2nd last panel: When there are children in the house, that’s what it always looks like. Protip: the best stuff to clean the screen is anti-reflection lens cleaner you’d use on your eyeglasses, available at any optical outlet. Makes an appreciated stocking stuffer too.
I’ve still got the Betty Crocker cookbook my mother received as a wedding present in the 1950s. You can tell which were our favorite recipes by the grease and goop stains on the pages… the peanut butter cookie page is almost illegible. : ) It was a visit to Greenfield Village that probably saved the book from complete ruin. At the Susquehanna Plantation, the guide pointed out that a cookbook was a precious possession in those days, and explained that a recipe would be copied out onto a chalkboard for use in the kitchen, keeping the cookbook safely out of harm’s way. I decided then and there to adopt that practice, but not before our cookbook had accumulated decades worth of “traces of love.” My mom’s favorite Christmas recipe was Lebkuchen, it smelled heavenly as it was baking. Correct or not, she told me it meant “love cooking,” and that’s how I like to think of the old, stained cookbook.
Toronto2: Didn’t Alex Graham (creator of Fred Basset) also do a Punch strip called Man in Kitchen which included “handy household hints” like that? (Probably pre-Saran)
I just hope he wasn’t cooking raw meat or eggs…..One cooking tip I’ve read for using an iGadget in the kitchen is to use a baby carrot like a pointer (it keeps the screan sanitary) and then toss the carrot when done. .And yeah, my cook books all stay back from the possible messes, I tend to type in and save my favorite recipies and then print out a page that I can toss if they get messy. It’s also handy for sending copies to friends that want them.

Maybe he’s got the mirror angled so it’s directed at the TV in the den? Just do like we did and get a TV for the kitchen. :-)

I thought maybe it was her iPad… on a stand or in a case…
And he’s using a recipe on a website….. and getting food all over the screen.
Maybe that’s what thebird meant too…. but he(?) didn’t say what of hers.

He might be watching Mo Rocca’s cooking show.
