Vela smiled.  "So many things.  I was glad to get to go.  I learned a lot from our own chef, but not as much as I did in school.  I learned to create my own recipes as well, which is enjoyable."  She explained.  When it came to talking about Angus she thought about it. 

"Once I've seen what he would pick a few times, I likely won't mind.  It is just one of those things they taught me.  When it comes to the focus of the dish, be sure it is quality."  She explained.

"Most good chefs are picky, but I also learned the hard way not to let those that are not in for my success help me pick up groceries.  It just sticks with you after a few sabotage." She gave Eleanor a wave of her hands as if to say 'what can you do otherwise'.  It wasn't distrusted Angus, it was just her habit now. 

"You will notice I picked a lot of recipes that include apples.  When I was told Mr. Blackwood liked a particular apple dish as a younger man, I thought it might be helpful.  Not every dish, but many.  I would like to keep them in large numbers in supply, if possible."  She added.  "Cutting those up and some of the vegetables will be a great help if you would not mind?"
