Well, Cheesecake finally got up off the couch. She might be good for something after all. Maybe she is called Cheesecake because she cooks… and, Auntie Bellum actually speaks!
I had to look up what a Monte Cristo is. I don’t think they are common in Canada. It seems there are variations, but it’s basically a ham and cheese sandwich dipped in egg and fried in a pan. Here is a picture:
Still no hint as to why Major Crimes Unit would have any interest in this. Normally I’d love a slow buildup and reveal, but with the time constraints on the strip my fear is that, once the criminal activity is revealed, things may have to go stupid real fast.
The whole unseen Auntie has a “Norman Bates’ mother” vibe to it, screaming ‘gimmick.’ Like we’ll get a Sunday reveal and see her as Yeti’s mother, brewing up poisons, or something similar.
I wonder how long it’ll be before the Trib management decides to erase the drugs from the story, and her addiction will be retconned to being hooked on chocolate instead.
Hmm…maybe the unseen “Auntie Bellum” was born before the Civil War! LOL (Just kidding – but we have had characters who were considered to be very long-lived before, such as Perenelle Flammel and Mr. Am.)
A day’s-worth of domestic bliss among the certified weirdos. Auntie’s hearing seems to be pretty good. Cheesecake is, as one might expect, quite touchy-feely.
Still not clear what’s up other than “candy” intake….

Is Cheesecake’s resemblance to Sparkle Plenty going to figure in the plot? (Or is it just the artist being careless?)

So I see the “candy” come on a little baggie…

Now either sing the song from Willy Wonka, or say his name five times.

Are you sure you want to trust a seeming cocaine addict around a stove?

Cheesecake’s “candy” habit must not be too extreme yet. Candyman and Auntie Bellum trust her to cook for them?

Cheesecake looks like a cross between Sparkle and Frankenmindy….better hope Junior isn’t involved in this case!

1- NARKY MARK: SANTA’S HOME! Have you been a good girl?
2- POWDER NOSE: You tell me… * NARKY MARK:* I know you’d love me even if I didn’t get drugs for you, right? POWDER: Huh? Oh, yeah. Fer sure, baby.
3- POWDER: You get comfortable, Narky while I cook up my drugs. NARKY: I saw on TV that most users just do it with a lighter and a spoon.
POWDER: I call those people are AMATEURS!

A deep-fried version is sometimes called a ‘monte crisco’.
