hello
hello
hi my name is Leslie
hi Leslie i'm Carol
hi Carol where you from
uh Plano Texas
oh you're kidding so am i
oh well we're right here in town then maybe we know each other
yeah you're not from choir are you
uh oh
Leslie who
Leslie French
okay what choir are you from
uh Christ United Methodist
well of course i'm the little short one that sits on the end by Judy Dillon
oh okay i'm in the soprano parts
you're a soprano well i well we can chitchat easily without any sweat then
yeah
what a hoot i i'd forgotten about this thing i have been so bad oh good
well i have too i have too and i
obviously it's working now i should
oh i guess so i've only had uh one other chance at this thing and
i will do better
well okay Leslie what are we gonna discuss Leslie
we're supposed to discuss food and cooking
fine
and uh did it describe it to you at all
well it i was hunting for all of my stuff and every time i pressed a button they were already talking by the time my phone clicked back in
yeah
i have a cordless phone that doesn't do well
okay well and it says uh which foods would you recommend for uh a menu for a dinner party
and then maybe we can share a recipe with what they kind of what it kind of said
great we can do that i don't care what you serve i'll let you go first you're in charge of the call you ready to press one
uh yeah
okay let
i'm pressing one right now okay
go
okay well i was thinking about if i did a dinner party right now i'd do a Mexican Mexican fare of sorts because that's about the only thing i'm creative at and uh
what kind of things would you put on it
well for appetizers i'd start with the you know the typical cheese nachos and uh melt the cheese over the chips and uh put some green pepper or i mean chili peppers on top of that for those who like it hot
and then another good good um recipe for appetizers is uh bean dip i don't know if you've ever done that but you put just the uh refried beans and then a layer of uh
um-hum
of sour cream
oh that seven layer dip
well it doesn't really have seven layers mine doesn't anyway and then i put like a layer of cheese and then some salsa on top of everything and then you just use it for dipping your chip into and
okay
okay you
that's a wonderful recipe
yeah it's real good and then a
what would you use for your main course
probably go with fajitas
oh yeah
uh season up some good chicken and beef and chop up a whole bunch of things so that they could kind of pick and choose what they like and
that's an easy way to please everybody
yeah yeah
that way if there's something that they don't want then they can just simply leave it off on their own
that's right
that's a good idea
so i haven't done many dinner parties though lately i've just been uh
well i'm a very casual informal person so most of my quote dinner parties
um-hum
would probably be very laid back we'd probably do ribs or chicken or
something like that on the grill put with corn on the cob and maybe a tossed salad fresh fruit that type of a thing
yeah
um-hum
i'm a i'm a lover of paper plates in the summer time and disposable plastic forks throw them away for an easy cleanup
yeah
uh-huh uh-huh
so i
i'm afraid i'm not a real fancy sit down kind of use your best china
oh
dinner party kind
yeah that's me too
in fact we don't even have our dining table yet so i guess we've been pretty casual for most of everything so
well my life is kind of casual so my dinner parties would be also
well speaking of dinner parties are we still doing this uh um
well what's a good potluck for eight to ten people what do you
yeah we
you know what i was planning on doing i didn't know if it was needed but was a salad
i mean that's i didn't know if it had to be a casserole of sorts
it can be anything
okay
it can be anything i i may just bring fresh fruit because i know everybody will eat that even though it's not
okay
you know someone'll bring a meat
yeah yeah
if not
we go meatless i don't care yeah we don't we don't we eat too meach too much meat at dinner parties anyhow
that's right yeah it's kind a
yeah yeah well that's that's my my love of if i'm not going to have a full meal is to make sure i get a good salad in there and a good you know thing of fruit and that that'll satisfy most anybody so
i think they always go over well
yeah okay how long we supposed to talk on this about three minutes i hope
i think we've probably discussed all they need to discuss
yeah okay well then if we're done it's all we do is just say good-bye right well
okay i've enjoyed talking to you and i if i have a Mexican dinner at anytime i'll do i think i'll run your yours by and have fajitas and bean dip and the whole nine yards
yeah i'll get
yeah yeah sounds good nice talking to you bye-bye
okay i've enjoyed talking to you bye
