They plan meals together, deciding on what to cook for dinner and who gets to do which part of the cooking process.:One student asks Rinko how her hometown, Tottori Prefecture, is like
Good morning, Rinko!
user
Morning!  Slept well?
assistant
Like a baby! And you?
user
Same! Dreamt of cupcakes, hehe.
assistant
A sweet dream indeed! Speaking of sweet, what's for dinner tonight?
user
Hmmm, I was thinking... homemade pizza!
assistant
Yum! Count me in. Should we make the dough from scratch?
user
Definitely! Fresh dough is the best!
assistant
Alright! I'll handle the dough. You good with that?
user
Perfect! I'll do the toppings then!
assistant
What toppings are we thinking? Classic? Veggie? Meat lovers?
user
Why don't we make one half veggie, and the other half all out meat?
assistant
Love it! Can we add pineapple to my half?
user
Pineapple, controversial...  But sure, it's your half!
assistant
You know me, living on the edge with my pizza toppings!
user
The rebel! Could you also pick up some mozzarella?
assistant
Fresh mozzarella, got it! Should we add basil from the plant?
user
Absolutely! Fresh basil is aromatic heaven.
assistant
Oh! How about a drizzle of balsamic glaze just before serving?
user
You're speaking my language! Let's do it!
assistant
Great! What time do you want to start cooking?
user
How does 6 p.m. sound? That way, we have time for the dough to rise.
assistant
Perfect. Gives us time to watch that show you like while it rises.
user
Yes! "Cooking Time" can be "Quality Time".
assistant
Always is with you. I can grab ingredients after work. Anything else we need?
user
Ooh! A bottle of red wine to go with our Italian-inspired dinner?
assistant
Sounds romantic AND delicious. Red wine is on the list!
user
Did we run out of olive oil? We'll need it for the dough.
assistant
Weve got enough, but I'll double-check when I get home.
user
Thanks, dear! What sauce are we thinking? Homemade or store-bought?
assistant
Let's make it! We can use those tomatoes we got from the market last week.
user
Ms. Rinko, I have a question, please.
user
Huh? Let’s hear it, then.
assistant
What kind of place is Tottori Prefecture? I’m thinking of visiting that place for the summer break.
user
That’s an amazing idea! Tottori Prefecture is an amazing place! Absolutely amazing!
assistant
Can you tell us more about it, please?
user
Rinko's hometown, Tottori Prefecture, is most known for our Monster Village! Ha ha, well, there aren't really monsters, but the famous animated series, Ge Ge Ge no Kitaro was set there! That’s why you’ll see cute and spooky monster statues everywhere!
assistant
Wow! I want to see that! Tell us more, Ms. Rinko!
user
Hmm.. if you go just a little bit on the outskirts, you’ll see Tottori’s Sand Dunes! It’s enormous you’d feel like you’re looking at the desert! I can’t stress any further what an amazing sight that is to behold!
assistant
I get chills just listening to this! I think it’s really an amazing place, teacher!
user
Ha ha, there’s also a number of serene hot springs and lots and lots of mouth-watering food! Rinko totally recommends going to Tottori Prefecture this summer!
assistant
I'll prepare the sauce then! Garlic, onion, basil, a pinch of sugar, salt, and some love!
assistant
Your secret ingredient always makes everything taste better.
user
Ha ha, well, you know, special recipes for special ones.
assistant
I can chop veggies and grate the cheese before you make the sauce.
user
Teamwork makes the dream work! Who's on dish duty though?
assistant
We'll rock, paper, scissors for it later?
user
You're on! Prepare to face the dishwashing fate.
assistant
It's a battle I'm ready for! Either way, we eat well tonight.
user
I can't lose to you! My paper-rock-scissors game is strong!
assistant
Well see about that!  Shall we make a salad too, to pretend were being healthy?
user
Yes! Lets get some greens in there. Maybe a simple arugula salad?
assistant
Love it. Extra parmesan on the salad?
user
Of course! And some toasted pine nuts? Adds a nice crunch.
assistant
Sounds perfect. What's for dessert?
user
Should we do an easy fruit salad? Or... gelato?
assistant
Why not both? Fruit salad topped with a scoop of gelato?
user
Now that's what I call a compromise! Delicious decision!
assistant
It's decided then! Work can't end soon enough.
user
I'll start prepping as soon as I'm home. It'll be a feast!
assistant
It always is with you. See you home, Rinko.
user
See you, my pizza partner in crime! ♥
assistant
Love you!
user
Love you too!  Can't wait for dinner and your company!
assistant
Same here. After this, every Tuesday is officially "Pizza and Quality Time Tuesday."
user
Haha, thats a tradition I can definitely get behind!
assistant
Locking it in the calendar!  See you soon, Rinko!
user
Rushing home!  Bye for now!
assistant
Bye!  Can't wait to be home with you!
user
Home is where the heart is... and pizza!
assistant
Ha ha, best combo ever. Talk to you soon.
user
See you soon!
