Last Saturday night, I was cooking for my mother’s birthday. I decided on something easy, traditional, & lovely. I roasted a immense chicken, made mashed potatoes from scratch & braised some asparagus in a delicious butter sauce. I also baked breakfast rolls from scratch! Needless to say, it was pretty hot in the dining room with the oven & the stove going. Unblessedly, the heat was compounded by the fact that my air conditioner had given out earlier that morning! I woke up in a sweat & peeled off my covers, my mind racing as to what could have caused the Heating, Ventilation, & A/C plan to deliver out the previous night. I had gone to bed with it nice & cool in my room & the air conditioner blasting with no apparent concerns. I wondered if I could call an Heating, Ventilation, & A/C corporation to see if a service specialist could be sent out that legitimately Saturday afternoon. I did not imagine that legitimately many people would want to be going out on a Saturday on a service call. Worst of all, my mother & some other family members & a friend would be going to see my apartment for breakfast! It’s not appreciate it would be easy to pack up all the food & bring it to someone else’s arena. So I had to resign myself to slaving away in the heat of my dining room. There was no relief from the air conditioner at all. The Heating, Ventilation, & A/C service specialist would not be able to come until Saturday. I called ahead to explain to my guests that it would be quite hot. In the end, at least there was a breeze late that afternoon & I was able to ventilate the apartment to get it at least somewhat bearable as the people I was with and I enjoyed breakfast. Everybody was legitimately gracious & they were simply thankful to get a great home-cooked meal & fellowship with 1 another.
