Sick man

My Mother-In-Law, Trudy, is coming for a visit and arrives today. I like her a lot, believe it or not, and have been looking forward to her visit. There's a chance that my little wife cannot collect her from the airport (I cannot as Jailbreak is in the shop), and as coming to visit but having to take a cab from the airport can make some people feel unwanted, I did a few things to show her we're truly welcoming her with open arms.

I texted her the address to tell the taxi driver from the airport. Except the address I gave her is a 7/11 a few blocks away. Once she gets there she'll hopefully understand the other part of the text: "Red Gatorade."

She'll look up our real address on her phone and realize it's only a few blocks away and hoof it. She knows to look for the key in the mailbox, but in it I left a can of Raid® for Spiders and a note saying the key was in the wood pile to the right of the mailbox. I hope she puts one-and-one together and sprays the shit out of that arachnid-infested wood heap before digging in for the keys!

Once inside, she'll have some vacuuming and tidying up to do. Not much. Ez's toys all over the frikkin' place will be the biggest time-taker.

Lastly, I left a note next to our Thomas Keller cookbook, Ad Hoc At Home, opened to the recipe for Peking Duck. (Mmmmm-mmm, is Peking Duck delicious!) The note says, "pls make Peking Duck for dinner tonight. All the stuff is in the fridge and cupboards." The thing is I got a capon instead of a duck. She'll figure it out!


Tonight - Tosca.

All roads lead to Tosca.

bye-ee!
