Such sacrifice. It’s actually… quite touching.

Their favorite!!!

I’ll help! (Trips on a chalk line – dropping the casserole.) Oups! Guess we will have to order a pizza! Or burgers! How about cheese cake?!? (Grin!)

There a five-second rule on that?

Dirt clod? Ants here have a better taste. They get to the picanic baskets before I do!

This never happen with my mother. She is a great chef!

Learning how to push microwave buttons is an art in itself.

It’s all in the perspective. Cooks have one. Diners have another. The twain rarely agree.

She might want to scrap that recipe!

“famous”…judging by the reaction, I think she meant to say “infamous”…

Well I guess it’s pretty clear that pop didn’t marry that woman because she can “cook.”

The mom’s response reminded me of Jack Benny saying “NOW cut that out.” and Dave Coulier as Joey Gladstone on Full House, saying, “Cut … it … out” with pauses and hand motions.

I remember as a kid some nitwit told me spaghetti was white worms and horse blood. I am still a bit shaky at the pasta bar.

Dirt clod casserole …..I suppose the clods get stuck in your teeth…

A down-home style meal prepared by a genuine “Earth Mother”.

I wonder if Mrs. Ant and Foxtrot’s Andi have the same cookbook.

The moral of the story is, “You better shop around”…..

You can always go raid the Classic Peanut’s cartoon world – they love mud pies there!

Son, let’s see what you have on speed deal.

My mother was rather territorial in the kitchen. Once I was starting to make soup out of some leftover meat and veggies. I had water about to boil in a saucepan when she came into the kitchen. She dumped the water in the sink and put cold water in a kettle and plugged it in. I was not doing it right! I never tried to cook anything in her kitchen after that.

His other option was eating with Billy the dung beetle!

Beto’s favorite dish.
