[speaker002:] okay what choir are you from
[speaker001:] uh Christ United Methodist
[speaker002:] well of course I'm the little short one that sits on the end by Judy Dillon
[speaker001:] oh okay I'm in the soprano parts
[speaker002:] you're a soprano well I well we can chitchat easily without any sweat then
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] what a hoot I I'd forgotten about this thing I have been so bad oh good
[speaker001:] well I have too I have too and I
[speaker002:] obviously it's working now I should
[speaker001:] oh I guess so I've only had uh one other chance at this thing and
[speaker002:] I will do better well okay Leslie what are we gonna discuss Leslie
[speaker001:] we're supposed to discuss food and cooking
[speaker002:] fine
[speaker001:] and uh did it describe it to you at all
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] I have a cordless phone that doesn't do well
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] uh yeah okay let I'm pressing one right now okay
[speaker002:] go
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] what kind of things would you put on it
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] of sour cream
[speaker002:] oh that seven layer dip
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] okay okay you that's a wonderful recipe
[speaker001:] yeah it's real good and then a
[speaker002:] what would you use for your main course
[speaker001:] probably go with fajitas
[speaker002:] oh yeah
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] that's an easy way to please everybody
[speaker001:] yeah yeah
[speaker002:] that way if there's something that they don't want then they can just simply leave it off on their own
[speaker001:] that's right
[speaker002:] that's a good idea
[speaker001:] so I haven't done many dinner parties though lately I've just been uh
[speaker002:] well I'm a very casual informal person so most of my quote dinner parties
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] yeah um-hum
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] yeah uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker002:] so I I'm afraid I'm not a real fancy sit down kind of use your best china
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] dinner party kind
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] well my life is kind of casual so my dinner parties would be also
[speaker001:] well speaking of dinner parties are we still doing this uh um
[speaker002:] well what's a good potluck for eight to ten people what do you
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] it can be anything
[speaker001:] okay
[speaker002:] it can be anything I I may just bring fresh fruit because I know everybody will eat that even though it's not
[speaker001:] okay
[speaker002:] you know someone'll bring a meat
[speaker001:] yeah yeah
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] I think they always go over well
[speaker001:] yeah okay how long we supposed to talk on this about three minutes I hope
[speaker002:] I think we've probably discussed all they need to discuss
[speaker001:] yeah okay well then if we're done it's all we do is just say good-bye right well
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] yeah I'll get  yeah yeah sounds good nice talking to you bye-bye
[speaker002:] okay I've enjoyed talking to you bye
