I Need Good Recipes for One

CM: I think that's worth half-a-point.

KV: I think it is, too.

JS: That's fair, that's fair.

CM: I remember that homentashen recipe because you did it in the test kitchen.

KV: I did. I developed it because my very first week here, David pulled me into his office and he said, “I'm supposed to develop a homentashen recipe and I have no time. Will you do it instead?” I said, “Okay!”

CM: All right. Kendra, what is the subtitle of Jesse's cookbook Cookies?

KV: I feel like I'm getting all the hardest questions. Okay.

CM: Don't worry, you're going to get some good ones.

KV: Okay, okay. I was ready to put Jesse's first recipe for Epicurious. Okay.

JS: No one ever calls it this. This is a tough one.

KV: I have no idea. I'm going to make it up.

JS: I want to hear it.

KV: I'm making up a subtitle. The New Classics.

JS: Are you kidding me?

CM: Stop!

JS: That's amazing!

CM: That was amazing! I was like, “What?”

KV: It's because I knew it was something about you're reinventing whatever.

JS: Sure, sure, sure. That was impressive.

KV: Wow.

CM: Wow, Kendra. Okay.

JS: We're doing good.

KV: Wow. Okay.

CM: Jesse, what did I facetiously say was, “a sensible choice for the kitchen,” regarding Kendra's outfit one day somewhat recently?

JS: Oh, man. I'm trying to think.

KV: I'll give you a hint.

JS: Okay.

KV: It was the day of our Christmas party.

CM: Try to keep in mind it's not like I would say something inappropriate.

KV: He doesn't usually comment on my outfit.

CM: It would have to be something kind of safe for me to comment on, right?

JS: Sure, sure, sure. I'm going to get this wrong.

KV: That's okay. Okay. The answer was extremely high heels with socks.

JS: I put heels!

KV: Yay! Very good.

CM: I think they were open-toed as well.

KV: They were open-toed high heels with socks.

CM: I honestly don't even care if you're wearing high heels in the kitchen because go with God on that, but the open-toed. I'm just seeing paring knives stuck into big toes.

KV: So funny. You just said, “Sensible choice for the kitchen.”

CM:Jesse, that was great.

JS: We're doing good.

KV: We're doing really good.

CM: All right. Kendra, Jesse recently had to bring his computer in to our tech support department. What is the first thing that they said when they saw Jesse's computer?

JS: This is an attack.

KV: I don't know if I'm going to have it exactly right. Okay.

JS: Okay. They said, “Before they can fix it, they have to physically clean my computer because it's so crusty.”
