Happy Friday, folks! It's breakfast time in Caelune, with dark charcoal-rye bread sammiches, wraps, crunchy-soft vegetable copato cakes and a whole lot of fresh cacao juice :3 I hope you guys are able to get some good breakfast foods wherever you're at!
I was actually wondering if it would be Jinn this morning or not, based on last weeks strip. I like Mikes solution, but I'm not sure I like Mikes solution.
My wife's Italian. She corrected me within seconds of me saying "expresso" and other common mispronounced Italian words - and don't you DARE call here "Eye-talian"...
(I have a tonne of respect for Mr. Skelton, as well as another "red" - Mr. Redd Foxx...)
Same here, though Mr. Foxx's stand up isn't very family friendly! the "Caffeine Express" was an obscure Rowan & Martin Routine that I always liked, but it seems like I'm the only one who remembers it!
I also have several Italian friends, all of whom have shown me the error of my ways for cooking Mac & Cheese, and I now have 5 different recipe's for a Carbonara sauce (depending on the Meat). Sorry Kraft, you're out!
My wife LOVES my KD and REAL Mac & cheese (actually expensive to make). Comfort food is comfort food, and sometimes your body just craves that orange sauce.
Oddly enough, there is a shortage of Classico brand Alfredo sauce in Canada right now. Apparently the company had to re-tool their production back in May, and focused on the tomato-based sauces as they sold better than the cream-based ones. I well know that an Alfredo sauce is ridiculously easy to make from scratch (and cheaper, and you control your ingredients) but if you don't have the time, inclination, or skills to cook from scratch, it's kind of a bummer.
I learned butter, milk, real cheddar, a dash of salt, you make a way better cheese sauce. I was also taught what magic you can do with it beyond just the basic! for instance, a small can of green chili's for a queso, or little smokies...
I still keep the boxed stuff around because it will survive a nuclear war, but fresh is a gazillion times better, even when you are just "craving the orange".
Don't overfeed him, guys, Mikey might end up in a food coma XD But I love how they're all so supportive of Mikey, he really wants to be there for Nemi no matter what.
(Also Mikey in that first panel... geez... pls get some sleep after all this :,D)
...so supportive...
@alt text: would be nice =)
@R/N: thank you for the yummy link...
Have a good weekend, and breakfast! :D
By the way, if you need inspiration for food, I offer my services as a connoisseur of regional food from all over the place ;)
Expresso anyone?
(Red Skelton once said "A joke isn't funny if you have to explain it", my apologies!)
