Back at the apartment
Holly: The turkey's stuffed and has been cooking for about three hours.
Yi-jun: OK, and that's asparagus and that's cranberry sauce, but what's that?
Holly: Candied yams. With lots of butter and brown sugar and marshmallows on top.
Yi-jun: Wow, you made a ham, too? Why is it covered with pineapple slices?
Holly: That's decoration. It's a honey ham with a sweet glaze. Those whole cloves are keeping the pineapples on the ham.
Yi-jun: It all looks delicious, Holly. What can I do to help?
Holly: Finish the deviled eggs. Then baste the turkey!

回到公寓
荷莉:火雞填好作料并烹調三小時左右了。
怡君:好,那是蘆筍,那是小紅梅醬,但那是啥?
荷莉:蜜番薯。上面蓋滿許多奶油、紅糖和棉棉糖。
怡君:哇,你也做了一條火腿?為什么外皮要覆滿菠蘿片?
荷莉:那是裝飾。這是加上糖汁的蜜汁火腿。這么多丁香是為了讓菠蘿弄在火腿上。
怡君:全都看起來好好吃,荷莉。我可以幫上什么忙呢?
荷莉:把芥末蛋弄完。然后在火雞上涂肉汁。
