The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for August 13, 2024

Grab the sugar bowl and make sugar cookies out of them.

Baked oatmeal, no thanks.

Good for your health, Brutus.

This is grounds for divorce if you ask me….

YUMMMMMM…..not

And we’re having steak tonight but a meatless meal. Un Huh.

The cookies would probably taste a little flat without any sugar.Time for a quick trip to Dairy Queen in my book.

Too bad she didn’t add raisins. You don’t need sugar if you have something else sweet in the cookie. Many desserts have way too much sugar and it could easily be cut down by at least half or more. I make banana bread without any added sugar and it’s very good.

She might forget her head if it wasn’t attached.

He might forget to eat them.

Break out the milk and you got breakfast cereal.

Ewwwww

Lonely feeling deep inside, find a corner where I can hide, silent footsteps crowding me, sudden darkness but I can see, no sugar tonight in my cookie, no sugar tonight in my tea.

Eww!

I want to rinse my mouth out just thinking if that!

This will leave a bad taste in his mouth. On the other hand there’s that door that won’t stay open.

dip ‘em in sugar…

Aw . . . what the heck , your heart was in the right place Gladys .

Not to worry Gladys, I’ve done something similar. Like forgetting to put yeast in the bread dough and trying figure out why it didn’t rise.

maybe dunking them in coffee would help make them taste okayish… :J

I would throw some honey on them, if concerned for my health, cheese and jam, covered in honey if I weren’t.

Now, to be far, I’ve heard of oatmeal cookies with no sugar because something else was used, like carrots. But, to just forget the sugar is a real problem.

Julia Childs she is not. Hey get some butter and jam. They will save the day with a cup of coffee….

All it is, is baked oatmeal…

Just call them bannocks.

Been there, done that, have the T-Shirt. The wife made a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving one year and forgot the sugar. It is now known as Pucker Pie in the family instead of pumpkin pie.

Hopefully she didn’t confuse salt for sugar. Which would be on brand for Gladys’s culinary “expertise.” Better be careful on that first bite Brutus.

Well, since they’re sugar-free she can use them as dog biscuits.

I bet they get thrown in the garbage. Oatmeal cookies without sugar and raisins. Not good.

So something you’re custom to expect from her.

“Gladys, turn in your apron!”

Dog biscuits

Well, those might as well have gone straight in the trash.

I recall a comedian looking at the ingredients of something made of oatmeal – and listing all the bad ones to encourage you to eat the one good one – oats

So, Gladys doesn’t have the best taste.

He will eat them.

If it had raisins or something, I’d probably eat em.

Dunk them in honey? Pancake syrup? Cover them with ice cream? (Let it melt in a little.)

just pretend they’re mcdonald’s fries and dip them in ketchup… ☺

Okay, she isn’t being quite as kind as you thought, Brutus. Try the cookies anyway, because you can’t lose. If you don’t like them, you’re justified in saying so. If you do like them, you’ve found a new healthier treat, and Gladys can feel proud of herself.
