The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for May 20, 2021

Is he throwing it under the table?…..

Wow, Gladys cooks eggplant parm from scratch?

Parmesan is not Parmigiano like Hot Dog is not “Cane Caldo”, I know: about Italian food I’m always pedant.

Three helpings today so there won’t be any leftovers tomorrow?? Makes sense to me — NOT!!

(- _ -)

I like it, but since I live alone, I don’t make it anymore. (doesn’t keep well in the fridge). It actually tastes better on the second day, though. All the flavors get a real opportunity to merge together…

There’s a boy who can plan ahead.

Eat it now or eat it tomorrow. You’re still going to eat it.

Here is how you play it, Wilberforce: keep throwing it over under Brutus’ seat.

Perhaps the eggplant needs to be topped with Kraft shredded cheese or Kraft singles for the win win. It seems to work that way in the commecials. But I contend that all vegetables need to taste better is butter.

Let’s face it Gladys, at least he’s cleaning his plate.;-D

Smart kid. Is he adopted by the way?

Gladys, be careful checking Wilberforce’s pockets before you put his clothes into the washing machine. Might get a yucky surprise.

smart: the kid’s logic

not smart: saying it out loud

Leftovers = food security (at least for one more meal)

Growing up, while not often, there were times when the food budget was rather thin.

Please remember your local food bank when making charitable contributions.

you could just ask her not to give you any.

Eggplant Parmesan is far better a stuffed Eggplant with hamburger meat – several various cheeses, mushrooms, diced bell peppers and tomatoes. Seasoned and Baked.

Happens every time – when I click on The Born Looser comic strip, it hangs up and then my tablet drops out!

The poor dog. :-O

Its probably better as a leftover in that the cheese flavors will have more time to work into the eggplant. I find many foods are like that. They get better with age.

Mom was not the world’s, but she did make a good eggplant parmesan.

The kid is thinking ahead…smart!

Wise beyond his years. If it wasn’t good the first time, odds are it won’t be any better reheated the next day….

Saw this just this morning:

You wake up from a long, refreshing nap and go looking for some whoopie… and your butt falls off. Now that is a Born Loser… ☺

But it’s always better the next day…

This strategy could backfire. Since you ate so much she assumes you love it and makes it again.

I’m not a big fan of Eggplant Parm…..however….add in a couple big lengths of mild Italian sausage and some extra red sauce and I will go to town.
