"Ambrosia"

       Son David:  (To Wife Connie starting lunch at the skilled nursing facility which is giving her help for her severely pained back)  How is that?

       Wife Connie:  (Speaking of the almost but not quite mashed potatoey looking orangish substance in front of her)  Ambrosia!

       David:  What's that?

       Connie:  (PAUSE)

       Me:  Heavenly repast.

       Connie:  Look it up on your iPhone.

       David:  (Doing so) "Food of the gods."  Hmm.  I didn't know the word and actually thought it might apply to some smoothly mixed together vegetable concoction.

       Connie and I:  (Wry silence.)

       Yup, "ambrosia," from ambrotos Greek for "immortal."
