You can cycle at any age. I love it! You should come with.
Speaker 2
Sounds interesting but I love the beach.

You can cycle on the board walk before and after taking a dip.

Cool, what do you do for a living?

I just cooked a Mediterranean dish this weekend and thought about you! 
Speaker 2
Really!? That's awesome! What did you make?
Speaker 1
Broiled fish and vegetables. I forget the fancy name for it. 
Speaker 2
Very cool! That sounds yummy! Did you like it?
Speaker 1
I did. It was rich and light at the same time. I wish I could remember what it is called. 
Speaker 2
It's ok! I'm glad you liked it! Fish is one of my favorites! Do you cook a lot?
Speaker 1
I cook  most of my meals. But mostly boring stuff. I really branched out with this one. It had artichokes and olives. I will make it again for sure. What have you been doing lately?
Speaker 2
That's really cool! Artichokes are the best! I haven't been doing much, just visiting my grandkids!
Speaker 1
I love kids. how many grandkids do you have?
Speaker 2
I have three! They are lovely! Do you have grandkids?

Speaker 1
Were you able to take your grandkids to the beach during your visit?
Speaker 2
Yes! We just went yesterday.  It was pretty amazing and I was the cool grandparent for a day!
Speaker 1
That's awesome. I remember days like that with my own grandparents - moments I will cherish forever. Did you go in the water or just soak up some sun?
Speaker 2
I dabble my feet. My 10 year old grandson is fearless and spent most of the day running in and out. It was so much fun.  They were so worn out when I took them home.
Speaker 1
Sounds like a wonderful day. I spent a quiet day at home with my dogs. I ended up baking them some blueberry dog treats. 
Speaker 2
So what ingredients do you use for that?  Can people eat those treats too?
Speaker 1
I guess people could eat them, they are probably a little blank. Oat flour, oatmeal, peanut butter, water, dried blueberries.
Speaker 2
Do your dogs go crazy over them?  I haven't had a dog in a couple years, but she went crazy for treats.
Speaker 1
Yes, both of them like zip around the house when I open the treat jar! They are pretty silly.
Speaker 2
I bet.  My Sandy was just like that.  I think I might get a new dog soon.
Speaker 1
Dogs are lovely. Both of mine are rescues - which comes with challenges but very worth-while.
Speaker 2
I would love to open my home to a rescue, but I think I'm too old for the challenges. I was thinking of the humane society and finding an older dog that requires less work.

Speaker 1
What is your favorite kind of fish to cook and eat? 
Speaker 2
I'm a big food of pretty much any type of white fish, although I also have a soft spot for salmon when it's well done. Have you ever had good fish tacos?
Speaker 1
I agree on the salmon. It needs to be done right, but when it is it is delicious! I had the best fish tacos of all time down in Key West. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
Speaker 2
There's a local food truck about thirty minutes from me that makes the best fish tacos with this amazing cilantro based sauce.  It was perfect! Now I'm excited to make dinner. What are your dinner plans for tonight?
Speaker 1
Tonight I am just having chicken and broccoli. Nothing exciting. How about you?
Speaker 2
I'm still trying to decide to be honest.  I made a lovely corn and crab bisque type dish last night, so I might just have leftovers.  What's the best dish you have made that makes great leftovers?
Speaker 1
Wow, that sounds intricate! You will have to make it for me next time I come by! I think anything with cheese and chicken makes for good leftovers.
Speaker 2
Oh yes!  I'm a big fan of anything with brown rice, chicken, and cream cheese, all just thrown into a pot to make this nonsense of deliciousness. I do so love cooking! Sometimes.  Sometimes lazy is more fun though, yes?
Speaker 1
Cream cheese goes great with literally everything! Lazy is always fun :)
Speaker 2
Yesss!  My wife makes an amazing queso using cream cheese and whatever other cheese we have on hand. Obviously this chat has just made me hungry.
Speaker 1
You are inspiring me to add some chips to my meal tonight! I can't hear queso and not crave chips!
Speaker 2
Don't I know it! Too bad the end of the month isn't until tomorrow. Have to wait on those paychecks. What kind of work or hobbies do you do?

Speaker 1
I had a question about what to add into my dish? 
Speaker 2
Sure, what are you making?
Speaker 1
I am making some eggplant parmigiana.  I want to keep it firm yet tasty. 
Speaker 2
What are you thinking of adding to it?
Speaker 1
Oregano, salt, pepper, garlic, and some basil...all fresh herbs of course.  Should I keep it simple?
Speaker 2
Yes, that dish works best with simplicity.  I like to add fresh squeezed lemon at the end.
Speaker 1
Oooh, that sounds good.  Just the juice or some lemon zest too?  Shall I make a fish dish to go with it like Salmon or sea bass?
Speaker 2
Zest just adds some extra color but works well.  A side of smoked salmon would work well.
Speaker 1
My mouth is watering.  How should the smoked salmon be prepared?  Any garnishes?  Is it ok just to get a package of smoked salmon from the deli or grocery store?
Speaker 2
Well first, you should catch it yourself.  Smoke it on the grill for 4 hours and top with butter and tarragon.
Speaker 1
I would if I could.  However, I am far from any river or shore where salmon is swimming.  
Speaker 2
Well in that case, the grocery store is fine.  It just won't taste as good.
