The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for January 16, 2021

How about a visit to the diabetes specialist ?

The smell of coffee makes me sick to my stomach. But pancakes and maple syrup do smell good. I also like the smell of charcoal briquettes before they are lit. And freshly baked yeast rolls.

pancakes good. steak better.

Well Brutus, sit down and dig in!

Brutus, I think she was hinting.

I prefer four jumbo fried eggs with ham and hash browns, on the side! Better yet, a full English!!

I’m surprised nobody’s mentioned bacon yet, but there’s nothing more wonderful than waking up to the smell of bacon frying – other than eating it.

Looks like The Born Loser is in a winning situation, for a change.

yum, pancakes with lots of syrup and a huge cup of coffee. :)

And bacon. Don’t forget bacon!

Except Bacon!

Time for me to buy a Lottery Ticket on the Day the Born Loser is a Winner!

I would still favor the coffee over pancakes, but I would do as Brutus did…and say I like the smell of pancakes better. To say anything less (“Nope, still prefer coffee”) would be to discount all of her hard work. I know he’s The Born Loser, but in this case he managed to say the right thing. Not necessarily a backwards compliment, maybe a sideways one.

You ought to go back to bed after this. It’s bound to go downhill as soon as you step outdoors.

Just had my first hot cup of coffee.

Had home cooked fried eggs and bacon.

Just started a crock pot roast. 8 hours on low.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! Whole house is going to smell good!

Before fasting, this used to be my Saturday breakfast. Later I switched to waffles which I could buy ready made from the Kroger. Their blueberry waffles are the best.

way better

Every now and then fortune smiles on all of us…..

French toast made with challah bread (soaks up the egg mix better), real maple syrup, breakfast sausage and bacon!!!

Brutus’s good fortune won’t last, he will soon get a call from Veeblefester telling him he has to come in to work on Saturday. An emergency tea cozy order has just come in.

That sure beats the cereal I had for breakfast this morning.

I’d say the smell of freshly BREWED coffee tops the smell of ground beans. Which reminds me, it’s time to brew some coffee.

Throw in some bacon and it will make up for your dreadful mother. :)

Yes.

I surprised no one has developed a coffee-flavored pancake syrup.

I’m gonna’ have to agree with Brutus’ first comment. Fresh ground coffee aroma is ACES!

Yes, you do stand corrected but in a moment you’ll sit corrected…
