit longer for hot beverages.

[Speaker 2] I see. Did you husky help clean up by drinking it all up?

[Speaker 1] He started to then cried because he realized how hot it was.

[Speaker 2] Oh ya, forgot the tea would probably be too hot! What kind of tea was it?

[Speaker 1] Earl grey, it is my favorite, do you enjoy drinking tea?

[Speaker 2] I do! And Early grey is the best! Too bad it went to waste

[Speaker 1] Yea it happend to say it nicely, lol. I had more thankfully. Did you get any pictures of the eclipse?

[Speaker 2] I tried to but it didn't really turn out great. I usually just like to enjoy it with my eyes. Were you able to see the eclipse from where you are?

[Speaker 1] I tried a new tea and I'd love to tell you about it.

[Speaker 2] That's cool! Is it really different to Earl grey?

[Speaker 1] It is actually pretty similar. It is a strong orange flavored tea by Bigelow. Very citrus fruit flavored like Earl grey. So delicious!

[Speaker 2] That is so good! I would love to try it. I love trying new things. Have you seen anything good on tv recently?

[Speaker 1] Yes! I like to try new things too. I get scared really easily, so I have not been watching horror shows. I love sitcoms, like Brooklyn 99 and WandaVision. Have you seen those shows?

[Speaker 2] I havent watched WandaVision but I heard good things about it! Is it an action genre? I watched a few netflix horror series but I've stopped recently

[Speaker 1] Yes, it is about the super heroes Wanda and Vision from the Marvel Universe. It is really funny but also has a lot of action in it. I like those genres!

[Speaker 2] I haven't watched a lot of marvel, but i did watch the spider man films. I think those were great. do you watch tv with your pet?

[Speaker 1] Yes, my husky likes to watch tv with me. We watch a lot of nature shows together. He likes to bark at the rabbits and birds. Do you wish you had a pet?

[Speaker 2] I sometimes wish I do. It can be lonely since i live alone. but my apartment charges extra for housing pets. How did you get your husky?

[Speaker 1] I rescued my husky from the animal shelter. He was a little puppy then but now he is HUGE! I live in a big house with a yard, so lots of room to play. It would be hard to have pets in an apartment. Would they charge extra for having a fish?

[Speaker 2] Oh thats fantastic! I love the thought of rescuing animals. So much better for all parties! I'm not sure if they would charge extra for fish actually. I could ask my neighbor because I know he is a fish collector. Do you think you would get another pet?

I like video games.

I live in the north.

I love to eat fish.

I like to read.

I saw the eclipse.

I like to try new things. I get scared easily and don't watch horror shows. I love sitcoms, like Brooklyn 99 and Wandavision. I like the comedy and action genres.

I have a pet Husky. I like to watch nature shows with him. I rescued my husky from the animal shelter when he was a puppy. I live in a big house with a yard.

Red is my favorite color.

I enjoy watching the eclipse.

I love trying new things.

I like horror shows. I have watched a few Netflix horror series. I haven't watched many Marvel movies, but enjoyed the Spider Man films.

I do not have any pets. I like bugs. Sometimes I wish I had a pet. I live alone. My apartment building charges extra for pets. I love the thought of rescuing animals.

[Speaker 1] I checked out some of those horror tv shows on Netflix that you mentioned!

[Speaker 2] Great. Which ones? I also tried Hulu and Amazon Prime, but I prefer Netflix.

[Speaker 1] Stanger Things at the moment. So fun! And terrifying. Did you like that one?

[Speaker 2] No, I have not seen that one. What is that about? What do you watch Netflix on? I watch it sometimes on my laptop, and sometimes on my television.

[Speaker 1] It is on Netflix! I was SURE you would have seen it! It is based in the 80s and is about monsters and science! I don't want to ruin it for you. You should check it out! Is there one that you think I should watch next? I also have Amazon Prime, but not Hulu.

[Speaker 2] I recommend Supernatural and Sweet Home. I liked those. I dislike when people ruin a movie or television show for me, especially when they know I am about to watch it. I sometimes also watch documentaries of serial killers on Netflix.

[Speaker 1] Thanks for the tips! I hate when people ruin shows for me too! I have a friend who does it a lot...so should I even call her a friend??? What is it about serial killers that interests you?

[Speaker 2] I think it is good stay informed about serial killers and other criminals so if they ever somehow get out of prison, you know who to look out for. I would still call her friend. She probably doesn't mean that much harm. You don't watch the horror shows with your dog, do you? The dog might get scared. If I had kids, I think I would limit how much horror media they could watch.

[Speaker 1] I am way more scared than Tonka! He helped calm me down after the lead actor was attacked by a man named Cyrus and died!

[Speaker 2] Oh, good then. Sometimes I record a show or movie from Netflix, so I can be sure I can watch it if my internet connection ever goes out. Once there was a storm that raged all night, and luckily I had recordings of a few different horror movies to choose from. It was just perfect.

[Speaker 1] Do you have to record them? i think there is a function that let's you download a movie for later viewing. Do you own Supernatural?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I that's what I meant. I use that function. Yes, I own Supernatural. I think what has attracted me to Supernatural is that as a child I was scared that there was constantly angels and demons at war with each other. I used to tell me friend whenever I had a weird dream and we'd debate whether it was a sign that a war between heaven and hell was becoming particularly intense.

[Speaker 2] Thankfully not since the last time we talked. I had a really good talk with them about behavior and expectations. I feel like we're a lot closer now.

[Speaker 1] That's good to hear! Glad you were able to communicate with them and that you all feel closer.

[Speaker 2] Me too! How are you? Have you gotten to use your German at all lately?

[Speaker 1] I'm doing okay. I talked with a German friend of mine over the phone the other day, so that was fun! I was happy to get some practice in.

[Speaker 2] Nice! It's good to keep it fresh in your mind. I can't wait for the weekend when I can relax. Do you have any fun plans?

[Speaker 1] Me too, looking forward to the weekend. I might go to a bbq on Saturday. How about you?

[Speaker 2] Sounds fun! It just snowed here so I'll probably go sledding with my kids or do some other fun snow activity. I wish we had bbq weather here.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a good time! I'm sure your kids will enjoy that. Hopefully some nice weather will head your way soon.

[Speaker 2] Thanks! I sure hope so. I love sunny days the most. Is the Saturday bbq with friends or family?

I know the other speaker's brother.

[Speaker 1] I had the best martini at a restaurant we went to on Friday!

[Speaker 2] I'm jealous, what kind of food did they serve there? I would like to try it if it has food accomodations for my allergies.

