[speaker001:] We could talk about my favorite subject [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Cooking and food, huh.
[speaker001:] Food [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] What do you like to cook?
[speaker001:] Uh, I don't cook a lot actually. I have just started baking, so, uh, I am kind of interested in cakes and, uh, muffins and stuff like that, but I can't seem to get them exactly right. So, I am just trying to perfect some things.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] I tried to make an applesauce cake. Which I will never ever try to make again.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] It was horrible [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] Oh dear.
[speaker001:] I don't know if the cake was horrible or if I made it horrible.
[speaker002:] [Inhaling] Oh, probably not. I, uh, have, uh, a bread recipe that is real easy that everyone always really does like.
[speaker001:] Uh.
[speaker002:] That, uh, doesn't require kneading the dough.
[speaker001:] Oh. Hey [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] And, it is always, it is wonderful. It is, and what is funny is that you use, uh, bran, all bran
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and it looks like it is a wheat bread.
[speaker001:] Uh.
[speaker002:] But, it is actually all bran flour
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and, uh, you know, it is just regular the type that, you know, yeast and that sort of thing
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and you let it rise and you can let it rise in the refrigerator and then punch it down, and then, uh, make your rolls. They really are good
[speaker001:] Wow.
[speaker002:] and they are so easy to do.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] That is seems like every time that we have a dinner party, or that we are going some place where everybody is suppose to bring something and they have had my rolls before.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh. They request it.
[speaker002:] They always ask me to, bring those rolls [louder].
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] I have not gotten any requests yet. Last year, I had a Christmas party, at, uh, my office, and I, uh, made the tuna fish sandwiches. And everyone, uh, I mean, I think, everyone knows how to make tuna fish, so I thought that would be easy for me to make and I can not go wrong with that, and so I made it and, uh, I used celery seed in my, Do you use celery seed in your tuna fish?
[speaker002:] No I haven't.
[speaker001:] And I just thought it was so strange, because I never, I thought that that was what celery seed was for. Was for tuna fish.
[speaker002:] Oh, how funny.
[speaker001:] And so, but everyone really, really loved the tuna fish and they just couldn't get over the fact that I used celery in it and it just surprised me. Celery and onion and,
[speaker002:] Well, see I, I have always used celery, I mean, I have used celery before.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] But I never used the celery seed in it.
[speaker001:] Oh. Yeah.
[speaker002:] Well, what else do you put in it besides the celery seed.
[speaker001:] Just like, uh, really fine onions and green pepper and the celery seed and I use like, uh, Miracle Whip salad dressing instead of the actual mayonnaise
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] because I really don't like the Helman's Mayonnaise. But if you use salad dressing with kind of, uh, you know, kind of, I guess a tart taste.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Then it comes out real good. But, I, uh, it was the first time I have [inhaling], I have ever found out that the, the, [LAUGHTER] nobody else used celery seed. I feel so silly but,
[speaker002:] See, I have never put bell pepper in tuna fish either.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] Isn't that funny?
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] I was brought up with tuna fish, you know, where you put in, uh, oh, chopped hard boiled eggs which is
[speaker001:] Right.
[speaker002:] now is a no, no with cholesterol and, uh,
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] you know, chopped up dill pickles.
[speaker001:] Right.
[speaker002:] And that sort of thing. The standard old tuna fish.
[speaker001:] Yeah. I would put that too. I just did not have those things.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Like I don't think I had eggs that night or something, but I would have put eggs. I would have put eggs in there also.
[speaker002:] But isn't that interesting? So you,
[speaker001:] Uh, strange.
[speaker002:] You, you use bell pepper and onion and
[speaker001:] Celery seed.
[speaker002:] celery seed. I will have to try that.
[speaker001:] Do you use a regular mayonnaise or,
[speaker002:] Sometimes I do and sometimes I use the Miracle Whip.
[speaker001:] The Miracle Whip.
[speaker002:] It depends on what I have.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] And sometimes, if I am using, like, regular mayonnaise, to spice it up a little bit
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] uh, I will use a little bit of mustard with it.
[speaker001:] Yeah. I do that also.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Just to, to put a little zing in it.
[speaker002:] Yeah. But not a bunch.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] But enough to, make it have a little bit more flavor.
[speaker001:] [very faint] I love barbecue. Anything barbecued I will eat.
[speaker002:] I like, uh, to barbecue baby back ribs.
[speaker001:] Uh.
[speaker002:] And, uh, and, and, they are so easy to do if you, uh, have a good barbecue sauce
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and you, uh, just cook them very, very slowly in the oven.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] And it is not hard to cook, like some meals are.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] And it is not, of course, it is messy to eat. That is the disadvantage.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] And, uh, I make lasagna from scratch and people really like my lasagna
[speaker001:] Yeah. I like to make that too. I make that once in a while.
[speaker002:] and so, uh, sometimes, I am requested to make that. And that is not too hard to do because you can do it in advanced and just bake it.
[speaker001:] It is not really, once you have all the ingredients
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] it is just the layering really.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] And not breaking the, uh, the, uh, pasta.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] That is the hardest part probably.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] But, uh,
[speaker002:] Then, I have a wonderful recipe for strawberry pie. It just takes forever
[speaker001:] Uh.
[speaker002:] But, it is, uh, when the strawberries are nice, and big and fresh and yummy.
[speaker001:] Do you make cheesecake?
[speaker002:] Uh, uh-huh. I do. But this one is basically, it is like a normal pie crust.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] But then you use this sort of, uh, it is a cream cheese, uh, uh, layering, but you, use, uh, thin it out a little bit.
[speaker001:] Uh.
[speaker002:] Uh, or make it a little fluffier and you put, uh, line the whole pie crust with that
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and so, it is sort of like in a way. Uh, using cheese
[speaker001:] Uh.
[speaker002:] cake, but, and it is not a real cheese cake and then you,
[speaker001:] And just put the strawberries,
