your daughter will be back soon . I'm going to start making dinner . You can just watch some TV in TV room if you like . We just bought a new TV with a LCD screen . The remote control is on the coffee ta   would you mind if I helped out in the kitchen instead ? I do enjoy cooking .   this is supposed to be your vacation ; we'd like you to just relax .   cooking makes me feel relaxed . So , what are we cooking ?   ok , well , we're going to make a pan of lasagne , a salad , and some garlic bread . Here's the recipe . Do you want to get the ingredients we need out of the cupboard ?   sure . We should probably pre-heat the oven right away , too .
