Would you like to order something to drink while you wait for the menu?
Sure, I will have a beer. What about you, Mary?
No. I am fine for now. I usually donot drink more than one beer.
How often do you go to restaurants?
I go quite often, maybe once a week.
Me, too it costs a lot of money though.
Yeah. It is too expensive to eat out all of the time.
I usually cook at home.
What kind of food do you like to cook?
If I am alone I just boil some soup and make a sandwich.
That does not seem very interesting.
I know. But I do not feel likecooking a big meal for myself.
What about if you invite friends over?
If I invite a friend over I usually try to make something special.
What kind of things do you make if a friend comes over?
It depends. It might just be a salad and steak. Sometimes I will try to cook a gourmet meal.
Steaks are easy and always taste good.
I will usually open a bottle of wine with the meal.
What if you go out?What kind of restaurants do you like to go to?
I like all kinds of restaurants. I like Chinese food, Italian food, sushi, steaks, all kinds of food.
Me too. I like to eat different kinds of food.
Yeah but I like some kinds of food more than other kinds. I think I like Italian food best of all.
I like my mother's cooking best of all.
Of course. So do I.
Well, have you made up your minds?...
