I go biking. I have a girlfriend. My favorite breakfast is pancakes.
I work at a publishing company. I read and write. I like to read non-fiction autobiography books. Italian food is my favorite food.
How did the lasagna turn out? The lasagna was great.  I was so proud of myself.  It was my first time making it.   That's great! I knew you would do good just knowing so much about Italian food. The only thing I know how to make is pancakes, and I even mess those up! Ha! You should tell your girlfriend to help you.  Maybe she has an easy recipe for making pancakes.  Or, if you're lucky, maybe she'll make the pancakes for you!   Yeah, that would be better, that she would make them for me! One day maybe you can teach her how to make that Lasagna then she can make that for me too! So have you been doing any reading lately besides cooking? As a matter of fact, I have been reading a great book about Italy from Rick Steeves.  I've been reading about the best cities to visit, such as Venice, Rome, and Florence.  I'd love to travel to Italy soon and maybe take a cooking course while I'm there.   Wow, that sounds exciting! Bet the company you work for would let you do that, then you could write about the places for your job.  You just gave me a great idea!  I can take a cooking course and then write a blog about it for my publishing company.  Maybe I can also write about some favorite Italian sports in addition to soccer.  Do you know if Italians enjoy bicycling? Yes, Italians love bicycling. I know that because I am half Italian and I love it. Me and my girlfriend go biking every weekend and we are gone for hours! I think that is a great idea that you have! It's great to know that Italians love bicycling.  I'd like to know as much as I can about Italy before traveling there.  And now I'm getting more interested in bicycling.  Do you and your girlfriend have a favorite biking place?  You must be in great shape to be able to bicycle for hours!  Any tips? You can come with us this weekend. We have a lot of mountainous area's that we like to bike on, it's a little bit of everything on these trails, you will love it! I'd love that.  Plus, I need to get some exercise to burn off that delicious lasagna.  Now I need to start looking for my bike helmet.  It's been so long since I've gone on a bike ride!