[Speaker 1] It was a very varied menu. I really enjoyed it. Well, i can tell you that i didn't get upset stomach at all in this place, so i am sure you would be just fine with their menu! My brother said you guys were gonna meet up next week, i'll ask him to take you there.

[Speaker 2] Can't wait, I'm sure I'll find something to eat that won't give me an allergic reaction. Have you been to a zoo recently, I just went last weekend with my children to see some koalas.

[Speaker 1] No i haven't been for so long! Did the kids enjoy it? I love koalas so much, i should really get myself to a zoo.

[Speaker 2] They did, they had a blast. I think my son preferred seeing the tigers, while my daughter couldn't decide on which animal was here favorite.

[Speaker 1] That's great. I love how close you are with your kids. Listen, i don't know if you want to talk about it yet, but how is your stressful situation going? Are you okay?

[Speaker 2] Its much better now, thank you. It was a really difficult time for me at work, and I was able to work it through with my coworkers and manager.

[Speaker 1] I am so sorry to hear about that. I am glad you managed to work through it. Maybe you should consider moving? Maybe the cold climate is effecting you and you would do better off in a warmer place to be happier?

[Speaker 2] That wouldn't be a bad idea. My children as much as they love the cold and the snow, also enjoy playing out in the sun and in warmer temperatures.

[Speaker 1] It seems to help a lot of people that live in colder climate places. And it doesn't have to be permanently, at least for a while, for a change. The beauty of life is that nothing is permanent.

[Speaker 2] I guess it must be the lower amounts of sunlight people get in colder climates. I'll consider different options, although I think moving out will be the one thing I will dread doing. The last time I moved I ended up pulling my back from moving all the furniture.

I get upset stomachs easy.

I haven't been to the zoo in a long time. I love koalas.

I am tall. I have a roommate.

I like koalas.

I have food allergies.

I went through a stressful situation. I enjoy feeling closer with my kids. Work has been stressful for me, but things are better now.

I know the other speaker's brother.

I went to the zoo last weekend with my children.My son likes tigers, but my daughter doesn't have a favorite.

The last time I moved, I hurt my back.

[Speaker 1] My aunt has some bad allergies, so I called her for some advice for you.

[Speaker 2] What all is she alergic to?  Have you tried any medications yet or removing what she is alergic too from her house?

[Speaker 1] Shellfish. Strawberries. Those are the two worst. She's seen a lot of doctors. They've helped a little.

[Speaker 2] It can be tough with the food alergies.  I cant eat shellfish either which is a shame because I live it.  I used to not be alergic and then one day my body said no.  I have to keep an epipen on me just in case now.  I didnt know you could be alergic to strawberries

[Speaker 1] Yeah. She eats a strawberry and she swells up and breaks out in a rash. Quite a sight to see. No one else in the family has the allergy.

[Speaker 2] wow, does taking benedryl help?  like maybe take it before hand to slow down or stop the reaction.

[Speaker 1] She has some pills from the doctor, but it's just better to be super careful and avoid the source of the problem. She likes plenty of other foods, so she can indulge.

[Speaker 2] Well thats good, im glad that she has some help and that she likes other foods.  It can be real tough changing your diet to fit your restrictions.

[Speaker 1] She's got loads of hobbies, so she doesn't miss the foods too much. If you can't enjoy something, then you find something else to enjoy.

[Speaker 2] exactly there is so much more to life than one thing!  Always find something that makes you happy.

[Speaker 1] Too many people focus on the things that they can't have and not the things they can. The world is wide. Just broaden your tastes and you're sure to discover a new indulgence.

[Speaker 2] So true!  When I had to stop eating shellfish I discoved I could do more than I thought with Fish and now I love fish!

[Speaker 2] That's sounds like the perfect book they will love. I think it would be great if you release an audio version too.

[Speaker 1] That is a great idea! I think I just might do that. How is your grandson doing?

[Speaker 2] He's great. He's in the fourth grade and just started playing hockey for the first time. I love watching him play.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I plan to do some hunting. Probably try to get some grouse this spring. Have you ever hunted?

[Speaker 2] I have not! How did you get interested in hunting?

[Speaker 1] You should try it sometime!  I got into hunting after being stranded on an island when our plane crashed. One of the other passengers was a survival training instructor and taught me a lot about hunting.

[Speaker 2] Being outdoors is the best. I have a camper but, this time I am taking a tent. I want my grandkids to get a feel for tent camping first. How do you camp, tent or camper?

[Speaker 1] I like to use tents also. It's gives a real feel for what camping is really like. Do you think your grandson will be okay without a tablet or cellphone lol

[Speaker 2] I agree, I especially love the sound of rain on a tent!! Makes it feel magical. Yes, the grandkids will be ok without a tablet. Their parents have regulated the use their whole lives.

[Speaker 2] I'm the youngest of 7 kids and my parents are no longer together.

[Speaker 1] Way to non sequitur the conversation, friend. You ok?

[Speaker 2] Yeah I'm good but I did break my arm for the second time at the funeral.

I am overweight.

I am a widow.

My husband died young.

I have six older siblings. My parents split up.

[Speaker 1] Hope that your broken arm is healing well.

[Speaker 2] It is, thanks for asking. I am looking forward to getting the cast off and taking a proper shower, though!

[Speaker 1] I hear that!  Having all those siblings, did you ever have a broken bone as a kid?

[Speaker 2] Just a toe! What about you? Have you ever broken a bone?

[Speaker 1] Yes, and my weight made it harder to get around.  I am joining a gym soon!

[Speaker 2] Oh, sorry to hear about the bone, but glad to hear about the gym! It's important to find something that you can enjoy.

[Speaker 1] Yes.  I'd like to take a dance class.  Do you work out?

[Speaker 2] Not really, just what I can get in during everyday life. If the weather isn't terrible, I walk into work. That's a little over 3 miles round trip. I enjoy spending the time outside and lately, a lot of houses have left up some Christmas lights, so those are nice to look at in the evening.

[Speaker 1] That sounds so cozy.  Every little bit of activity helps.  Fresh air, too.

[Speaker 2] I agree. Do you enjoy dancing? What type of music do you like to listen to?

[Speaker 1] I love dancing, I used to take ballet as a young girl.  I really like Pop music, easy to dance to.

[Speaker 2] That's the truth! I am self-conscious dancing in public, but I like to listen to music at home. I like all different kinds.

I have broken a bone in the past. I am joining a gym. I am overweight.

I want to take a dance class. I love dancing. I used to take ballet as a young girl.  I really like Pop music.

I am a widow. My husband died young.

