Southern Food Tweet I was thinking of food that seemed to be very regional but don’t go together. Black-eyed peas followed by Blue Bell Ice Cream? Now THAT’s magic!
Gambling on the Diet Tweet I know Keno is a game, but I don’t even know how it’s played. I could look it up, but I hate going to all that work.
All Seated on the Ground Tweet Unfortunately, not enough people are familiar enough with the Biblical narrative for this joke to work anymore.
Saus for Sale Tweet This was based on an actual sign seen at a gas station near my house. Wind plays havoc with our signs around here (and everything else). I was surprised, though. how long it took them to correct the error.
Now Thats’a Thanksgiving! Tweet This occurred to me while I was driving around one day, trying to think of a Thanksgiving cartoon. Maybe I passed a pizza place. I don’t remember.
Thanksgiving Do’s and Do’nuts Tweet When this came out in the paper, it was a week before Thanksgiving, which means it shows up on-line on the actual holiday. That was not on purpose. I was just too lazy to read a calendar until it was too late.
Kale Sera Sera Tweet We had some kale chips recently that were actually pretty good. My wife tried to make some at home and, while tasty, just couldn’t get them as crisp as the store-bought ones.
Foodies Tweet Every restaurant in our town claims to have won the award for “best pizza joint” or “best Mexican food” or whatever last year. Either there are a lot of awards going out, or someone’s lying.
Meet Taco Meat Tweet Inspired by my brother, who ordered a taco at a local fastfood place only to be told they were out of taco meat. He asked them if they couldn’t just crumble up one of their hamburger patties and put it in a taco shell. They declined.
Bananaesque Tweet Based on an actual bag of “banana chips” purchased at a local health food store. I ate them because, well, I’m a snacker, but they had almost no flavor and weren’t exactly crunchy.
