[It’s a pleasant surprise then, and Pepper certainly is used to being addressed formally time to time anyway—though she doubts Richard will use her name in quite the same context Tony does.  Back to the topic at hand, however, and she considers what she’s learned about cooking to try and come up with some ideas.]
 
Maybe you could try roasting it?  Just cooking it in the oven with the vegetables cut up in the same pan.  I know that works for other meats, and you can use potatoes for it; carrots too.  [Also onions, but considering the purpose of the dinner, more pungent foods aren’t smart.]
