Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for February 26, 2014

i don’t think he’s “needed” at a hospital, he should be “admitted” there!!

I just don’t like cumin.

Your parents must be so proud.

lol

uh…

What the Heck is cumin?

No offense…But if I where her I wouldn’t want Nate breathing on my food.

“Yes, it’s The Great Nose-Ini – strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. The Great Nose-Ini – who can sniff out the ingredients of home-made soup, detect rare odors with his bare nose, and who disguised as Nate Wright, wild-haired student in a not-so-great metropolitan elementary school, fights a neverending battle for Truth, Justice, and American Cheese.”

Re: That hospital……Nahhhh…St. Elsewhere ended up being some autistic kid’s fantasy world inside a snow-globe. Young lady, perhaps your presumed “St.” is (drum roll please!): Elizabeth’s!!

yes I do

In all seriousness, being a “nose” in the perfume industry is a big-time job, and getting more complex every day, as more diverse ingredients are being incorporated into fine fragrances. Nate may want to be a cartoonist, but perhaps his future lies with Balenciaga, Chanel, or Jean Patou. (And that’s just the fine fragrance industry…consumer products like laundry detergent and dishwashing liquid need noses, too.)

BTW, for the record, I don’t like cumin, either (or cilantro), but I made my peace with those flavors some time ago, for one cannot have authentic Mexican or Indian food without them.

I’m afraid not little girl.

I wonder if Bellevue serves Cheez Doodles.

What’s chili without cumin? But I guess they forgot to use it, because I definitely trust the Great Nose-ini.

Cilantro is the plant, coriander the seed. It is a very important spice. http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=70Cumin is a different spice entirely. http://www.food.com/library/cumin-20I don’t like either. lol

What did that girl do to deserve the help from the great Nose-ini?

I have part of that skill, i can tell if food is good or not for everyone in my family

There might not be cumin in it, but I still don’t know if it’s 100% safe to eat. It’s from the same cafeteria where the cook had no idea what was in the chicken casserole, and it was green.

So let me understand: nate helped this girl when she thought she could have an allergic attack, yet he’s insane?

I wish Peirce wouldn’t do this
