Cathy: No one's ever going to eat these beet greens. Can we move them along? Mrs. Hillman: Heavens, yes! After two weeks, the dark, bitter greens that are so good for us, but no one likes, should be moved to the middle of the center shelf! Then when we stand here searching for a snack, the vitamins can leap through the air, stick to our clothes and absorb into our skin! Nothing's wasted in mother's refrigerator. Mr. Hillman: On a bad TV night, we can get ten servings of veggie fumes!

SUSAN You have obviously never had leeches. They hook their suckers into you and leave you blood dry. Then they move on to other prey., Try leaving your brother’s number on the table.

Huh…and all this time I thought it was the beets themselves you ate and threw the greens out.
Someone’s trying too hard to be helpful and is being just trying!!

It DOES seem that the MIL is taking over. Two women can’t live in a house; if it’s the only way, get them an apartment- that’s a little to far away to walk. That’s what I did;-)

Beet greens? Why would anyone even buy them? Why would anyone buy them when nobody likes them and won’t eat them?
Vitamin fumes??? That’s not fumes filling out your lower halves lady!
Cathy should have shoved them both into the refrigerator in panel 3, and locked the door. I guess the antidepressants leave her without much energy, or ability to think quickly.
Nothing is “Mother’s” except that one dress she showed up in and never changes. She plans to slowly move you out of your own house Cathy, and live happily ever after with her useless, senile son.
(I’m laughing so hard, my little parrot is laughing too, and he doesn’t know why.)

Any kind of dark, leafy greens are fantastic for your health. It’s all in how you cook them, just like kale.
Yeah, the “Mother’s” reference drives me nuts. When my first child was born, my MIL kept calling her “my princess” and “my little girl”, and I would have to leave the room. Ugh, thank god she lives across an ocean.
LOL, MrsSkywalker!

Lightenup, Cathy said nobody is ever going to eat them, so my thought is, why would they buy them then?
I know what you mean, but at least your MIL showed interest and love toward your daughter, by claiming her as her own, even if it was in an annoying way. My Mother’s parents had 3 girls, who had 7 grandchildren. 3 girls and 4 boys (1 girl each, and 1 and 2 boys.) The boys never seemed to get any thought at all, and they felt it.

non non, love beet greens! Veggie fumes…I never bought that one. Cathy tried to rationalize that more than 20 years ago and you can see how that worked for her. The only thing here pas the best before date is the IL’s welcome!
