　　Shawn: Key lime pie, that's my special recipe. I just can't give that out to anybody.

　　Senem: Yes, you can. Please. I really want to make it tonight. Please tell me.

　　Shawn: What for?

　　Senem: What do you mean, what for? Just be nice and tell me.

　　Shawn: Well, alright, because you're my best friend, I will.

　　Senem: Thank you.

　　Shawn: But you have to pay me back some day.

　　Senem: Alright. I will. I'll teach you how to make some Turkish food. There we go.

　　Shawn: OK. Well, first, key lime pie has a few special ingredients that you need to get. And the first one is graham crackers¹.

　　Senem: Graham crackers!

　　Shawn: Alright and if you can find them, the rest is pretty simple.

　　Senem: I see.

　　Shawn: What you need to do, is you have to collect, you have to find graham crackers first and then you also have to buy three limes, to cans of sweetened condensed milk.

　　Senem: Right.

　　Shawn: And buy a stick of butter. And what you do first is you get your pie dish, right.

　　Senem: Uh-huh

　　Shawn: And you mix the butter. Well, you first you melt the butter down, and then you mix it with the crushed graham crackers, and when you crush the graham crackers, they have to be in pretty small bits, not too small, not like a powder, but sort of like bread crumbs².

　　Senem: OK.

　　Shawn: And what you do, is you mix the graham crackers and the butter and you form a pie crust.

　　Senem: OK.

　　Shawn: Alright, and then what you do, after that you stick it in the oven at 200 degrees for 15 minutes.

　　Senem: 15 minutes.

　　Shawn: 15 minutes, and that's it, and while you leave it in for 15 minutes, what you do, is you take your limes, right, and you have to have a grater and a juicer for your limes. And what you do, is your grate the outer skin of the limes

　　Senem: All three of them?

　　Shawn: All three of them. Until you get about, maybe a bit, maybe a table spoon worth of this lime zest³ and you mix the lime zest with the lime juice and your condensed milk.

　　Senem: All together?

　　Shawn: All together and you mix it until it all becomes, until you can't see the lime juice anymore, and then that should take around 15 minutes, by which time, your crust will be done and all you do is pour your mixture into the crust and then stick it in the oven again for about twenty minutes, at about a 180 degrees this time

　　Senem: So the top can go brown or?

　　Shawn: Um, you don't want the top to go brown, you just want to cook it throughout alright so it becomes a bit more solid than just the runny, the runny condensed milk mixture and then after you do that, you just take it out, and stick it in the freezer, and if you leave it in the freezer for about three hours, you'll have a nice pie.

　　Senem: Beautiful. Great. Thanks a lot.

　　Shawn: No worries. But you better pay me back.

　　Senem: I will.
