I know, you are waiting to learn how I managed the situation with 
Christine's  chocolate custard. It was really the toughest situation I had ever faced.  Christine was so happy to see me eating the chocolate custard she made herself!  How could I tell her that her custard couldn't be swallowed? It was really awful  and I couldn't bear the taste any longer; nor could I throw it away. I

 was still  looking for the smile on her face. She was so excited... she told me "You know  Mike, I never knew that I could be such a good cook. This is the first time I  ever made something." "Christy, it's really awesome... and this is the first  time for me too to get such a grand surprise," I said. I wanted her to taste it  a bit. What better way could I say this than by saying to her, "Let's celebrate  together, Christy."?
I was waiting for her to take the first spoon in  her mouth. As soon as she

 tasted it, she just jumped up, as if 
her chair was  charged with high voltage electricity! She rushed into the bathroom and came out  for a couple a minutes washing her face. 
She was a bit ashamed. She could not  find what to say. I tried to make things lighter. "Hey! That was a nice way to  pull pranks on friends. Why can't we play this on Matt, Uncle Fred and Rachel on  April fool's Day next time?" She was quiet for some time. "Mike, don't mind... I  gotta go, but I promise I'll be there on 
Fred's birthday with a 
real surprise  for ya." Before I could say her anything she went off. She

 arrived, we  celebrated and she went. It was like an hour of Hurricane Katrina that blew  something out of my brain.
I wanted to tell her about John. He's  arriving this evening. It's been almost three years since we met. I wanted to  take Christine to the airport to pick John, but I don't think she is going to  meet me again today. As soon as I finish off this post I will call Christy.  Let's see what happens next!
