The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for June 05, 2024

As someone who’s had plenty of eggs himself, nope!

Are you sure that Gladys made that egg salad and NOT ….. Mother Gargoyle??!!

;-)

Be careful not to criticize. She’s using her mother’s recipe.

Gladys invented a new dish…, Egg salad al dente.

Egg salad the way grandma used to make it.

Guess the recipe left off “remove shells”.

Extra calcium, it’s extra crunchy…you’ll love it!

Crunchy!!!

It’s the onions..

Calcium, good for your bones.

It’s about the same when ever I’m having a bowl of clam chowder, I always manage to bite intoa bit of sand . . . Nothing like enjoying a part of the beach with your lunch !

It is an eggshell salad.

She found the recipe on the back of a cereal box. Captain Crunch.

What came first, the chicken salad or the egg salad?

…and is it supposed to move between the slices of bread?

Brutus is shell-shocked…

No Brutus there’s not supposed to be .

unless it’s an eggshelled salad sandwich instead. :D

Don’t worry, Thorny, it’s all part of the “Paleo” diet.

Gladys is just trying to help Brutus. She figures you need a bit more calcium in your diet.

My brother raises chickens, and gives me eggs. I save the shells for him – he feeds them to his chickens. Recycling is good…

Sounds like Gladys is into a new diet fad. It helps you lose weight by killing your appetite it’s also long lasting by lacerating your esophagus.

But Brutus – Eggshells add good Fertilizer and helps keep acidity in check. Maybe even helps clean teeth. Un Huh. But not the whole boiled egg still in shell Glady’s. Oh, how we reap what we sow.

Relax, Brutus. Gladys is trying out that new hi-protein egg salad.

Brutus doesn’t like that crunchy texture ?

Be happy the eggs were at least cooked.

It’s supposed to have shells. That shows it’s fresh!!!

No, there aren’t, Brutus.

Food trends say food textures are a thing

Just take them out and look happy……….

Truly hilarious the first frame alone almost gave me a coffee spit take! Gladys was just trying a recipe she got from the diner!

I’m not much of an egg person. They’re okay, but I haven’t fully developed an appreciation for them. The Philly Steak omelet at IHOP is pretty good, though.

Right out of the Cauldron Quick Meals Cookbook. Recomended and endorsed by the Bat House Keeping Seal of Approval.

When Gladys makes it, yes.

Oh jeez. That almost makes me sick. Poor Brutus. No wonder the raccoons won’t eat that stuff.

No there are not unless you have some vitamin/mineral deficiency. I’m sure it was just an oversight on the part of Gladys. He, who is without sin, (Or in this case one who has never made a mistake cooking) cast the first stone/complaint. Sounds appropriate unless there is more to the story……

Egg salad with the shells included sounds like something Grizelda the Ghastly Gourmet from The Hilarious House of Frightenstein (syndicated kids’ TV show from the early 1970s which starred, among others, Vincent Price) would have whipped up.

the staff at the akasaka, tokyo restaurant seemed nonplussed when i complained that egg drop soup didn’t usually feature egg shells. they really seemed not to understand why i was griping about the extra ingredient, just like the waiter in hong kong who seemed puzzled when i noted with some displeasure that he’d served tea all over my leg…
