Pickles by Brian Crane for March 28, 2024

Good question, Earl. Unfortunately, I don’t remember, either.

Does he remember the raisins but not the oatmeal as if the raisins were floating in air in his bowl.

I do – especially when I could have had bacon or sausages & eggs instead.

I might not remember the oatmeal, but that lump in my stomach is a sure-fire reminder.

If my wife told me she was going to make me oatmeal for breakfast, I would just politely tell her, “Don’t bother, I’ll make my own breakfast.”

His colon might remember the oatmeal later.

I have exactly the same breakfast about 5.5 mornings of the week. Sundays different. And most of the other the off mornings are the same but with a couple of added berries. It’s not oatmeal, but it might as well be. What’s great about it is that it’s reliably enjoyable, quite quick and with good nutrition. Counting the cool down on my tea, it takes about 10 minutes, maybe 15. I like it as I eat it, but I don’t remember that meal, I remember that I ate what I usually do.

Ceral or scrambled eggs with toast, depending on the mood, or a peanut butter jelly sandwich. I’m easy.

A great big bowl of steel cut oats, soaked in fresh buttermilk, cooked perfectly and finished with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, banana and walnuts… what’s not to forget??? One of my favorite breakfasts and well worth it!!

Better put lots of hot sauce in it tomorrow so he can remember.

I just had oatmeal yesterday with strawberries, raisins, strawberry jam, and peanut butter mixed in. I remember it quite well.

4th panel, that’s right I didn’t have have breakfast.

I’ll eat it hot with sugar and cinnamon, but no milk on it. Don’t care much for oatmeal, but I do like it dry right out of the container. Figure that.

Does he remember what they did last night?

Just this minute finished a big bowl of oatmeal. Unfortunately while cooking them and adding dried cranberries, a large clump fell into the pan. Going to be an interesting morning.

Earl gets up so early, it’s like another day to him…..LOL

Aw those senior moments.

We’re back to fat faces…… YAY

Never seen Opal flat on her back before.

A few slices of bacon next to that oatmeal can make a difference.

repeat? I vaguely remember this punchline, but maybe it was another strip. they all run together in my brain sometimes. funny the tricks your mind will play on you when you reach a certain age.

I get sick just thinking about Oatmeal, convulse about Cream of Wheat, don’t want to hear about what happens eating Farina. Bacon, bacon, sausage, pork chop, that’s breakfast!

It’s especially forgettable because Opal used water from the river Lethe to make it.

She should try flavoring it with a little rosemary.

Your bathroom schedule should remind you that you ate all that oatmeal.

I grew up on Oatmeal and Cream of Wheat, and still have them regularly. Add fruit and nuts, yum!

A 90-years man met a 85-lady in a restaurant, and liking her company and wishing to continue the relation asks her, “Excuse me, am I coming here often?”

If I’m not hungry, does it matter whether I ate or not?

When I make oatmeal, I open a can of peas in dump that in the oatmeal. What, haven’t you heard of peas porridge?

You lost him at, ´ big steaming´

Here, try this big steaming pile Roscoe left just now.

I liked oatmeal as a child. can’t stand it now

He must be referring to the rolled oats tasteless gluey mass; steel cut oats rock!

Make your own breakfast Earl. Then you’ll remember.

I could go for some oatmeal right now. And if I forgot I ate it, I could eat it again.

Sun, Mon Tue Thur Fri oatmeal or Cheerios depending on temperature, Wed and Sat egg days. Variety is the spice of life.

I knew Earl reminded me of someone ….Wilford Brimley known for Quaker Oats commercials, movies, TV, and being the true body double for Earl Pickles

I usually just have a protein drink at some point before lunch. I don’t usually follow any specific mealtimes. I eat when I get hungry.

I would remember oatmeal if it had some fruit in it.

Try baked oatmeal =)

Depends on how you make it! I make it healthy and delicious! Oatmeal raisin with a bunch of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves with vanilla. Bananas with walnuts a bit of brown sugar and some milk. Stew some apples first with some cinnamon sticks, set aside, add to cooked oatmeal. And the Colon Blow: raisins, cranberries, prunes (cut up small) and no sugar added, cut up dates with some walnuts — holy moly! yum!

Earl got a new shirt!

There are only two ways I’d remember eating oatmeal for breakfast: 1) oatmeal cookies; 2) Several oatmeal cookies, each with a scoop of ice cream on top. Otherwise, I’m not eating it.
