Well, I was just at the beach, I love the beach.
Speaker 1
Oh wow, I love taking long walks on the beach!
Speaker 2
I am hungry, do you want to some meditarranean food, you won't regret it?

Speaker 1
There was a fire at my restaurant but I managed to put it out!
Speaker 2
That's wonderful. That must have been super scary. Did anyone get hurt? Was there a lot of damage? I am glad that you are okay!
Speaker 1
i'm glad I am okay too! it was very scary. there's so much responsibility in moments like that! you must feel lots of responbsibility when you're watching the grandkids. they ever give you a run for your money?
Speaker 2
Sometimes, especially when they were younger. Now that they are grown, we have an understanding, and they behave pretty much. They do fight a lot with one another, but kids will be kids. How was the concert? My grandkids are always telling me about the latest music, but I can't keep up with it.
Speaker 1
kids are resilient too. they get up to trouble but usually bounce back. :-) i'm glad they're easier to handle these days! the concert was pretty good -- they were surprisingly talented live! I love a good show. what's your favorite concert you've ever been to?
Speaker 2
I went to an Aerosmith concert, and it was amazing. So much energy and the vibe was cool. Nothing like live music.
Speaker 1
oh my goodness I LOVE aerosmith! that's so awesome! was it recent or back in their glory days?
Speaker 2
Back in the glory days. :) I will never forget it. I would like to see them again, but I doubt it will be the same. Steven Tyler is aging and I am not sure how much he sings these days.
Speaker 1
he's so talented. and I think one of the best things about him is that by all accounts he's an actually good guy. you never hear anyone say a bad word about him. which makes me feel good about liking the band, lol. it's always so disappointing to have a hero then find out theyre a jerk.
Speaker 2
So true! He has like homeless shelters and things where he donates his time and money. I think that's so admirable. 
Speaker 1
agreed. and he and his daughter have a good relationship which is also a good thing. do you have a favorite aerosmith song?
Speaker 2
I do! Love In An Elevator - something about it. Gives me chills.

Speaker 1
How are your grandkids doing?
Speaker 2
They're doing well. They're telling me about all this pop music that they like but I don't know any of the bands. Do you know any pop bands?
Speaker 1
There's so many!  I guess I'd need to narrow it down to what kind.. Like Kpop or mainstream top 40 radio bands...
Speaker 2
Oh! I think I heard my grandkids talking about kpop but I didn't understand it. What is that anyways?
Speaker 1
It's short for Korean pop bands.  It's mostly South Korean culture. 
Speaker 2
Well, I would imagine it's not much North Korean culture... That's interesting. Is that your favorite genre?
Speaker 1
Not at all.  I like classic rock, like Aerosmith.  
Speaker 2
Great. Is that what they usually play at your restaurant?
Speaker 1
They play a decent mix of songs at the restaurant.  Easy listening mostly so the diners have a relaxing experience
Speaker 2
Oh that makes sense. Do you enjoy working there generally or is it too much work?
Speaker 1
I enjoy it but it's very busy.  I like the interaction with people and every day is something different with customers or with experiences.  Like when I had to put out that fire!  Didn't think that would happen the day I went to work haha
Speaker 2
Oh no! There was a fire? Was every ok? Did someone get fired?

Speaker 1
Did you look into the kpop bands that your grandkids like?
Speaker 2
Oh yes and they we’re mighty impressed! Thanks for educating me lol
Speaker 1
No worries.  It can be hard to keep up with current trends these days thanks to the long reach of the internet.  Are they going to try and make you go to a concert with them some day?lol
Speaker 2
Haha… I can see it coming! They won’t have to twist my arm… I feel so blessed to be able to spend so much time with them! But ya if it’s too crazy I’ll just shut my eyes and teleport myself to the Aerosmith concert in the glory days lol
Speaker 1
I can't think of two acts more different.  The only similarity will be the screaming girls in the audience.lol
Speaker 2
Hehe… true! By the way do you get to eat for free at the restaurant you work at?
Speaker 1
We get two free meals per week and we can take home any left over baked goods at the end of the night so they don't go to waste.  It's a nice perk for sure.
Speaker 2
Wow… that’s awesome! I’ve always thought that’s a gr8 perk myself!
Speaker 1
Yeah, it's better than just a discount cause I shouldn't eat out too much since it's expensive and it saves me a little money on meals.  The food is good too.
Speaker 2
That is really nice! What’s your schedule like? Do you work on weekends also?
Speaker 1
Unfortunately.  I usually work a double on Saturday and I work Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday 8 hours each roughly.  It all depends on how busy we get.
Speaker 2
Quite a hectic schedule you have… it’s a good thing you enjoy working there!

Speaker 1
I'm pretty excited! They just added one of my favorite dishes to the menu at work. I can't wait for my next shift so I can try it for free. I will send you a pic later, ok? 
Speaker 2
Okay, yes, please send me a pic as soon as you can. I can't wait to see it. What is the name of the dish?
Speaker 1
It's a Chicken parmesan, with a red pepper marinara. It's so crisp and juicy-I love it! They serve it with these sweet roasted asparagus!
Speaker 2
Oh that sounds absolutely fabulous. Are you going to get a free dessert, as well?
Speaker 1
Yes, I am thinking about trying either the new eclairs, or their tres leches cake with fresh raspberry jam sauce and lemon drizzle! I have too many good options to pick from! What one would you pick?
Speaker 2
Hands down, I would pick the tres leches. Ever since I tried it a few years ago, it has always been my favorite dessert.
Speaker 1
Okay, I will try that! I've heard the can be made with different fruits. Did you have fruit with yours?
Speaker 2
I like it best with fresh strawberries. And then it is even better with some fresh whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. Just thinking about it is making me want to have some right now!
Speaker 1
Ooh, that sounds delicious! It's a rich and moist cake, so I don't think it should have too much chocolate. I've seen brown sugar and caramel versions too!
Speaker 2
Oh I've never seen that version. That sounds scrumptuous. Tonight I'm going to bake some oatmeal raisin cookies.
Speaker 1
That sounds great! I love a good oatmeal raisin cookie with the right amount of cinnamon! My brothers don't like them though, haha. They call them the "vegetable of cookies" :)
Speaker 2
Haha. Your brothers' tastes will probably mature with time. I bet someday they'll grow to love some good old cinnamon oatmeal raisin cookies.
