Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for January 18, 2022

Pepperidge Farms… Parmesan Croutons. Soups and Salads.

A bite above the rest.

Downtown Salads at My Italian Restaurant. W/Bottle of Red…Bottle of White… In my Italian Restaurant Tonight.

… Antonio and Company.

Look for Big Boot Shaped Sascaych Italy. Yes where Rome is..

I’d gladly give up croutons if I could find some honest politicians.

Which flavor? Brand? I found a list of 50 different ones:

I think I’ll go with the Texas Toast Croutons, Caesar #7.

Crouton is a rescued veal calf who is now 3 years old. He has his own Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook accounts.

Must…… Find….. Croutons

I certainly hope, before his word balloon runs out of air.

…Aunt Man got lost in the dunes of Blue Cheese…

…this was no way to return The Ring Around The Collar…

…he prayed to Jebus – the dawg of Flubber…

…but for his troubles lost his last holy crouton…

…he could not defeat the demo of bad breath without it…

… Dr. Cockhold claimed the power was within him…

…but Aunt Man knew he had just pretented to eat the crunchy goodness…

…Roquefort was lost …

… and so would Gyro if he couldn’t complete his mission…his mission…his mission…

…

…“Junior, just don’t play with your salad…

…eat it.” …

…[sigh], “Yes,Mom.”…

My son won’t eat a salad until it has shredded cheese and croutons on top.

How am I to make a proper sandwich with these tiny pieces of toast?

Try aisle seven, with the salad dressings.

I remember in high school we were offered an alternative to the regular fare of soy burger, pizza, etc. We could get a large chef salad. It had lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, green onions, croutons, hard-boiled eggs, cheese, and thin pieces of roast beef. They had a table set up where you could pick your salad dressing. I always picked Ranch. I think the other choices were French, Blue Cheese, and Italian.

OMG! From the Blog: I recognize almost all the ancient brands and products displayed for my edge-ification. But I sinceriously do NOT remember Dr. R. Schiffmann’s Asthmador cigarettes, where I could get “wonderful relief from the discomfort of bronchial asthma.”

Croutons are flavored, toasted, tossed, broiled, crunchy, soft, and when added to any dish they’re divine….Ide walk a mile, uphill, in a snowstorm for a bag of delicious croutons!

What would Ranger Bill choose?

they’re in your other pocket

Is it just me? Croutons … I can take ‘em or leave ‘em … maybe it was that soggy limburger cheese one I ate early in my formative years …!

In 1814 we took a little trip along with Colonel Roquefort and the mighty onion dip.

On the trail to Sgt. Preston’s Diner. All the iceberg lettuce Yukon eat! Seal you there!

He’s a few croutons short of a salad.

Froglandia is hit by the Supply Chain Crisis of ’21.

A little know how and a can do attitude will take you far. This guy would probably trudge through a snow bank and die for not finding water. Cut up some bread and toast that shizz with some butter and herbs. Get yer panzanilla on. Me, I like that giant cheesy crouton on top of my French Onion Ring soup. Oui, oui, oui, all the way home.

Oh, the crouton she’s a pretty bird

She warbles as she flies

But I never give her soup

Till the forth day of July.

When I was your age, my mom used to send me to the store for croutons, through the deep snow with no shovel or roads walk on, uphill both ways. You kids have no idea how easy you have it!

…there are a bunch of Teresa Towns on Facebook…

Funny, but in similar circumstances, croutons would not be so high on my “Must Find” list.

But, hey, your kink is your kink, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Unless you freeze to death in the Wilderness. Sorry about that….

Turn right at the fondue fork in the road.

From the Frog Blog #FB00862, some random product phrases:

PET MILK

Light up a filter-tip Asthmador cigarette and get wonderful relief from the discomfort of bronchial asthma

BOWL CLEAN PELLETS

A “bird” that’s golden brown, joyous with juice, palate perfect

…this was a common accurence back when Froglandia enforced its blue laws…

…every Monday was the same…

…only beer, wine & Frito Lay sold here…

…there would be these half naked ladies on the street corners yelling, “Lay’s! Lay’s!”…

…but that was before the Bath Mat factory added its second line…

…the factory’s new toilet stalls flushed themselves…

…creating a paper shortage…

…that was enough to green light getting rid of the blue laws…

…fine as Frog hair, Emily…

…fine as Frog hair…

I always wanted croutonomy in my life.

Must… make

Once you find The Croutons,

You may sleep in The Futon.

Day 2. Sorry, sir, but we’re all out of croutons. Supply chain issues, you know. May I interest you instead in these tasty chickpeas?
