Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for February 18, 2018

I know it’s a comic, and comic strip characters can’t get sick or poison themselves….

but I can’t believe Janis would spray clouds of chemicals right where they’ll fall into an open pot of food!

NOTHING edible smells that horrible when cooking.

If those shrimp actually smell putrid, they’re rotten… throw them out NOW.

Otherwise, shrimp smell fishy, cabbage smells…well…. cabbage-y… etc… but those are natural food odors….

they’ll calm down when the food is done.

Get over it, or walk away.

Go outdoors, or into a room where you can open a window.

Later you can simmer some cinnamon sticks or lemon peel if you can’t air out the kitchen.

If you must use air fresheners, I’m sure the packaging, even on so-called “non-toxic” ones, warns about spraying it directly into your food!

Besides, to my nose, artificial, sweet scents like tropical mango are way worse than food odors.

Yuck.

Sorry to be today’s curmudgeon….

but this looks so dangerous!

Agree w/ SunnySusan… food smells mo’bettah, than stinky canned fragrance, and I’m sure don’t add to the nutritional profile. Nice that Janis wants to get in the tropical Key West Jimmy B vibe… but ixnay the volatiles… most def a buzzkill.

Evolution was against the arctic mango.

It’s the Old Bay that puts off that Aroma! Ahh! The Best thing to shake off Winter Blues!

I think it’s the singing that’s creating the toxic odors.

I was going to have a Bloody Mary for breakfast, but for some reason I now feel like having a Margarita. “Hey Ma! Any Tequila left in the pantry?”

Driving Arlo to a frozen concoction.

It’s OK, Arlo; not even Jimmy Buffet leads the Jimmy Buffet life.

Nice try Janis, but I’m with Arlo on this one.

Nice try Janis, but I’m with Arlo on this one.

Open a couple of windows later and the food smells won’t linger. Burn a pinch of coffee grounds on the burner. Light a fricken candle. Put the can in the trash.I’m thinking Arlo should eat the shrimp himself and NOT share.But then again it is only a ’toon!

What song are those lyrics from?

If you’re not cooking you’re staying out of the kitchen. Unless there’s a hug in there somewhere.

As Justin Wilson used to say “Throw some lemons and wine in dat boilin’ water to make them shrimp smell more better, taste more better too”

I was just wondering how many people actually have one of those hats? And actually wears it?
