The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for March 25, 2021

That’s my menu…..

That’s what kids like when they are in hurry to leave the table.

I wonder what he really wants.

Is Wilberforce looking to get an extra helping of desert, perchance??

;-)

Following instructions is so hard!

Now that’s a compliment.

Looks like Gladys upped her game from Banquet to Pepperidge Farm. Add a King’s Hawaiian dinner roll, Sarah Lee dessert, and she’s all set. Besides, how many ways can one dress up chicken pot pie anyway?

Soon enough, she’ll be able to boil water.

He won’t be saying that tomorrow when Gladys makes a home cooked meal.

Third time’s the charm. After the first two attempts, she read the directions. On the third try, she removed the foil packaging seal. Tada, culinary perfection!.

Isn’t it a solid 9 months till Xmas?

First night in a new apartment (45 years ago, pre-microwave days) and I burned the TV dinners because the oven was different. My husband never let me forget that oops.

does somebody want something from mom?

I see politics in his future or the pulpit.

That should give Mother the idea that she needs to up her game in the cooking, or in her case, the non-cooking department. However, I know that she won’t. My wife still hasn’t forgiven me for telling her that her home made cookies were just as good as those from the bakery. That was over twenty-six years ago…….

It’s all in the timing.. and just when you have it down pat.. the microwave dies and you need a new one.

Nice save, kid.

Don’t over rate Wilberforce. He simply isn’t too bright and he can be easily satiated.

And that’s why her cooking has improved.

Her microwave meals probably taste better than her cooking

Nobody could open a can like my mother! Now my paternal grandmother — that woman knew how to handle a kitchen.

Mom was a pretty good cook and baker, but once in a great while we had TV Dinners. In the mid 50s it was more of a treat to have them.
