Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 22, 2014

Quite right, Pig; kids belong in the microwave.

I’ve never heard it referenced that way, it’s always been “a bun in the oven.”

That’s why so many people are half-baked.

Would it be funnier if there was a goat child in said cooking apparatus?

@BLUSKIES “FETA”? Don’t you mean “PETA”?

i wonder if the kid has one of those red indicators that pop out when it is done?

Pig is a great-hearted soul, with no brain to match.Congratulations, Neighbor Bob and Mrs. Bob!

For once, that dumb Pig is correct.

Anyone seen Goat lately?

And you’re getting dumber, by the day Pig

Literally speaking,….

Cook the kid a la Brazilian Cabrito – charcoal grilled whole baby goat marinated with chimichurri and fresh rosemary.

I suppose the kid cost less than lamb.

DirectionsMix smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle some of the spice rub inside the cavity of the kid. Separate the skin from the breast meat with your fingers, starting at the top of the breast and sliding to the right and left, then working down. Massage some of the rub onto the meat under the skin. Sprinkle the remaining rub on the kid’s skin. Place the kid on a sheet tray and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight or up to 24 hours so the flavors can marry.

Set a rack at the lowest position in the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Remove the kid from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Tie the legs together and tuck the arms under. Place the kid in a roasting pan. Drizzle the outside of the kid with a few tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast the kid about 3 hours, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165 degrees F. Transfer the kid to a platter, cover loosely with foil and let rest 30 minutes before carving.

What’s wrong with putting a kid in the oven? (On second thought, that’s too cute to eat.)

I’ll bet Bob’s wife is an old crone and they live in a gingerbread house.

I used that phrase once. A bakery van pulled up to a store across the street to make a delivery and a pregnant woman got out and took the product into the store. So I remarked that something was in the oven at the bakery.

Wow, hate much?

I couldn’t agree more, Pig.

Yo! Ooi! Hi! The seed that flowered into Stephen becoming the Scheherazade of a 1001 Puns in Three Panels can be traced back to Dilbert Classics today or for those who like going through archives the strip for 6/28/91. ..The horror…the horror…Oh, the humanity…A day that will live in…

The metaphor usually refers to “a bun” in the oven.

My compliments to Mr. Patsis – sometimes “pro-life” is simply “pro-pearl” – right, gentlemen? and I do mean “pro”… Mr. Foley.

Howdy TM:

Which ones? ;-)

To markjoseph125: Maybe I’ve missed something more vehement in exoticdoc2’s comments in the past, but today’s comment was about as benign as one can get while still expressing anything resembling an opinion.

YOUR comment, on the other hand, is worded in such a way that expresses extreme contemptuous dislike not only of exoticdoc2, but of all of Christianity. Your argument may have logical and scientific merit, but you presented it anything but a logical and scientific manner. You made it personal.

So to answer your final question, I’d say that between the two of you, that makes you the hater.

I’m a kid!

I presume my comments on King features sites weren’t why they shut them down, right? Otherwise we’d all be in a blacksite somewhere…

If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the oven!
