Cooking as a lost art

Life hacks by Agnes.

She’s NOT a poet, and doesn’t know it!!

Ever notice that pudding only has “skin” when it’s put in little bowls? As a pie filling, it never does.

Follow me for more simple kitchen hacks

Her writing style is like that guy who wrote “On The Road.”

the proof is in the pudding. and the elmer’s glue…

a new Ramsey in the making

That poem would have made great Burma Shave roadside signs.

And don’t forget to bury the can in the trash

The skin that I’m eating is made of Elmer’s Glue?

It’s likely that I’ll upchuck, and it’s going all over you!

(⚆﹏ʖ ⚆)

Ogden Nash would be proud.

Agnes, tomorrow go directly to the teacher and turn in that poem, you will get an A+ in poetry…..

Their is no such thing as canned pudding. Pay no attention to the label; whjat’s inside bears little if any resemblance to pudding. It must be cooked!

But I no longer allow Her to do so; She lacks the patience for it. Turns the heat way up so it boils faster, with results in keeping with Aggie’s last line in panel 1. And there is nada, nil, zilch, zero, nothing, worse to try to clean out of a pan than burnt pudding! I have on occasion, quite literally, resorted to hammer & chisel. So, if there’s pudding to be made, I do the “medium heat, stirring constantly”.

Agnes waxes poetic. We need Trout’s analysis. :)

In the 70s we had Shake A Puddin’, which was easy to make

That sounds like something the food “processors” do all the time! Have you tried any of those meatless burgers yet! Agnes could have invented them!

Dislike! I love homemade pudding. Hot, too. Bread, rice, peanut butter, tapioca, etc. Mix fresh or canned fruit in as well.

The basic idea, using a prepared product instead of trying to make it yourself, is very sound — for Agnes (just think about the peculiar concoctions that she’s produced in her kitchen). But she lost me at the Elmer’s glue.

You are that old. Wow!

Best to never eat anything if you visit Agnes’ house.

Okay, this might be my favorite Agnes ever.
