but I've already eaten dinner.

Well, then, keep it

and eat it later.

No, no, I really..

I.. I.. I couldn't.

I know you think I'm pushy, but

you can't afford to be shy

when it comes to food.

Do you live by yourself?

Yep.

You know, I wasn't sure at first

that it was you.

But then there was

something, I don't know.

Made me think about being a kid.

Yeah... Kids shows

were fun back then.

Too bad the a**hole producers

took all the fun away.

I used to watch your show

every night after dinner.

It was like you were

a part of the family.

That's wonderful,

Amy, but I..

I have work I.. I need

to get back to.

Oh! Um, en croute

means in a crust.

It's a flounder in a puff pastry.

Actually, I know

what 'en croute' means.

Oh, of course.

You're so sophisticated.

I hope you approve.

I made it specially for you.

You're so skinny.

I need to lose some weight.

I should be, like,

ten pounds lighter for my height.

And you're still so pretty, Saffron.

I.. I'm flattered. But, sadly,

I've already eaten.

It would really make my day

if you would just try it right now

while the lemon cream

is still hot and tangy enough

to really do its job.

Come on. I dropped a bomb

on the stove.

Need to know

if it's worth the money.

Of course, it was

the idiot's money, but...

Mmm.

It's delicious.

- Really?

- Mm-hm.

You really think so?

Mmm. I really.. I need

to get back to my work.

I'm so happy we're neighbours.

You have no idea.

Let me know

how the cream works.

Don't let it sit too long

'cause it'll lose all of its flavour.

Bye.

(Cheers)

Amy!

Welcome back to Food For Love,

where we transform dinner

into a romantic love affair.

Now, with rack of lamb

with truffled ragu,

you're gonna want to have

your butcher french the bones.

Unless you're handy

with a meat cleaver,

which I personally am not.

I've always been partial to

the black truffle oil of France.

Now, truffles are libido enhancers

because they're rich in...

Amino acids!

(Clapping)

This dish is really all about meat.

Fred used to say,

"I didn't fight my way ...

.. to the top of the food chain

to be a vegetarian."

Who says those vegetarians

don't let their

inner animal out in the bedroom?

(Cheering)

(knocking)

It's 301. I have a surprise for you.

Oh, my God.

I hope I'm not bothering you.

Actually, I'm in

the middle of writing.

How do you cook in here?

(clears throat)

You were amazing in that.

You fought it out with a broken leg

for half the movie.

And I actually broke my leg

making the movie.

Wow. I hope they paid you a lot.

You'd have to ask my mother.

She took care of all that.

Is... that for me?

It's rack of lamb
