The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for June 16, 2022

Gladys wasn’t in the mood to cook.

Gladys has been eating chocolates all day while Brutus was at work.

Poor Brutus, works all day to bring home lettuce and Gladys makes him eat it

Looks like there’s inflation in The Born Loser universe.

The misery of dieting loves company.

At least she didn’t burn it, this time.

A salad one night a week, fasting another day of the week, has helped me lose considerable weight. Brutus might be concerned about it now, but will be glad when he wakes up 2 lbs. lighter in the morning. Besides, it builds character. :^)

A small salad followed by a bowl of ice cream and some cereal should do it. Maybe a handful of chips.

My wife is constantly trying to get me to eat kale. YECH!

Clearly, they both could use a little dieting, or type 2 diabetes might be in their future. Then, there troubles might really begin.

I fix a big salad for dinner a few times a week. There is always evidence in the kitchen in the morning (no matter what dinner was) that husband has had a snack or two.

My wife makes the same thing every night…RESERVATIONS

maybe there’s popcorn later, when my family makes a quick fix meals, they usually pop some corn. :g

Add bacon bits.

She found something else for most of the food budget.

I agree with Brutus!

Salad is great if fixed right – plenty cold chicken cut up on top (or Turkey) – loaded with all the topping. Tomato, cheeses, boiled egg, bell pepper, Iceberg lettuce. Bottle favorite salad dressing/pepper/salt. Gallon sweet ice tea. Followed by bowl favorite ice cream over chocolate cake. Loves my salad on weekends. Thanks Honey. Hold the bacon bits and croutons. For amateurs and squirrels.

Salad is only a promise that real food will soon arrive. (John Pinnette)

Remember. You married her for her looks, not her cooking…..

If it’s to be the whole meal, it should be a large with meat…

A bigger bowl with a bit more greens wouldn’t hurt. It does look pitiful, but probably healthy. The problem with too small a dinner is that most people will end up eating a ton of empty calories later on.

That’s a side salad, not dinner salad.

Gladys decided to diet Brutus. Which means she decided BOTH of you are dieting.

We are eating chef’s salads for dinner this week.

That was pay-back for that comment yesterday to her mom.