I have a broken arm. I am in a cast. I broke a toe as a kid.

I do not work out. I walk into work on occasion. I enjoy spending the time outside.

I like to listen to all kinds of music at home.

[Speaker 1] I joined the gym and starting dancing through a class.

[Speaker 2] That's great. What dance style is it?

[Speaker 1] It's a cardio dance workout class, they do a lot of different styles! It's mostly just a fun way to work out.

[Speaker 2] Sounds good fun. Let me know how it goes. What are you doing this weekend?

[Speaker 1] Probably mostly household chores, maybe relax with a movie or two after I go to the gym. How about you?

[Speaker 2] Cool, I did my housework this morning. I think I might potter in the garden this afternoon. What are you thinking of watching?

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure, I think I'll just flip through til something catches my interest. Do you have any suggestions?

[Speaker 2] I'm not sure, what genres do you like?

[Speaker 1] I like action and crime type movies mostly.

I have broken a bone in the past. I am overweight.

I joined a gym and started dancing. It's a cardio dance workout.

I mostly do household chores on the weekend. I like to watch movies. I like action and crime movies.

I am a widow. My husband died young.

I do my housework in the morning. I have a garden.

[Speaker 1] I've been thinking of starting a garden. Do you have any advice?

[Speaker 2] Don't try to plant the whole world all at once. Take care of one seed at a time, and it will blossom wonderfully.

[Speaker 1] That is lovely advice. Is there any sort of vegetable that thrives in high sun?

[Speaker 2] Oh, I am sure there is, but I am still learning myself. Gardening is more of a therapeutic hobby of mine. Do you have any such hobby?

[Speaker 1] I think dancing may be that for me! But you have got me thinking that a garden will be nice too. I was thinking vegetables, but maybe I will start with flowers.

[Speaker 2] I started with watermelons, but later found out that flowers are much easier to tend to for beginners. What's your favorite flower?

[Speaker 1] Watermelons sound ambitious! I love peonies.

[Speaker 2] Ambition is my middle name haha. Peonies would be a great way to start a garden. That way you would be working on something you love.

[Speaker 1] And they are so lovely to behold. Hahaha maybe I should just get a peony tattoo instead of starting a garden.

[Speaker 2] Ouch that sounds so much more painful. I thought you were looking for something relaxing?

[Speaker 1] I think this cardio dance class has made me want to take on EVERYTHING! I never knew how much stamina I had!

[Speaker 2] Yes, that's the spirit! The world has so much to offer. If I weren't so clumsy, I'd join a class with you.

I work at a place that cleans cars and I'm not a fan.

[Speaker 1] Hi, a man sees one thing, a blind man sees many things

[Speaker 2] Wow, that's deep. Sounds like it could come from a country song.

[Speaker 1] Well I bet you like to travel

[Speaker 2] I do, but I have a really crummy job working at scrub way

[Speaker 1] I will get you a better paying job

[Speaker 2] Well, I go to college, so I am hoping I can land one

[Speaker 1] No I can make you a millionaire without college

[Speaker 2] How? I love country music, but I can't sing, and video games will not cut it either

[Speaker 1] You sell people things that they need to feel better. Strong stuff.

[Speaker 2] Hmm. I do not know what to respond to that

[Speaker 1] Are you opposed to selling people cupcakes? You confused about that?

[Speaker 2] No, that sounds like my dram job

[Speaker 1] Ok, what were you thinking you wanted your starting salary to be?

[Speaker 2] That's really your choice. What do you usually start at?

[Speaker 1] Ok, 1 million per year.

[Speaker 2] Wow! That is just starting. I'll take it!

I enjoy traveling. I have a crummy job at scrubway.

I go to college.

I love country music. I can't sing. I play video games.

[Speaker 1] Are you still planning to continue with college?

[Speaker 2] Yes I plan to finish in two years.

[Speaker 1] That is good. What are you studying? You must be really busy with going to college and working.

[Speaker 2] I am studying accounting. I keep very busy.

[Speaker 1] That is good. Sorry if I am bothering you. I just wanted to check on you. You seemed really stressed out when we talked earlier.

[Speaker 2] Oh you are no bother. I do appreciate you checking in on me. You are a very good friend.

[Speaker 1] Thank you. You have also been a good friend to me. I am glad you are good. I am always here for you and can talk to me about anything. How was job today? Any better?

[Speaker 2] It was busy but not as stressful. How have you been?

[Speaker 1] That is some progress. Glad it wasn't too bad. I have been ok. Things have been pretty chaotic, but all is good. I am leaving soon to go meet a friend for drinks.

[Speaker 2] Oh that sounds really nice. I usually just stay home and drink on my free time. Drinks and video games is how I wind down.

[Speaker 1] That is a great way to unwind. Staying home and drinking is fun, too. But I have been home all week so far, and am in the mood to get out.

[Speaker 2] I completely understand. Do you have any other plans this week?

I want to get out of the house.

I love country music. I can't sing.

I drink and play video games to relax.

[Speaker 1] What did you have to drink?

[Speaker 2] I made Mojito's to drink today. They are one of my favorite drinks. Do you want to get out of the house and visit me? We could make some mixed drinks.

[Speaker 1] Cool. I would love you! I know how good you are with mixing drinks haha! What are you up to today?

[Speaker 2] I'm just planning to relax and play video games all day. I just got a new video card for my computer to play video games with. Any games you really like? We could get it and play it together while we drink.

[Speaker 1] Oh man it reminds me of my college days. I played video games all the time with a couple of roommates. After exams, we would drink and play game and drink until you get tired of drinking or playing haha. What do you say to Call of Duty?

[Speaker 2] Call of Duty sounds a bunch of fun. We could play Nazi Zombies. That is always my favorite game mode. What mixed drink is your favorite? I have most of the things I would need to make a bunch of drinks.

[Speaker 1] I will brink some vodka if you have some soda? Or we could use your fancy martini recipe. By the way how's your college? Is it getting easier or tougher?

[Speaker 2] I have plenty of Soda. College is going great! I actually really enjoy my program even though its getting a bit harder. I think the fact that I like it so much is what makes me motivated despite the difficulty. I think that's why I like spending my spare time playing video games because it relaxes me.

[Speaker 1] Good for you. I forgot what you were studying but it sounds like you are enjoying it. They say no pain no gain in sports. I guess the same applies to academics

[Speaker 2] I've been studying economics and everything is becoming very technical as of recent. Only two more years though! Then, I'll be in the workforce like you.

