Pickles by Brian Crane for November 10, 2014

Um…how would a chicken be in a drawer or cupboard?

Did Earl have a midnight snack?

and then forget about it?

I think Earl is sleep eating. Poor Opal!

Dinner is in the dog…or cat

If she left it on the stove to cool overnight, that’s dangerously asking for trouble with pathogens, not from the dog or cat.

I’d check Roscoe’s breath.

There is no way a cooked chicken would make it through the night! Unless well hidden in the vegetable drawer of the fridge!

I remember after my first child was born, putting opened apple juice up in the cupboard in the middle of the night. It doesn’t happen to just OLD people.

Give it a few days……. the smell will let ya know

If you can’t find it where it’s supposed to be, look where it’s not supposed to be. Personally, I would like to believe in parallel universes that occasionally brush together and transfer things from one universe to the other, then some time later brush another time allowing things to return to the right universe, but Ockham’s razor discourages me.

She boiled a chicken to make soup? You roast a chicken, eat what you want/need, and then use the carcass to make soup. And if it’s as cold there as it is here, you might look on the back porch (assuming it’s closed in) or the floor of the car.

I put something in the refrigerator once that shouldn’t have been in there, but I’m so old and that was so long ago, I don’t remember what it was. True!

I think earl ate the chicken last night & isn’t going to tell opal.

Maybe she dreamed that she boiled the chicken and it’s still in the fridge.

And that’s Earl’s attempt at humour, everybody.

If it’s in the drawer, you’ve got a real problem, Opal!

“Well…it didn’t just get up and walk away!”..True story..My older sister liked tuna fish sandwiches..The problem was she would make them late at night when she was sleepy..I got up one morning to make breakfast and opened the fridge door..There was a can of tuna..I went to the cupboard for cereal..There was a opened jar of mayonnaise..

I think people are right. Earl just got up in the middle of the night and inhaled that chicken. Bones are in the outside garbage.

Lol!
