Jules: "I was watching Food Network this morning and it totally made me think of you. They were cooking some really yummy stuff."
Christie: "Oh yeah? what was it?"
Jules: "Hors d’oeuvres. And then some spinach ball thingy…with motzarella? Swiss? I don’t remember. Anyway, it all looked really good, but I know I’d never make it."
Christie: "Why not? It sounds good."
Jules: "There was way too much work involved."
Christie: "Sounds like you were watching shows that are way too complicated."
Jules: "Chris, I was watching Rachel Ray."
Christie: "Um, yeah. Doesn’t get much easier than that."
Jules: "This is what I’m saying."
Christie: "How does Trav not starve?"
Jules: "Takeout. And hot wings."
Christie: "I make hot wings, too! I love them – they’re sooo easy. What recipe do you use?"
Jules: "uh…One Red Box of Frozen Tyson."
Christie: "Bleah."
Jules: "Ooo – and then Paula was on after. She was grilling. MMmmm. If we ever visit Georgia, I am totally eating at her restaurant. We love her."
Christie: "I love her too, she’s a riot. But I don’t cook any of her stuff."
Jules: "WHY? It all looks AWESOME."
Christie: "Yeah. But everything she makes has like 3 pounds of butter. How does anyone EAT that?! Hu-guh-glah."
Jules: "Hey, speaking of butter – guess what I learned from my betty crocker cookbook today?"
Christie: "What?"
Jules: "Well, I decided to fry some fish for dinner. But then I realized I was out of cooking oil – after everything thawed. So I was kinda screwed."
Christie: "Oh, so did you bake it or something"
Jules: "Did you know you can fry with shortening?! I thought that was just for cookies."
Christie: "…how are we even related?"
Jules: "Amazing."