[Speaker 1] You are studying a hard subject indeed. Math is not my favorite thing and I probably couldn't sit through any of the classes you are in now haha

[Speaker 2] Well, I'm going to keep at it and stay diligent so I can get a good job. Come on over whenever you get a chance and I'll download the newest Call of Duty in the meantime.

I want to get out of the house.

In college, I would play video games a lot with my roommates. After exams, we would drink and play video games. I like Call of Duty.

I have a job. I do not like math.

I love country music. I can't sing.

I'm finishing college in 2 years. I study accounting at college. I enjoy my program. I'm studying economics.

I like alcohol. Mojitos are my favorite drink. I am good at mixing drinks.

I play video games. I just got a new video card for my computer for video games. I like Call of Duty. Nazi Zombies is my favorite game mode.

[Speaker 1] I did a little shopping and grabbed some ingredients for drinks. We are going to have a fun time!

[Speaker 2] Oh yes! I cannot wait! What kind of drinks are you going to make?

[Speaker 1] I got everything we need for margaritas and mojitos!  Even got the salt for the rims of the margaritas.  My roommate is a bartender and showed me how to make them right.

[Speaker 2] Yes! I am so excited! Tell me we're going to have lime and strawberry margaritas!

[Speaker 1] Well, I have some limes, and I definitely have the strawberry mix for them.  It is fun trying to play Call of Duty while drinking.  Have you ever done it before?

[Speaker 2] Oh yes! All the time! Nothing better than a night out in college at the bars, then you come home play some dutry and drink some brew.

[Speaker 1] Agreed.  Do you have any roommates to play with or are you playing solo?

[Speaker 2] I live alone, but a lot of my friends from backhome play online, so that is a way we always stay in touch.

[Speaker 1] That is a good way to stay in touch and still have some fun.  I am not able to play online currently.  We lost our internet connection due to my roommate not paying the bill.

[Speaker 2] Ugh that stinks, but at the very least you two can play together in the same room, so that is still fun. Plus while drinking margaritas!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, but it is a problem when there are 3 or more of us that want to play.

[Speaker 2] That is very true! but hey create a rule the person who has to sit out is the one that gets to drink the most!

[Speaker 1] I am trying to start a band that will play locally

[Speaker 2] That's is awesome. I am going to school at umass for philosophy.

[Speaker 1] That is nice. I like learning. I learned to play piano when I was six

[Speaker 2] Oh snap. I taught my self to eat an only vegan diet.

[Speaker 1] Wow, I eat a vegan diet too. What else you do like?

[Speaker 2] I am totally inked up, including an angel tattoo, it my favorite.

[Speaker 1] I've a guitar tattoo because I own nine of them

[Speaker 2] No not according to this.

I am a vegan.

I am starting a band.

I play the piano.

I have a guitar tattoo.  I own nine guitars.

I like the band System of a Down.

[Speaker 1] I found a drummer for my band.

[Speaker 2] Wow! How exciting! Did you search on Craigslist or was it word of mouth?

[Speaker 1] I decided to post a notice at some of the local colleges.  Had a few people call to audition.  This guy was the best although his music preferences are different than what I like

[Speaker 2] That's awesome. How many people showed up to the audition? Maybe his preferences in music genres will help your band evolve as well.

[Speaker 1] We had 7.  Ever heard "a little bit country, a little bit rock-n-roll?"  I think we're going to play around and see if we can make the two work.  How did you do on your exam the other day?

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a great mix. My exam went okay. I didn't do my best, but I definitely passed.

[Speaker 1] Congrats!  I know you were nervous about it.  Maybe you can find a study group for next time.  Did you have a chance to check out that new restaurant I told you about?  Their Buddha bowl is delicious.

[Speaker 2] I haven't had a chance to go in person yet, but I did order them on Uber Eats. It was so so good! Thanks for the recommendation.

[Speaker 1] No problem.  I try to spread the word on mom & pop shops in the area.  I saw your school is hosting a concert for some local bands.  You planning on going?

[Speaker 2] I am! I already got my tickets. Are you going to come? It should be a lot of fun.

[Speaker 1] I had band practice scheduled for that day but maybe I'll change it and consider this "research."  Do you remember how much tickets are?

[Speaker 2] They were 15 dollars each during presale. I think they are 20 now. That's a great excuse, might as well bring the whole band and reschedule the band practice!

I am a vegan.

I am starting a band and I don't play the drums. I play the piano.

I like the band System of a Down.

I found a drummer for my band. I found him through a notice on a local college but don't care for his music preferences.

I'll try to make it work with this drummer despite our differences.

I like supporting local business.

[Speaker 1] We had practice as a band and I think this whole music genre mix is going to work.

[Speaker 2] What genres are you combining?

[Speaker 1] The band is combining metal with elements of EDM and otherwise synthesizers.

[Speaker 2] That sounds really cool!  Do you have any plans for any upcoming gigs?

[Speaker 1] We're mostly practicing right now, as we just got a drummer to play for us recently. We'll probably start small, like a local club or something.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense.  Will you be playing piano or guitar with the band?

[Speaker 1] I will play either depending on the song, as I am pretty good with both instruments. I think I might lean more into the guitar as I feel I am better at it than the piano.

[Speaker 2] Given your large collection of guitars, I'm not surprised!

[Speaker 1] I guess so, although my guitar collection is mostly because I enjoy collecting different types of guitars as decorative pieces. I only really use one or two to play music.

[Speaker 2] I don't know much about the different types of guitars.  Can you tell me a bit about the different kinds of guitars you own?

[Speaker 1] Its mostly guitars from different brands, but they differ in the materials used to make them. For example, one of them has a wooden base, with a top layer that is a synthethic resin. They also differ in the material used for the guitarstring, I prefer the one with silver-plater copper strings.

[Speaker 2] Does the guitar sound change depending on the material its made from?

I am a vegan.

I like the band System of a Down.

I like supporting local business.

I am starting a band and I don't play the drums. My band plays metal with EDM and synthesizers.

I am pretty good at playing piano and guitar. I am better at guitar.

I have a large collection of guitars I decorate with. I only play one or two. I have guitars from different brands and made of different materials.  I prefer a guitar with silver-plated copper strings.

I like music.
I am studying philosophy at UMass.
I am a vegan.
I have tatoos.
I have brown eyes.
I like the band System of a Down.
I don't know a lot about guitars.

[Speaker 1] Would you like to learn more about guitars? You can come over and I can show you how to play them.

[Speaker 2] That would be wonderful. I am free this weekend if you have time.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I'm sure I'll have some time this weekend. We can start with an acoustic guitar to show you some basics. Have you ever played any other musical instruments?

