Funny, I always had a similar feeling when ordered by my step-mother to weed the flower garden. The plants were always soclosely bound to the weeds I couldn’t see where one left off and theother began.

I don’t know what’s going on here.

I’m guessing he’s allergic to one of them.

Looks like he’s committing suicide by garbage disposal.

At their age, he should have figured this out by now. For safety’s sake, eat on the way home.

I like garlic but if I eat too much of it I get an upset stomach.

I am allergic to both. I avoid them like the plague. Hard to do in most restaurants however.

I know a guy who, the first time he cooked with garlic, had a recipe that called for seven cloves. He didn’t know what a clove is, so he used seven head of garlic. His dog wouldn’t even eat what he’d been making.

Wait until she tries to use ramps.

They are a Southern vegetable/weed which look very similar to onions. (Some folks call them wild onions.) The smell is a noxious combination of onions and garlic, which permeates your entire body, You will reek for DAYS after eating them! My husband and his siblings got sent home from school after eating them the night before. Their father sent them back to school, and the staff made them sit in the auditorium – alone. Hubby said the entire room smelled bad for the rest of the year.

There’s no such thing as ‘too much garlic’

In the cartoon today we can just say it was too much of a good thing.

“I don’t understand why you children like Alice May Bush’s beans but not mine. I cook them the same way she does.”.“Mama what’s this?”.“A piece of onion.”.“Do YOU put onions in your beans?”.“No, I don’t like onions.”.“Out of curiosity, could you add them next time?”.She did and we ate every last one. From that time on, she cooked two pans, one with for us, one without for her. Same thing with her potato salad: onions in ours, boiled eggs in hers. I never could convince her we liked boiled eggs in potato salad too. It balanced out..Her closest sister died yesterday. Pancreatic cancer. Doped up to unconscious state to kill the pain the last few weeks. They REALLY need to learn to cure cancers.

Why is he the only one eating, where’s her plate?
