I had to improvise, as I didn't feel like going to the store, so I had to use a can of jalapenos. Also, I had no mint. I have already had a request to make it again, so thank you very much!

I refused, telling to just call and I would come over. He was not happy. I was only four blocks away, so no reason I was holding him up as he said. He only wanted the key so zI would not know when he came. He preferred to come about 3 pm until 5 pm.

That was the concert I had booked in Zurich that got shut down because of covid and now, since my friend has serious health problems, he will no longer risk going. Not to worry, I'll get there some day I guess.