[Speaker 2] I have a little experience with the piano, but it has been a long time.

[Speaker 1] Well, that will be helpful. Piano is kind of the starting instrument for a lot of people. Do you remember the musical staff and how to read notes?

[Speaker 2] No. I was never good at reading music. It is like greek to me!

[Speaker 1] Well, then we will have to work on that too. Do you remember the acronym Every Good Boy Does Fine? The beginning letters are the notes on the scale lines, startine at the bottom--so E, G, B, D, F.

[Speaker 2] That rings a bell. Wow , that is really taking me back in time!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, most people learn that right at the beginning of any instrument. The other one is FACE, for the spaces in between the lines on the staff. Again, starting at the bottom, so notes F, A, C, and E.

[Speaker 2] You sure do know your stuff. I feel confident that you will be able to help me!

[Speaker 1] Yes, I'm sure I can. We'll probably start out with some review on the piano, since you've previosuly learned a bit on it. Once things start coming back to you a bit, that will make the guitar easier to learn.

[Speaker 2] Great! This sounds like a super plan!


I love going shopping at nice stores.

Girls call my phone all day long.

I love it when it is dark out not light out.

I was a college athlete.

I need to be employed.

I do not like reading scientific information.

My father handles packages for a living.

Wild horses as possessions isn't a good idea.

The hue I most admire is plum.

[Speaker 1] Hello how are you today?

[Speaker 2] Excellent. Hope you are well.

[Speaker 1] I'm, right now I have another woman calling me on my cell phone

[Speaker 2] Busy person huh? That's not a bad thing.

[Speaker 1] No just a lady man

[Speaker 2] Nice. I am currently on the hunt for a job.

[Speaker 1] That's cool ladies love a man with a job

[Speaker 2] True story. I had a lot of them when I owned my mustangs.

[Speaker 1] I can understand why mustangs are awesome

[Speaker 2] I'm more of a chevy person, but they got me by.

[Speaker 1] Have you ever played basketball?

[Speaker 2] I played growing up. Have about thirty trophies.

[Speaker 1] That is cool I was offered to play basketball professionally

[Speaker 2] Good! I wish I would have when the scouts tried to get me.


I am someone who works from my bedroom correcting writing.

I love animals.

I love being a parent.
I enjoy jogging.
Desert is my favorite type of food.
I've a long commute.

[Speaker 1] Hey how is everything. Nice to take a break from editing.

[Speaker 2] Nice to take a break also I drive 300 miles for work

[Speaker 1] That's quite a compute. Where do you work?

[Speaker 2] At a school I love kids I've 3

[Speaker 1] Nice, I do not have kids but I have my cat lol

[Speaker 2] That's great I love cats, do you work out?

[Speaker 1] I do but my gym is far away. Hope to move closer.

[Speaker 2] Oh okay I love to run I don't go to the gym much

[Speaker 1] I'd love to get out and run as well but facing the traffic makes me anxious.

[Speaker 2] Yes it is a lot what is your favorite desert?

[Speaker 1] I love ice cream. My dad and brother often often debate on what to buy at home.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great I also like ice cream


I sell miscelaneous stuff in local fairs.

So I started a small business.

I recently graduated from college.

It s been doing better than I expected.

I'ven t had luck with finding a job.

I am former military.
I drive a truck for a living.
I exercise 4 times a week.
I recently bought a camper.

I am an arts and crafts person.
I am my own boss.
I've just completed my education.
The outcome is good.
I can not seem to gain employment.

I used to be enlisted in the army.
I am a professional freight driver.
I have a gym membership.
A few months ago, I purchased an rv.

[Speaker 1] Hello. I just got back from the fair. Have you ever been?

[Speaker 2] I'm good. I just got out of the military.

[Speaker 1] Congratulations! I just graduated with a ba.

[Speaker 2] You got your ba and I drive a truck everyday. Oh joy.

[Speaker 1] I have not found a job yet though. I sell things at fairs.

[Speaker 2] I just bought a camper. What do you sell?

[Speaker 1] I just surf the local yard sales and then bring in the lot each week.

[Speaker 2] Time consuming? I workout 4 times a week so I've no time.

[Speaker 1] Yes, it can take a lot of time. It must feel good to workout after driving.

[Speaker 2] I workout in the truck. I travel with my gym equipment.

[Speaker 1] I have a jillian michaels pulley trainer. I love it.

[Speaker 2] Who in the world is jillian michaels?

[Speaker 1] She's a famous trainer. Smart and pretty, too.

[Speaker 2] Oh yea!! From the biggest loser?

[Speaker 1] Yes that's her. I just imagine her yelling at me to get busy and it works

[Speaker 2] I am going to buy her video. I need the motivation.

I just graduated with a BA.

I sell things at fairs. I don't have a job yet.

I go to local yard sales.

I was in the Military.

I drive a truck for a living.

I have a camper.

I exercise 4 times a week with my own gym equipment in my truck.

[Speaker 1] Do you think you might use your camper in the near future to camp somewhere nice for a few nights?

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah. I am going to go camping in the wilderness when it warms up a little bit. But, I already travel all over so I want to camp for some peace and quiet.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, there's definitely something peaceful about camping, as long as the campsites are spaced far enough out. Where's your favorite place to travel?

[Speaker 2] I like going to go the scenic way on my truck driving routes. No specific place. Do you travel much?

[Speaker 1] A few years ago, I drove from Florida to California to visit some friends. I took in a lot of the sights along the way. But I haven't had much chance to do that again, because of college.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I get that. But, since you graduated, have you had any luck on your job hunt?

[Speaker 1] I've got an interview at a video game company, actually. I'd really like to get in with them, because gaming is such a huge industry. Plus there's a culture there I enjoy. Are you still planning on driving a truck for awhile longer?

[Speaker 2] Yes, probably for some time since it does pay good. I live in my truck basically. It's really accessorized to suit my life. But, I still keep it healthy and have gotten really buff from working out.

[Speaker 1] How much space do you have to workout inside your cab though?

[Speaker 2] Well, I have the kind I can use in my trailer rig. And I can take my equipment out and use it outdoors. I make it work. I'm sure you've seen how versatile gym equipment can be in your trips to fairs and yard sales.

[Speaker 1] Oh, okay, that makes more sense. I was thinking that you had a full weight bench somehow wedged in your sleeper compartment or something. I was a little confused!

[Speaker 2] I do use some inside, but mainly to work on my arms. The smaller gym equipment.

I just graduated with a BA.

I sell things at fairs.

I go to local yard sales.

I drove from Florida to California when I was in college.

I was in the Military.

