Todd: OK, Gabrielle, you are a vegetarian.
Gabrielle: That's right!
Todd: So, you do not eat meat!
Gabrielle: I don't. No meat, no fish!
Todd: OK, and you said that you have a garden.
Gabrielle: Yeah, I'm lucky to have enough room to have a vegetable garden, as well as a flower garden, so I love growing veggies.
Todd: Oh, nice! Can you tell us about your garden and what you grow and what you eat?
Gabrielle: Sure absolutely! Well, I guess in the summertime, I grow a lot of salad vegetables:
lettuce, green onions, tomatoes, and over the winter, whatever grows pretty much, carrots or cabbages, broccoli.
Todd: Wow, you grow vegetables all year round!
Gabrielle: I try. I try. I'm not a great gardener. Yeah, so!
Todd: And what things do you like to make with these vegetable?
Gabrielle: Ah, in the summer time I love just raw vegetables, so salads are great, and I eat them with Tofu or, yeah, vegetables are good. (OK) Yeah in winter soups. I love making soup with fresh veggies.
Todd: Oh, what kind of soup?
Gabrielle: Well, I don't follow recipes actually, so what ever veggies I have go in the pot. Yeah, tomato soup, corn soup's good.
Todd: Sounds good. How do you make soup?I mean what is your procedure?
Gabrielle: OK, well, basically I take whatever vegetables I have, chop them up and cook them, boil them lightly. I like them still crunchy and then I often add a base of some sort, a stock, a veggie stock.
Todd: Now that's normally a problem for vegetarians right, cause you can't use bullion, (Yeah) the beef cube or the chicken cube.
Gabrielle: Sure, at home actually, we have a lot of vegetarian products available so I get some organic veggie stock, or alternatively, I use some spices, some cumin or basil spice, yeah, or sometimes lentils I cook up. Yeah!
Todd: You're making me hungry. Sounds good. Well, thanks a lot, Gabrielle.
Gabrielle: No, problem, you're welcome.
enough room
I'm lucky to have enough room to have a vegetable garden.
When you have 'enough room' it means that you have plenty
of space to be comfortable or to do the things that you
want.
Notice the following:
- Do you have enough room for a swimming pool in your
garden?
- I think we have enough room for 8 people to sit around
and eat dinner.
all year round
Wow, you grow vegetables all year round!
When something is done 'all year round' it means that it
happens at all times during the year. The seasons do not
stop it from happening.
Notice the following:
- I go running all year round.
- The fairground is open all year round
procedure
How do you make soup? I mean what is your procedure?
A 'procedure' is the method or the way that you do
something.
Notice the following:
1. Make sure you follow the correct procedure.
2. When people start a new job it takes a while for them to
learn all the different procedures.
stock
I often add a base of some sort, a stock, a veggie stock.
A 'stock' is a liquid used in cooking, it is added during
the cooking process to make the meal tastier.
Vegetable stock is made by cooking vegetables, salt and
spices in water for a long time. Many times stocks are
made with meat instead of vegetables.
Notice the following:
- I prefer to make my own chicken stock, because what they
sell at the store is too salty.
- The vegetable stock should keep in the fridge for a few
days.
organic
I get some organic veggie stock.
When something is organic it means that it has been made or
grown without the use of any artificial or unnatural
chemicals.
Notice the following:
- I only eat organic foods as I think that they are much
better for you.
- I grow all of my own organic vegetables in the garden.
