Pickles by Brian Crane for February 18, 2010

You should have just left well enough alone, Opal.

I think I’m going to be sick.

How about some jelly beans

Catsup, mustard and pickle relish would make it yellow, red and green too.

Embrace the garnish…

^good one. I like Earl’s way of thinking. Of course, for me, everything goes with M&M’s.

But blue M&M’s? (I miss the old tan ones. But not enough to order 5 lbs. from their website with its 20 or so colors.)

(Doty: How about gravy on your ice cream?)

Nah, bad idea. I’ll finish my gravy on toast and then have the m&m’s for dessert.

Stuck in the gravy or gravy train.

Finally, some good advice from Opal.

Now that’s creative cooking!

Toast is made for butter and cream cheese…Gravy on toast ??? must be a southern thing…

I’m with you, Joe. Gravy on bread or toast is the best.

This is bad for my diet, I want some toast and gravy, Actually I like biscuits and gravy.

Now you talkin’ Gene! Especially sausage gravy!

Get your knives and go, Earl.

Gravy on toast is awesome!

Toast and gravy does sound good.

When I was a kid, we would sometimes have bread and gravy for supper… I don’t think any of us thought to toast the bread first.

Gene, you’re a man after my own clogged arteries…nothin’ better than biscuits & gravy…

Two questions: 1) Would Opal still go “blah” and “yuck” over a garnishless dish of biscuits and gravy? 2) What kinf of something red, yellow and green was Opal having in mind? Radishes, corn and peas?

Toast and gravy may taste good, and fill you up, but its not very nutritious.

I’d rather have gravy on my biscuits