I drive a truck for a living. I basically live in my truck.

I have a camper.

[Speaker 1] Im preparing for my interview and need help

[Speaker 2] What do you need help with?

[Speaker 1] I don't know what kind of things i should bring with me to my interview. I do not have any experience with interviews and i do not want to mess it up.

[Speaker 2] A couple of copies of your resume in case they don't have it with them, a notepad and pen to take any notes for yourself about the job. Maybe copies or any certificates if they're relevant.

[Speaker 1] Thank you. I was also wondering if i would be able to put your information down, as my reference, in case they ask me for one.

[Speaker 2] Well, I mean I haven't worked with you, but sure if you don't have anyone that you've worked with I can do it.

[Speaker 1] I really appreciate that. I haven't had an official job before, so i have heard that i can get a personal reference from someone i know. It would be really helpful. If you wanted, i could keep you company with camping the next time you go, as a thank you.

[Speaker 2] That would be fun, do you like camping?

[Speaker 1] I haven't really been camping. When i drove from Florida to California, i slept a lot in my car. I imagine that it is pretty similar, right?

[Speaker 2] it's similar but not as much fun

[Speaker 1] Well, i had a ton of fun. So if camping is more fun than that, i am super excited to join you as soon as you go again! Do you have any current plans to going yet?

[Speaker 2] Nothing in stone yet, but I have been planning out some spots that I'd like to visit

I just graduated with a BA.

I sell things at fairs.

I go to local yard sales.

I don't have a job yet. I am actively looking for a job. I have an interview with a video game company. I do not have any experience with interviews. I would like to use you as a personal reference.

I haven't had a job before.

I haven't really been camping. When I drove from Florida to California, I slept a lot in my car.

I had fun sleeping in my car.

I was in the Military.

I have a camper.

I travel all over. I am going camping in the wilderness when its warm. There are some camping spots I'd like to visit.

[Speaker 1] So, I had my interview. I was so nervous! They contacted me back today.

[Speaker 2] That's great! A good sign that you're on the shortlist for a job there.

[Speaker 1] I sure hope so, hey I have a question. You are camping all over in the wilderness do you ever hear any weird noises at night? I'm very interested in big foot and I've been listening to podcasts about it lately and some of these witness testimonies I've heard are quiet compelling. I'm just curious as to your take on it.

[Speaker 2] Big Foot? Wasn't Big Foot in The X-Files? And The Six Million Dollar Man? Is Big Foot real?

[Speaker 1] I don't know if it's real or not, you're the one out in the wild camping all the time which is why I was asking if you've seen or heard anything weird that you couldn't explain. I haven't done a lot of camping but maybe I will start doing some in the future like I said I am really interested in this subject.

[Speaker 2] Never seen anything so weird while camping that couldn't be explained as human behavior. Or wild animals. Then again, I never went camping with the explicit purpose of uncovering the uncanny.

[Speaker 1] Makes sense, anyways I was just curious I probably sound crazy but that's alright. You mentioned earlier maybe I was put on a short list for that job I applied for, I sure hope so. I am ready to get my career rolling and put the pedal to the metal when it comes to making money. Working for a video game company would be amazing and hopefully a lot of fun.

[Speaker 2] Ah, video games. Your dream job? From the outside looking in, it seems great. But from the inside, I wonder if it's the same.

[Speaker 1] I'm sure it's a lot of hard work and long hours but the thought of creating exciting worlds that people enjoy and can interact with would actually be a dream come true. Just the thought of creating something like that really gets me excited.

[Speaker 2] That's great. I have a friend who got into the film business. She found that watching movies and making movies were two diferent things.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I can see how that would be true. How about you? Are you enjoying your job driving a truck? I'm not sure I could do that, I think I'd end up falling asleep on the road. When I drive for long distances the road hypnotizes me in a way and makes me sleepy.

[Speaker 2] It's not exciting, but it is predictable. I know how long a trip is going to be. I know where to stop for a meal, and the names of all the waitresses, especially the cute ones.


My dad calls me frankie.

I like to exercise both the mind and body.

My work is in leadership at safeway.

I would love to be a professional.

I enjoy viewing cinematic performances on a box at home.

I wish I had a higher salary.

Pasta is my favorite meal.

I can watch tv for hours.

I work with automobiles.

[Speaker 1] Hello, I am frank. How are you today

[Speaker 2] Hello, frank. I am art. Tell me something interesting about yourself.

[Speaker 1] I love to read and cycle, and my goal is to be in a professional competition

[Speaker 2] Very exciting. I like to watch tv and sit on the couch. Pretty boring.

[Speaker 1] Lol well I manage a grocery store, talk about boring

[Speaker 2] Does your store sell mac and cheese? Because that is the food I love most.

[Speaker 1] Yes we have tons, have you tried the cracker barrel kind

[Speaker 2] Yes, I love that kind so much that I spent my whole 30, 000 salary on it.

[Speaker 1] Wow that is serious attachment! It is good though. I like the white cheddar

[Speaker 2] It is the only food that gives me energy to make cars.

[Speaker 1] What kind of cars do you make

[Speaker 2] Race cars. I'm developing a car that will run off mac and cheese though.

[Speaker 1] That will be fascinating, must it be cracker barrel? Seems so wasteful

[Speaker 2] Cracker barrel type has superior molecular structure. They pack an extra carbon in there.


Currently, I m saving up to get some procedures done.

I love her though.

I enjoy dressing up to go out clubbing.

I hope to one day be happy with myself.

I like playing out of the house.
I like magenta.

[Speaker 1] I have an upcoming surgery that I have been saving up for, can you help me out

[Speaker 2] I am sorry, that'sn't something I can do currently.

[Speaker 1] That is okay I just want to be happy, and I feel like the surgery will help

[Speaker 2] I really hope you get your surgery. I enjoy swimming, would that help?

[Speaker 1] I do not think so I do like dressing up to go to the clubs.

[Speaker 2] Dressing up in fun! My favorite color is pink. Pink shoes and dresses.

[Speaker 1] My girlfriends favorite color is pink! I love her so much!

[Speaker 2] My favorite singing artist is britney spears, so I guess it fits my personality!

[Speaker 1] Haha totally! I love dancing to britney spears songs!

[Speaker 2] Yes! Dancing outside makes it even better. I love being outdoors!

[Speaker 1] I do too but I want to have surgery before I really spend too much time outdoors

[Speaker 2] That makes sense. What else do you enjoy? I really enjoy a bowl of pasta.

[Speaker 1] I do like to eat but I am also trying to lose weight

[Speaker 2] I bet needing a surgery makes it hard to exercise as well.

