What smell, William? The chicken wings are burnt. Victoria will have dinner with me tonight. I want to cook some dishes for her. But you can't let your girlfriend eat burnt chicken wings. I'm not a good cook. I'll help you. You're awesome, Mom. Let's start. I'm going to cook an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert. Do you have shrimp? Yes, I have. Let's peel and devein shrimps. Okay, Mom. We'll cook a party shrimp for appetizers. Great. Now you thinly slice a garlic clove. Thinly slice. Then we need a bowl. Here we are. Put one tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl. Add one teaspoon brown sugar. One teaspoon lemon juice. One garlic clove, thinly sliced. Then add half teaspoon paprika. And what should I add? Let me remember. Ah, half teaspoon dried basil. And add quarter teaspoon pepper. Finally, add peeled and deveined shrimp. Now toss to coat by your hand. I do it. Then refrigerate for two hours. After two hours, what will we do with those shrimps? Place shrimp on a baking sheet. Roil them, turn pink. Three to four minutes on each side. You're the best, Mom. Thank you. Now the main dish. I want to make grilled chicken wings. Do you have any other chicken wings? Of course I have. Great. First, season the chicken wings. What should I add? Salt and pepper. Okay, Mom. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, depending on their size. Flipping once after the first 20 minutes. Sure, Mom. Meanwhile, I'll make the sauce. Melt the butter with the garlic on the stove. Then add spices and stir the sauce. The sauce looks delicious. When the wings are done, dip them in the sauce. Then we'll have grilled chicken wings? Yes. What is Victoria's favorite dessert? She likes pancakes. Let's do it. Put two eggs, three quarter cup milk, one teaspoon vanilla in the bowl. Now I whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla together. I want to do something. You will sift flour and sugar into a large bowl. Two cups flour and one third cup sugar. Yes, Master Chef. Two cups flour and one third cup sugar. Where's sugar? Ah, I see. I'm done. How about you, William? I'm done too. Now add this mixture and whisk until just combined. I'll do it. Okay. I'll heat a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Grease pan with butter. Are you done, William? Here you are. Okay. We use quarter cup mixture per pancake. Cook for about one to two minutes, then flip the other side and cook until cooked. That's so great. Yeah. Making cakes is easy. Eat pancakes with maple syrup. Yes, you can have extra strawberries and black currants. Perfect. Your girlfriend will love it. I hope so. Anyway, thanks, Mom. Good luck with your dinner. Good evening. Welcome to our restaurant.

Please try the dessert. Okay. The cake tastes salty. Is that the new recipe? Salty? Oh, no. Looks like I confused the salt pot with the sugar pot. It tasted strange but delicious. Really? Yes.

Let's follow the conversation between Tracy and Maggie and find out some compliments. Hey, Maggie. Good afternoon, Tracy. What are you doing? Nothing. What's up? Look what I have. What are they, Tracy? I have two tickets to the kids' fashion show. It is a nice show. When is it? On Friday. Would you like to go with me on Friday? Of course. I would love to. Right. What a wonderful show. I am dreaming to take part in it when I was a kid. I used to. It was an extremely amazing experience. As an audience or as a model? As a model. I used to be a kid model. Really? So you used to run for the catwalk at the kids' fashion show? Yes, I did. Oh, my God. It's so amazing. You are a star. My mom sent me to a fashion club. Then I took part in it with them. But, you know, all the kids there were super cool. How were they? Their outfits were unique. They walked on the runway professionally. Was that show monumental? Yes. I remember there were some celebrities coming. I'm so excited. Do you remember any highlights of that night? Absolutely, yes. It was the winter collection part. Everyone expected it so much. And Sam, he was also one of my club members. Hey, that is Sam. He is wearing the main items of the collection. I know. He will be the star of today's show. Wow, look. He looks matching with all his outfits. It looks like being made for himself. Oops. Oh, my God. What happened? He fell down. No worries. He can do it. Oh, my gosh. So what did he do exactly? He posed super cute after falling down. The audience applauded him a lot. Then he stood up and continued walking. Wow, the boy is so cute. Yeah, there are not many kids can do like him. Wow, how professional he is. At that time, many news wrote about his fall and praised him. You are the best, Sam. Wow, what a great performance. Thanks. Has he been a model so far? No, but sometimes he is still booked for some lookbook. What a pity. He lost a talent. Do you still keep in contact with him? Yes, we still keep in touch. Do you have his picture? I'm so curious about him. Yes, I have. Let me show you. Wow, until now, he is still cute. That's right. When he was a kid, he was even cuter. Are there any other things you were impressed with that show? They are a well-coordinated team and a well-designed program. You make me really exciting about Friday night. That's all I remember. I'm looking forward to the Friday night show. Yeah, kids are always cute. What time does the show start? At 7 p.m. But I think we should come soon. Cool, can you pick me up? Okay, so I will drive. Great, thank you so much for inviting me. You're welcome. I am happy that I have someone to go with.
