Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for January 31, 2012

“What is it?” You wouldn’t want to know.

Alix: “You don’t know what you cooked and you’re serving it to me?!”

whenever i cook i tell to my family same as holly is saying…..lol

I like to know what I’m eating, too!!!

Holly, you’re beginning to sound like your mom! This is the beginning of the end! ;-)

Holly, I’m sure you can cook better than that. Remember, YOU have to eat it too!

It’s probably edible but looks odd. A lot of early cooking attempts do that. My oldest son’s first attempt at nanaimo bars was — entertaining. But tasty. And the last few blueberry pancakes in the recipe are usually green, omelettes never look as neat and tidy as the recipe book shows, etc.

Mom told her to cook twice a week. Mom should eat seconds twice a week. Clean your plate Mom.

Mom goes through the drive through and eats on her way home.

“But what IS it?”

TRYYY it, you’ll LIIIKE ittt……….

Alix: " My name’s not Mikey!"

Aha! Note “while I’m gone” not “Now that I’m gone”….

@harebell: nice catch!

I’m becoming convinced that Evie’s storyline is going to be much ado about nothing.

i learned my way around the kitchen as a form of self defence. after a time mac n cheese with hot dogs gets old. my first (successful) pot roast was ambrosia.

It looks…healthy.

I love the look on mom’s face in the back of the 3rd panel!

Try beans on toast or corned beef hash. That’s low budget British cuisine.

What is that green mush? How long has Holly been so mollycoddled? Are these realyy questions we really want the answers to?
