Lieutenant Columbo: Sorry to bother you at a time like this. May I come in?
Larry:You are in.
Lieutenant Columbo: My wife and I were watching Prime Time and saw the interview with your son,Jerry.
He seems like a good kid.
Larry: Yes.
Lieutenant Columbo: You know, the wife and I love watching television with a nice bowl of chili and saltines and ketchup.
Larry: My wife hated ketchup, Lieutenant.
Lieutenant Columbo: She hated it? How about chili with some chunky meat?
Larry: My wife was a vegan, Lieutenant.
Lieutenant Columbo: I see. Sorry to bother you. (starts to exit)
Larry: Good day, Lieutenant.
Lieutenant Columbo: Oh and one more thing. My wife would like to cook healthier meals, how do vegans replace the chunky meat in chili. What should I tell my wife?
Larry: Soyrizo is good.
Lieutenant Columbo: One more thing. Your wife... she really doesn't like ketchup?
Larry: No.

Anyone with any info about the whereabouts of GiGi please contact:
My parents loved Columbo! Thanks for the flashback. And you have his affects down pat! Nicely done... hope you are found soon...
ReplyDeleteGiGi's parents loved Columbo too. I hope he finds GiGi soon too. Thank you for helping to find GiGi.
DeleteIf GiGi turns up, congratulate her on being nominated in VegNews. I voted for her!
DeleteThank you from the bottom of GiGi's family's heart :)
DeleteSo who made the recipe if GiGi is missing? Did Colombo make it and send back photos?
ReplyDeleteYes, Veggie Amanda Columbo followed Lary's recipe instructions and whipped up this recipe for his wife.
DeleteVeggieAmanda makes a good point! This is all looking very suspicious... I'm wondering if Jerry locked her in a steamer trunk as payback for all of the years they spent doing ventriloquist tours... Who's the dummy now?
ReplyDeleteBahaha. Cadry, Jerry Loves his MOMMY! but true those tours could have worn his brain out. I would give your tip to the proper authorities.
DeleteThe ketchup thing is weird. But the Columbo thing is great.
ReplyDeleteMy mommy hated ketchup. Hope Mr. Columbo finds her. Thank you for helping FF.
Deletei remember at saturn how gigi got a taste of ketchup and she was like 'eww'...
ReplyDeleteYes, you are quite right, Kendy!!
DeleteI'm still getting over the not liking ketchup part! *gasp*
