She tried to get through to me on the phone for over an hour. I was on the Internet at the time, so my phone was busy. I apologized, "I'm sorry, Kim. I didn't plan to use the computer for so long. I guess I wasn't keeping track of time. So, what's up?" Kim sounded a little ill at ease when she answered, "I need your help. You know that we have moved. I wanted to have a party to meet our neighbors, but I think I invited too many people. Now I am in charge of cooking dinner for twelve people tomorrow night!" I told Kim, "Maybe you should look into getting pizza delivered or something." "No," Kim said. "Pizza is out of the question . Everyone is expecting a home cooked meal. Can you think up any good recipes I can try?" I'm a far cry from a chef or anything, but I know how to make a few simple things that are good for parties. I told my sister how to make them. Kim said, "Your ideas sound great, Alice! Thanks." "Think nothing of it," I said. "But wouldn't you have been better off calling Mom for recipes?" Kim replied, "Mom is good at cooking. Her recipes might be too hard for me. I know that if you can cook something, I can cook it." ------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------
