I have a throat infection and fever, and am, obviously, not going to work.  Everyone is insanely busy, as it's the end of July and a Friday night to top it off, and I asked Manuel to ask him mom to maybe send up some vegetables or something to eat since I can't leave the house.

True to form, she sent me up enough for dinner for 4 for multiple nights.  It's always amusing for me to remember that Italian moms are Italian moms, even if they're in New Jersey - that's one cultural similarity that hasn't changed.
