And I didn't even get to the cheese course. :-) Just wait until she discovers the Eighth Wonder of the World, "squeaky cheese," a Midwest phenom- enon I will not attempt to describe because I would have to relive the experience. The episode of "Mr. and Mrs. King move to Iowa" I'd like to write is when they go on a road trip and have to eat American road food. Crowns and robes or not, I'd like to describe the scene as they hit their first Denny's: Da Queen: "What ees zis 'Patty Melt?'" Waitress: "It's a patty melt, honey. An open-face hamburger covered with beans and chili with cheese melted over the top. Ya want freedom fries with that?" Da Queen: "Just ze water, please." You really did hit the nail on the head with this rap, Curtis. It's going to be a ZOO.
