Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for November 03, 2021

Jimbo, you could not smell the spices? You didn’t know that Rose puts extra spice in her cooking? Her mother does.

It is smart to head for the hills when Vicki shows up.

Jimbo, by now you should be able to handle hot.

Rose’s Tex-Mex chili has nothing in ‘heat’ compared to Indonesian ‘Fire-Food’, like Sambal. Just speaking as an ex-U.S. Navy sailor who has sailed around the world and sampled the cuisine while doing it.

It’s that bottle of habanero flavored capsaicin. Like Meemaw like Vicki.

Reminds me of the “The Cosby Show” episode where Claire tastes Cliff’s chili before its done…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C37Sikpp_Nw

I leave out heat when cooking, others eating have no tolerance. If I even wave dried peppers over the pot, they complain.

Good chili makes your forehead damp, great chili makes your eyeballs sweat!!

Then I know I won’t like it.

Recipe approved by Green Arrow of DC COMICS.

Vicki sneaks up on you as well.

I was just mentioning yesterday about how the artists/writers of this strip seem to have this fixation with nasty hot peppers.

Sneaking this horrible stuff into an unsuspecting person’s food isn’t funny, and shouldn’t be the source of humor.

Chili place I used to frequent had a couple dozen different flavors labelled with a 1-10 hotness. 7 was about right for me, 8 if I wanted to spice it up. Decided to try the 10 once. My first comment, “great, and not as hot as I expected.” Ten seconds later I could barely breathe and couldn’t talk.

Sounds scrumptious! May I please have some?

I like interesting flavors in my food (onion, garlic, oregano, even horse radish). What I don’t like, in spite of living for many years in Mexico, is chile – to me it’s all searing heat, not flavor that adds to my enjoyment of the food I’m eating.

VICKY, ! ! ! MY BELOVED Vicky finally, she returned ! Did I mention that I love Vicky ? !!!

The bolt of lightning, on the side of the pot, should have been a clear indication of the heat of the sauce. Both in temp and Scoville.

He should know to ask if she is using MeeMaw’s cookbook.

Note how Rose stirs with with her pinky daintily extended.
