What Is My Mother Thinking?

Today, my dad handed me a piece of paper, from my mom. It was a page torn from a magazine. (Click the image below for a larger view.)
It took me a bit to figure out what, exactly she was trying to say. My mind raced. Does she know something I don’t? Is she trying to tell me something?
Fortunately, on the flip side of this page is a recipe for some awesome-looking vegetarian chili, which is what she really wanted me to get.
I hope.
