Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side.

Wordscapes

They say, when you get older you need to enhance your memory not just on taking herbal vitamins. You need to make your brain active as much as possible in order to remember recall words.

My mother in-law was playing wordscape from her phone. She got stuck on a certain level. She was asking for help since she was on the same level for hours just for one more word to move up another level.

Her grandson decided to help her out by getting her phone from her. The grandson went online and search the cheat code for the level she was in.

As he had answered the word to his Grand Mother. She said, you are so smart how did you know what that word was. I was stuck for one hour and I couldn't figure what the word was.

He laughed at her not saying anything.

My mother in-law was playing the next level and it started getting more difficult for her to find the right words.

She asked, her grandson who helped her earlier. He than showed her where she got the answer.

From that moment on my mother in-law scrolled her grandson telling him that is cheating. I don't want to do it that way.

I want to figure out the word on my own so I can challenge myself.

In life people find the short cut to solve a problem when they are having a difficult time. In this matter playing a game and looking for the answers in the Internet is not the correct way.
