[speaker001:] now then what is your idea on what to serve for a dinner party
[speaker002:] um I don't know I I I personally don't throw a lot of dinner parties per se um
[speaker001:] well if you were just gonna have company what would
[speaker002:] um generally if I'm gonna have company something fairly easy for me to fix you know nobody wants to go to too much work um probably say it you know if it's more than say four or five people probably a like a a a fish dish or something or or a a pasta pasta dish
[speaker001:] well what kind of pasta what pasta dishes what is your specialty in pasta
[speaker002:] um generally uh the homemade pasta the wide whatever they call that stuff the wider homemade pastas
[speaker001:] do you yeah do you make your own
[speaker002:] yes
[speaker001:] ooh that must be interesting
[speaker002:] yeah it uh it's fairly easy you just make the dough in the old Cuisinart and roll it out and there's there's a we've got a special machine that you you roll it out and then it cuts it also and hang it over the drying rack
[speaker001:] okay do you ever um since we're coming into the holiday season do you ever do desserts
[speaker002:] um actually about the only dessert I I generally fix is some form of pie or a buttermilk pound cake I those the only kind of desserts I really like messing with anything anything more difficult than that is is generally a pain to me I I just don't like to take that much time and stand around and do it
[speaker001:] do you um do you care for the fruitcake
[speaker002:] no
[speaker001:] not at all
[speaker002:] I I I can I I can stand about a piece a year one piece of it a year but I I don't like to just eat it it's
[speaker001:] okay I have come upon a recipe several years ago that is the now I don't care for fruitcake period
[speaker002:] um-hum yeah
[speaker001:] and this one is absolutely it's so easy and it is so wonderful everyone I serve it to that does not even care for fruitcake wants the recipe
[speaker002:] uh it's it's it's kind of funny I I don't think I've ever met anybody that actually likes fruitcake
[speaker001:] oh my older daughter does oh she just thinks it's wonderful and we always provided her with with one but this is one can of Eagle Brand
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] a pound of nuts a pound of cherries uh candied cherries and a pound of something else in the candied fruits
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] mix that up put it in spray a pan loaf pan pour it into the pan and cook it at two hundred and twenty five degrees
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] for about about an hour and it's it is wonderful
[speaker002:] hm
[speaker001:] that doesn't have all that citrine in it and I think that is what the uh people are so opposed to with with the fruitcake
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] but maybe sometime when you have nothing better to do you would like to try that one
[speaker002:] okay
[speaker001:] so what more need we talk about this morning
[speaker002:] um I can't hardly think of much
[speaker001:] have you enjoyed this um switchboard conversations or is this your first one
[speaker002:] I've I've done several of them it's it's it's all right it's you know it's not like anything anything disastrous or you don't have to go to a lot of trouble to do it
[speaker001:] no that the way I feel about it and I have talked with some very interesting people so I hope you have a wonderful holiday both of them and um take care
