Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for July 11, 2021
Transcript:
Cathy: ...Sixteen! What did you get? Irving: What did I get for what?? Cathy: What did you get for your crouton calculation? Irving: My what?? Cathy: When your salad arrived, and you visualized all the croutons laid in flat rows, how many did you calculate would equal one piece of bread? Irving: Why would I do that? Cathy: So you'd know how many croutons you could eat! Irving: Why couldn't I eat all my croutons? Cathy: Because as soon as you eat enough croutons to equal two pieces of bread, you'll feel terrible! Irving: Because then your SALAD has o count as a SANDWICH! Cathy: NO!! A salad NEVER, EVER, EVER, counts as a sandwich!! It doesn't matter HOW MANY croutons you eat! Irving: I give up. Saleswoman: Masters of so many complex sports......Yet they'll never really understand the rules of "salad".

This is where Cathy Guisewite is best; Playing with the different outlooks on things by male & female!

Just pour a thick layer of dressing on them, and you’ll never know.

According to the information on my croutons packages, a handful of croutons is way more fattening than a slice of bread. A half dozen flavored croutons, (the big kind), has 300 to 400 calories. I think they’re made with lots of butter and lard or something.

Salad has “rules”!? Not my salad! My salad is a wild lawless vegetable rebel.

I don’t know why, but always, when I was making a salad, it had to always contain fresh spinach.

Poor Irving. He really thought he had it there for a minute…

Salad is something you have to eat so your wife feels like you are eating something healthy – even with croutons and a rich salad dressing.
lindz.coop Concert???? Wow. Still not allowed here although some of the restaurant patios have live entertainment in the evening. Evidently our restaurants can finally open for inside eating this coming Friday – that and cinemas and concerts with capacity limits. It was a thrill last night to get an ice cream cone and walk on the boardwalk. I think that is the furthest I have been from home in months.
Really hazy out today – the north breeze is bring a lot of smoke from the forest fires. No fires close to us thankfully.Enjoy this beautify Sunday.

Personally, my approach to dining?
1. Brain off … 2. Eat!
Probably way too simple for THESE two, though …
HI, MOM. Happy Sunday, “Cathy” Clan.

I have to give Irving credit for coming up with the sandwich idea. I personally had no idea where Cathy was going with this.

Food perverts are wearing out their welcome.

Just make it easy and skip the croutons…I’d much rather have some avocado or egg or something with good fat than to eat fried bread.

Are these the same two that work in the department store?
