Now she's cooking with gas

MIL and FIL are here. They arrived yesterday. We haven't seen them in about three months because they've been off traveling the world. So it's nice to have them here just in time for hubby's birthday today. That being said, you know a story has to come out of this.

And the first story is?

Can you guess?

No, you can't.

Remember how MIL shows up with coolers full of food and condiments because she thinks we don't have such things here? This time she has outdone herself. What do you think she's brought with her this time?

Can you guess?

No, you can't.

Apparently unsatisfied with the electric stove I've used for five and a half years now, MIL has brought with her a portable butane stove. Sort of like a hot plate on steroids. She's put it on top of my range and she's using it to cook eggs for FIL as I type this.

I kid you not.

I told you you couldn't guess.

(On the plus side, we did finally convince them to use the towels hanging in the guest room.)

Why, what a... helpful guest.

I'd be tempted in advance of a visit to furnish the house with rented items of which I'd like to own nicer and/or newer versions.

Actually, OMG, anyone who's read your previous MIL tales would probably have had a fair shot at guessing her latest eccentricity. Also, the post title was a fairly big hint.

I hope the visitation isn't aging you like dog years!
