Pickles by Brian Crane for October 14, 2019

What if those brownies, Earl, are for Opal’s Relief Society (Latter-day Saint women’s group, people) get-together?

He’ll be in trouble if they’re Alice brownies.

It would be much funnier, IMHO, if half the brownies contained marijuana ‘supplements’ and Opal isn’t telling Earl which half.

Oh, drat. Now I’m gonna be tempted to make some fudge. With lots of walnuts in it. And eat it all.

If they are Barney Miller brownies, Earl’s gonna head to the beach to shoot some clams. Mooshy, mooshy.

I think that Brian Crane has never made fudge.

That looks more like brownies than fudge. You don’t bake fudge in the oven. But it’s a good day for baking brownies because today is National Dessert Day. Maybe I should bake some brownies.

I actually find fudge to be too sweet. Brownies now, or chocolate chip cookies are the way I prefer to consume baked (chocolate) goodies. With nuts, of course.

Just thinking about brownies or fudge makes ne gain weight!

Could be worse. When the holidays approached, my mom would bake small loaves of banana bread. One year, she had left a dozen of them on the cooling rack in the kitchen. My brothers and I were in the living room and Mom came in yelling at us. Dad came down the stairs and asked her what she was yelling about. Mom said, “They’re lying! They ate all the banana bread I had in the kitchen!” Dad’s response was awesome: “What? Do you mean those cupcakes? I ate them.”

Beer over fudge any day of the week ;-)

If Earl does eat all the brownies, Opal might put laxative in the next batch to get even.

emailing this to several people. :)

Why can’t you people go with the flow , Earl say’s it’s FUDGE.

A minute on your lips & Forever on your hips! ;^))

As the smell infiltrates his nose, he’s dreaming of diving in a pool of chocolate…. With or without nuts…..yummmy

Nuts!

Careful Earl. You know what eating chocolate anything does to old men.

I’m not a big brownie fan but fresh out of the oven …

My kind of solution!

Mom, and my wife made brownies with nuts. My silly kids picked them all out.

Holy moly, I googled “Opal’s Relief Society” and today’s date came up.

Just a matter of curiosity.

Wouldn’t make any difference.
