I like to eat steak. I cook for myself. I run. I celebrate Easter. My parents live in Alaska. I will visit my parents for Easter. I work as a programmer. I don't visit my parents very often. I will be flying to Alaska for Easter. I will be visiting my parents, whom I don't see very often. I will have to do work on my flight. I am a good cook but it took practice. I have a toyota Corolla. I like apple pie.
I am a woman. I sometimes wear dresses. I am visiting my family for Easter. I try to visit my parents as often as I can. My mom bought me a new car. I like my new car. I will cook ham for Easter. I am not a good cook and sometimes have  trouble in the kitchen. I have a mom who will help me out. I love savory pies. My mom makes apple pie. I have a Lexus ES 350.
Alaska was great, not ready to leave yet! That's great!  Enjoy your time with your family.  Did you have a big get-together with other members of your family? Oh yes, I have a big family. My mom has 7 siblings and each of them have many kids as well. I think I have about 28 cousins from my mom's side. Do you have a big family? Wow!  That's a huge family.  It's just me and my parents for Easter.  Did you do most of the cooking? That's fun! I did not do most of the cooking. When I was home with my family, all the elderlies liked to take on all the cooking. So I just let them be and instead enjoyed the time with my cousins. With so many cousins, I bet there's a lot to catch up on.  How long will you be in Alaska for? I will stay for another 3 days and then fly back to Chicago. I have to go back to my demanding programming job. What do you do for a living? I'm a freelancer mainly.  Growing up I didn't have a lot of family members around me like you to help me decide on a career path.  I envy your large family, and I bet cooking is a big deal in your family with so many mouths to feed.  What are some of your traditional family dishes? Oh my mom wanted me to stay back in Alaska when I graduated high school but I thought I wanted to explore the "outside" world more. They didn't really help me decide on my career path, so you're definitely  not losing much there! My grandmother has this really great cranberry pie recipe, so every Easter my aunts and my  mom will make a dozen of the pie to feed everyone of us! Mmm...  That cranberry pie sounds amazing.  My mom has a killer appie pie recipe of her own.  I'm sure it has to be a team effort to bake all those pies. Yes, we have cranberry pies every time we get together-- Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. It is a tradition without fail every year. Apple pie sounds really yummy, would love to try that next time I visit you. Does your mom ever go to the orchard and pick fresh apples for the pie? No, she just buys them from the store since there's just a few of us.  What else do you guys do during these get-togethers besides eating?