I don't have enough money for the surgery that I need.

I like going to clubs.  I like dressing up.

I have a girlfriend.

I like being outdoors.

I'm trying to lose weight.

I like swimming.

I like pink. I like wearing pink shoes and dresses.

My favorite singer is britney spears.

I like being outdoors.

I like pasta.

[Speaker 1] I finally got my paycheck and have enough money to pay for the surgery.

[Speaker 2] That is great. When will you be having the surgery?

[Speaker 1] It is scheduled out for two months from now. It's kind of far, so it will be hard not too think about it too much. But it does give me time to lose some weight for the surgery.

[Speaker 2] How long will recovery take?

[Speaker 1] I think the stay in the hospital is around 3-5 days, and then they say recovery is 2-4 weeks. It will be hard not working for that long, because I really need the money.

[Speaker 2] Is there someone who can help you with your bills while you recover? Hopefully you can spend some time outdoors and enjoy the weather.

[Speaker 1] Not really right now. I wish I had a rich uncle or something :) Yeah, I've been finding good hikes in the area that I haven't tried out yet. What do you like to do outdoors?

[Speaker 2] I like to to bike the trails. There is one by me that is a sixty mile long loop and I hope to be able to complete the entire loop with friends this summer. Right now we park a car at the the end of our ride and someone drives back to the beginning and we start. Do you like to bike

[Speaker 1] Wow! That sounds like quite a feat! That will feel good to achieve that goal. I've got biking a couple times, but I think the trails were just too hard for me. I had to get off and walk too many times. I just didn't want to biff it too hard.

[Speaker 2] The ultimate goal is to enter a team ride and do 200 miles as a team. Somedays I think I should devote more time to swimming.

[Speaker 1] That would be such an adventure. It sounds like you have a lot of friends who are also into biking. Do you also enjoy running? It sounds like you would be a good candidate for doing a triathlon or ironman.

[Speaker 2] Running isn't my thing - too hard on the knees. Does your girlfriend hike with you?

I have a girlfriend.

I like being outdoors. I go hiking. I do not bike much.

I will be in the hospital. I need money.

I like swimming.

My favorite singer is britney spears.

I like being outdoors. I like to bike.I do not like running.

I like pasta.

[Speaker 1] I have great news! I found a few friends who are able to help cover some of my bills after my surgery!

[Speaker 2] Oh dear, poor you having to pay hospital bills. I'm glad your friends are supporting you financially.

[Speaker 1] And life will be a lot easier after the surgery! I'm excited to get it behind me. What have you been up to?

[Speaker 2] I've been swimming, the outdoor pool near me has opened for spring. It's great.

[Speaker 1] Do you have a favorite stroke to swim? I learned the breast stroke when I was in high school and got okay at that.

[Speaker 2] I prefer the front crawl but the breast stroke is good too. Is swimming part of your physio for after surgery?

[Speaker 1] My doctors are recommending it. I haven't swum much since high school---but I do enjoy outdoor pools. They can just be hard to find.

[Speaker 2] You'll get the hang of it again I'm sure. What sort of recovery time are they giving from your surgery?

[Speaker 1] I'll send two weeks in the hospital, then the guess is six months to full recovery

[Speaker 2] Cool. Let me know, if I can bring you food.

[Speaker 1] That would be great. I'm going to miss getting to club and hike--especially since it's starting to get so beautiful outside.

[Speaker 2] Problem. It will be tough missing out on things. But maybe you can right a lists of things to do after your surgery.

I have a girlfriend.

I got my paycheck. I am having surgery in two months. I need to lose weight for the surgery. I need money. My surgery is elective. I'll be in the hospital and recovery for more than six months.

I know the breast stroke.

I swam in high school. I like outdoor pools. I like to hike. I like to club.

I like swimming.

My favorite singer is britney spears.

I like pasta.

I live near a pool and like to swim.

I know both the breast stroke and the front crawl.

I like to cook.

I like to hang out with my friends and do different things.

[Speaker 1] I made a good casserole and plan to share it with you next time I come over.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great! What is in it?

[Speaker 1] tuna, mushrooms, peas, and pasta! Does not sound great, but I promise it is!

[Speaker 2] I am sure it is great. When did you learn to cook?

[Speaker 1] Can't say I "learned" but I got some recipes online to try so I can make sure I am all stocked up before surgery. This is the only pasta dish, and I am more than happy to share with you!

[Speaker 2] I think that is learning. I know nothing about cooking. You have surgery coming up? Are you nervous?

[Speaker 1] I am very nervous! Thanks for asking. My friends have been so supportive, but I don't want them to feel like they have to do everything for me; hence, the cooking.

[Speaker 2] Smart. I had a surgery on my wrist once. I had a cyst develop and it started to affect my mobility so my doctor wanted to remove it. It was nerve racking but I am glad I went through it.

[Speaker 1] Oh my goodness! How was the recovery? Were you able to swim?

[Speaker 2] The recover went smoothly, and yes after two weeks I was back in the water. Well swimming in the water. I still went to the pool just didn't get it wet. I am sure your surgery will go just as well.

[Speaker 1] I hope so! I certainly will miss getting out on the trails for a while, but it should be worth it!

[Speaker 2] Outdoors is great. I bet you will be up an at 'em in no time. Do you still swim?

[Speaker 2] Oh no! Do you gamble at the casino or online?

[Speaker 1] At a casino.  There's something about the atmosphere that I love.  Free drinks are bad either.  Guess it's time to stay in for awhile and not spend money.  How did that movie turn out that you watched the other night?  Something I might like?

[Speaker 2] I watched a Spanish comedy, it was pretty funny. I needed something light to finish my week because I had a lot of stress at work. What movies have you enjoyed lately?

[Speaker 1] I tend to get bored with movies.  Plus I can't just idly sit.  I have to be up and moving or engaged in something.  My mom said it's nervous energy.  Long walks seem to help.  And cooking.  I made roasted chicken and veggies over the weekend.

[Speaker 2] Interesting! Well, at least there are a ton of interesting cooking shows on Netflix. I love the Chef's Table series. Do you ever watch any of those shows? They are shorter so you don't have to sit idly for so long and maybe they'll inspire you in your cooking!

[Speaker 1] No I haven't.  I'll have to check them out.  My cooking isn't the greatest.  Do they offer the recipes or is it more about cooking concepts?

[Speaker 2] Most of the shows are either cooking competitions or more documentary style about the lives of the chefs. They all make me so hungry! How did your roasted chicken and veggies turn out?

