Sonia (mother of Layla and Aisha): So we’ve finished marinating the chicken. We’ve got the garlic and the lemon. Put that into the fridge. And now we can start our vegies. We’re going to use potato, what else? Carrots?

Layla: Carrots.

Aisha: Carrots.

Sonia: Corn.

Layla: Corn.

Aisha: Corn.

Sonia: And maybe peas? We’ll use peas.

Aisha: I don’t like peas.

Sonia: Well you need to try them. How about we try them? Now Aisha, I’ll get you to start with the corn. So that’s right from there. You’re right. And then you go all the way. You’ve got to rip it all the way. Good girl.

We’re going to roast the potatoes and the carrots and then we’ll boil the corn. Let me do this one then you can start. We’ll do that one. Well done, Layla.

And because I’ve bought some extra, we’re going to take some for lunch tomorrow so we’re going to pack our own lunchboxes now for tomorrow. We’ve got extra carrots so we can use some. We can have some carrot sticks. I’ve got mine. There’s Layla’s. And there’s yours. Here’s a trick to corn.

Layla: One…

Sonia: So how many corn are there?

Aisha: We haven’t counted yet.

Layla and Aisha: Eight, nine..

Aisha: And ten.

Layla: Ten.

Sonia: So how many pieces do we need for dinner?

Aisha: Five.

Layla: Five.

Sonia: And then these spare ones we can use them for…

Layla: Lunchbox.

Sonia: Our lunchboxes. That’s right. Nine, ten. Now Aisha, come and cut the carrots for me.

Aisha: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Seven carrots.

Sonia: Seven carrots. And what are we going to do with the carrots now?

Aisha: Put them in the tray.

Sonia: Yeah. And we’re going to chop them up first. Now how many potatoes do we have?

Layla: Four.

Sonia: Yeah. And we’ll use three.

Aisha: One…

Sonia: Because we’ll make a small potato salad.

Aisha: Two, three, four.

Sonia: So we’ll use three.

Aisha: Do you want me to put them in there?

Sonia: Yeah, put into the baking dish. Well done. I think some broccoli will be nice. We’ll grab some broccoli.

Aisha: Yummy broccoli.

Sonia: So what we’ll do is, you can place them nicely. Lovely. So we’re going to check on the corn, we’re going to put into the baking dish. Carefully because it’s very very hot. Grab the plate carefully.
