She went downstairs to her mother’s in-law apartment to plan the takeout order. Running the house, she makes sure her mother eats a good meal and has leftovers. Takeout orders with a fussy eater can be an ordeal, and though she’s not a big drinker, this Friday night’s takeout order calls for something stronger than cranberry lime seltzer. When he asks what she would like to drink, she asks her husband to pull out all the stops and grab her a hard peach seltzer.
