Wondering what healthy dessert his mother (who will be 100 years old in October), sister-in-law and sister will order after dinner at the Riverview Country Club in Redding, California.
The Idiot, who just returned to Redding from a healthy week hiking and eating on the Pacific Ocean, knew that he’d be having a wholesome dessert at the Riverview Country Club and thought his family members, including his soon-to-be-1oo-year-old mother, would be similarly attentive and conscientious.
What did The Idiot’s family members have for dessert at the Riverview Country Club while he picked at a frugal fruit cup?
Think three different types of pie with whipped cream.
“Let them eat pie!” declared the restaurant manager when The Idiot chastised him for serving such unhealthy food.
