Speaker 1
I just tried out a new recipe for gyros, and it's amazing!
Speaker 2
Wow, what made the new recipe so good?
Speaker 1
Most definitely the blackened grilled chicken and the shawarma sauce. Yum!
Speaker 2
The secret I feel is always in the sauce. I'm glad you finally found a recipe you like. Do you try new recipes often? I want to get into cooking but there's just so many that I don't know where to start.
Speaker 1
I try new recipes pretty often. Pinterest always has the best recipes for newbies like us.
Speaker 2
I saw that Pinterest had a lot of recipes but the website is so confusing. Maybe I should use a classic cookbook. I am kind of old-school like that...
Speaker 1
That's understandable. How have you found new recipes in the past?
Speaker 2
I'm not too creative so I just looked up classic dishes like spaghetti and meatballs, baked cod, things like that. But I think I need some more creative ideas from a seasoned pro.
Speaker 1
My gyro recipe was inspired by a local restaurant in my neighborhood.
Speaker 2
Maybe I can cook with you sometime. Are you free this weekend?
Speaker 1
Sure. We are making a ton of gyros for Memorial Day Weekend.
Speaker 2
Oh is there an event going on? Sounds like a perfect way to get some practice.

Speaker 1
Do you enjoy your work as a tax accountant?

It's not the most exciting thing, but I enjoy finding loopholes in the tax laws to help people save money. Do you like your work?
Speaker 1
Yes most of my work these days is more in the area of business financial consulting
Speaker 2
Ah, that sounds like it could be fun. Does it seem repetitive to you, or is each business unique enough to keep it interesting?
Speaker 1
Usually each business is different and facing different problems-have you been to any concerts recently
Speaker 2
No, I haven't, but I really should! Maybe on some upcoming weekend. What about you?

Speaker 1
I spoke with some of my friends about the upcoming concert and we're all excited. I think if you decide to go you'll have a great time!
Speaker 2
Oh, I do enjoy outdoor concerts in the summer.   Does Kenney Chesney put on a great show?
Speaker 1
I haven't seen him before but I've never been to a terrible concert yet!  If it is outdoors you need to pray there's no rain!
Speaker 2
That's true but I'm sure people have a good time anyway.  What is the crowd like at a country music concert?
Speaker 1
Usually they're in a good mood with lots of singing along.  The usually hollering and stomping for more.  The most fun I've had was at a Paul McCartney concert and also a Weird Al Yankovich concert was fun.
Speaker 2
That sounds like a lot of fun.  I know you like rock & pop along with country music, which is your favorite?
Speaker 1
I grew up listening to pop music.  As I got older I liked Aretha Franklin and soul music.  It's cool to see live performances, though.  Have you seen many?
Speaker 2
Yes, quite a few.  I've seen Sufjan Stevens several times.   I wonder how you would classify his music, as rock or pop?   Maybe a combination of both.
Speaker 1
He seems to try a lot of styles.  I like the spiritual themes in his songs.  I like the electronica less.  What do you think?
Speaker 2
I like his willingness to do so many different things.   But I agree with you, his electronica is hit or miss.
Speaker 1
There were some electronica bands I liked in the 80s.  I don't know if Eurythmics is considered electronica.  But I definitely had a punk haircut back then.  Sprayed purple at times! lol
Speaker 2
Hah, and now you are an accountant!   Do you still wish you had the purple hair sometimes?
