Dear Groucho,

Cassie here and I hope this is something you can help me with.

We have not had any take-out Chinese food since the Fourth of July weekend. I really like chicken from our favorite Chinese take-out place. We usually have some about once a month. Meowm cuts up some of the chicken and serves it to me in my glass dish. That is some yummy chicken. Meowm enjoys the rice and vegetables, and not having to cook. I really like when she decides to get some for us. She gets the larger size because that is enough for supper, plus she takes the left-overs for her lunch at wurk. I am not certain why we have not gotten any for these past few weeks. Could you please advise her to bring home some Chinese take-out food soon?

Thank you very much,
Cassie

[Meowm here. Our local Chinese take-out has been closed for a few weeks. The family that owns it went to China for a wedding and family reunion. They must have just gotten back, because the lights were on in the restaurant when I drove past there on my way home from work yesterday. The other popular local place has changed hands and they are revising some of their recipes. I don't like the new changes so I've been waiting for the first one to reopen.]
