[Well, he did ask her to pick them, so he won't interject. Stir fry is a little more up in the air (though probably just fine), but really, what vegetables would be bad in tempura? Seriously.]

There, that should be good. Once you peel the potatoes, we have to boil them so we can mash them, but the other dishes don't take too long. The rest shouldn't take too long.

[Maybe he should start making the tempura batter next.... There's so much to do, and he doesn't want anything to get cold.]

I never asked earlier, so have you ever cooked before?