[Speaker 1] Not bad.  My veggies got a little crispy but they tasted ok.  I'll have to check out those shows.  At this point I can use all the help and inspiration I can get.  How did your dinner turn out?

[Speaker 2] I prepared a chicken cordon bleu. My family loves it and it's very easy to make... cheap, too! I made some basmati rice to go along with it and some sauteed veggies. Everyone enjoyed it. We played board games after.

[Speaker 1] That's sounds like a great night!  Would you share your recipe?  Which games did you play?

[Speaker 2] We played Risk and Settlers of Catan. I just grab thinly sliced chicken breast, sliced mozzarella and deli ham, roll it up with the chicken on the outside... then with a toothpick I out it together and then  I pass it through eggs and bread crumbs (like milanese) and put it in a skillet with oil.

I like hiking.

I do not want many movies but love gambling at a Casino.

I need to be on the move or engaged constantly to calm my nervous energy.

I love participating in marathons.

I like to stay at home. I love eating and I like cooking at home. I cook for my family. I have bad social anxiety.

My work can be quite stressful.

[Speaker 1] Which new dish did you cook for your family?

[Speaker 2] I made a pasta dish, with salmon and peas mixed into it. I found a recipe online and I tried it out.

[Speaker 1] Who did you serve it to and did they like it?

[Speaker 2] I served it to my husband and my son, they both really liked it. I was suprised by my son, they normally don't like eating green vegetables, but they really enjoyed the meal.

[Speaker 1] It sounds like a meal I would have liked. Maybe next time I can cook for you and have you and your family over for dinner.

[Speaker 2] That would be lovely. Is there any dish in particular you enjoy cooking, or even types of food that you like to cook?

[Speaker 1] Let's set up day. Since you like movies maybe we can watch one after dinner.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great, I think it might be good to try for the next weekend, my family should be available then. I think a movie sounds good, what type of movies do you like to watch?

[Speaker 1] I have been watching Bridgerton with my wife. More of a chick flick so you might like it. I have to admit I like it more than I thought at first.

[Speaker 2] Thats good to hear, its nice to find something you can watch with someone close to you. I like to watch horror movies, but my family usually prefers a comedy movie so I am fine watching one with them.

[Speaker 1] I have to admit I do not like horror movies but a new comedy would be fine.

[Speaker 2] Usually I end up watching horror movies with my friends when a new one arrives in theaters. A comedy movie would be great to watch after dinner, do you have an idea of a good one to watch?

I like Bridgerton. I have a wife.

[Speaker 1] Have you ever considered opening a restaurant?

[Speaker 2] I have thought about it but the competition is fierce. Maybe you and I can team up to open a restaurant lol

[Speaker 1] Haha I am not sure my cooking will be up to the challenge, but I can be your guinea pig on new dishes! Have you ever applied to be on one of those cooking shows?

[Speaker 2] I applied for Chef's table, but haven't gotten on yet. I'm going to keep trying. Do you think I should keep trying?

[Speaker 1] Well, I do...but I have a bit of a surprise for you. I wanted to test the waters about opening a restaurant... I submitted you for the show and told them you owned a restaurant and you have been accepted. They are going to do a whole feature on each contestant and their restaurant, sooooo

[Speaker 2] Holy crap! I can't believe it. You aren't joking with me are you?

[Speaker 1] I am really not. I think I was high from a big gambling win and made a whole video out your cooking and everything!

[Speaker 2] That's awesome. I never dreamed this would happen. You are the best! Now... you have to help me prepare.

[Speaker 1] I guess the first think you need is the restaurant itself! I researched few listings. Check your email and let me know what you think!

[Speaker 2] I will. How soon will I be on the show?

[Speaker 1] The crew is coming into town next Thursday, so we will need to have what looks like an established restaurant by then.

[Speaker 2] That's quick. This should be fun because we don't have time to get nervous about it.

[Speaker 1] How are your many children? Have you eaten anything good in the last few days?

[Speaker 2] The kids are doing fine, thanks. We all went to a hog roast at the weekend, it was great!

[Speaker 1] Wow! Where exactly was that? And do you mean you went there with all your 8 kids and wife?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it was a big gathering at the local community center - they always have one around Groundhog Day.

[Speaker 1] That is impressive! That means it will be grand. What about the children, did they enjoy it too?

[Speaker 2] They loved it! It was great to all go somewhere together after the really cold winter. And the pork was lovely!

[Speaker 1] I relish the experience. I would love to have such with my family too. You are a good parent.

[Speaker 2] Thanks, I try my best. So, how is your cooking going? I bet you could make something just as tasty!

[Speaker 1] It is going well. Obviously, I wish you visit me one day so I can entertain you

[Speaker 2] That would be great. Are you sure you can cook for all ten of us? My youngest ones eat at lot! :-)

[Speaker 1] Yes. I can do that, in fact, I have cooked for three families before during a gathering.

I live in an area with distinct seasons.

[Speaker 1] How are your kids doing?  I know it is a lot of work to keep up with so many.

[Speaker 2] They've been a handful. It's gotten easier as spring has started and they can get outside and play more. How large is your family?

[Speaker 1] My family includes 2 girls and 1 boy, then my husband and me. 3 kids is a handful and I like them going outside to play and tire themselves out. Have the kids tried to put on a talent show yet?

[Speaker 2] They haven't done any talent shows. Occassionally the older ones will put together a puppet show for the younger ones. We have quite the collection of sock puppets.

[Speaker 1] I forgot kids can put on puppet shows. I remember our library putting on puppet shows for the kids years ago, but since the kids grew up I have not gone back to see if they still do it. Have their made all their puppets?

[Speaker 2] We have an old set we bought years ago, but now they make post of them. We cut up a big refrigerator box to make a stage. It's pretty cute

[Speaker 1] I will have to try that with the older kids. Thank you for that wonderful idea, I appreciate it! Have you grilled some pork lately?

[Speaker 2] We're planning a big cookout for next weekend so I will be soon! How do you prefer your pork cooked?

[Speaker 1] As long as it is seasoned good, I can enjoy it anyway. I plan on having a carne asada BBQ tomorrow afternoon, and want to make jalapeno poppers.

[Speaker 2] That sounds wonderful. I've never made jalapeno poppers. Are they complicated?

[Speaker 1] No, you just clean out the jalapeno then stuff it with cream cheese. I then wrap bacon around it and put a stick through it so that it stays put. I heard you can drizzle honey after it is done cooking to give it that honey bacon taste, but I have yet to try it.

[Speaker 2] The honey sounds like a really nice touch. How did you learn to cook?

I like to cook. I enjoy carne asada.
