Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 23, 2015

Ah herd tell of this outfit, if’n ya complained ‘bout the cook’n ya’ll was the new cook.

They are probably eating beans anyway… the proper compliment or rating for beans is the gas factor; as in the ‘Blazing Saddles’ campfire scene.

I think I heard a discouraging word.

The trail dust, although heavily laden with the taste of the ubiquitous bovine excrement, held a light note of crushed sage, which this reviewer found excellent.Still, since it was trail dust, I had to give it only one star.

What ever happened to that guy named Stew?

Wait just a minnit! Is that…Guy Fieri?!

Cooks taste like chicken.

When the meal is mostly beans, do you really want it to “sing”?

a phew!

Cilantro tastes like soap to me….apparently its a genetic thing…….

Cook/gourmand conflicts are the least of their worries. They’ve somehow wandered into the desert, and their cattle will likely die.

New York has a sizable Hispanic population. One would think they could make a pretty good picante sauce.

Maybe they are desperate for a monotony breaker?

“It’s ALL hooey.”Well, wines do have flavor and it is not all the same flavor for all. There are some definite dimensions to the flavor of wine (just as there are to most everything, except maybe tofu): body, nose, acidity, and finish being the most obvious. You have to have some kind of language to describe those elements (and others), just as you would to describe anything you taste. That said, it is ALMOST all hooey; with a very considerable amount of social posturing thrown in.

Yay! After some effort, I located one of my favorite bits from Gary Larson’s Halloween special, Tales from the Far Side! Start at 19 minutes, 18 seconds athttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c034jVT8bHA , and you’ll see something else you have to watch out for while sitting around the campfire.

The episode that follows also features singing around the campfire at the “Dead Ranch” (for those who are through with breakfast).

At least he didn’t try to make them use salsa from… New York City!

What?! No mention of the scene from Blazing Saddles? What’s with you people :)

If you can’t do -criticize !

I believe cilantro lovers should carry their own seasonings.

I have studied photos from that time and place (and own some Erwin Smith originals – when I had a book store, his sister was a regular customer), and in none of this did the cook wear chef’s garb..Fairportfan2: From a TV commercial by a company in Camden, NJ. My choice is from a wide spot in the [state] highway called Telephone, TX (Fannin County, if your map is good enough to show it).

Love the buzz words! Like the decorating shows with “pop”.

Reminds me of Paladin in “Have Gun Will Travel.” Besides being a hired gun, he was a gourmet.

@ Superfrog: Sky’s lookin’ a mite cloudy too…

@ Varnes: He disappeared after Chuck went to ground…

I’m a fellow cilantro-hater and I own this shirt:

argythree: Or maybe a rolling pin from the biscuits, in a threatening pose.
