Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for July 09, 2023

you sure those aren’t burn marks?

I think there’s a typo. “in” should be “is.”

Eight years?! That’s no “adhesive.” Those things are now a single, inseparable, unified object. Pitch it and get a new dish.

I had one like that for a year. It broke in a move.

Use Soda, Aunty, and hot water.

Now Aunty, don’t drop that!

“And still that sh!t won’t budge!” Maybe Aunty should use toilet cleaner?

Presumably, she’s just using regular water. Perhaps she should try a more aggressive solvent solution that they sell in the hardware stores.

I always thought it was dried cereal residue

Well, there it is. Finally, but too late. The adhesive we needed for space shuttle tiles.

Stain won’t kill you!

Would you eat anything coming outta this kitchen?

Reynolds made a product, Pan Lining Paper. It was foil on one side, parchment paper on the other. My Pyrex lasagna dish looks brand new. They discontinued it, now I rub the dish with olive oil, nothing sticks.

Ah yes, the casserole, Mankind’s answer to " I don’t want to cook, my show is on. Threw a bunch of stuff into a baking dish, toss it into a 350 ℉ oven and hope it comes out tasting good. They are basically alchemy experiments conducted in the kitchen.

Being in the kitchen – don’t make you a cook. Cooking up slop even the pigs puke. Now that’s a dish for drunks like Aunty.

Time to buy a new dish, Aunty!

When you include cement in your casserole juice, that’ll happen.

Ugggh, casserole! Think about what it is doing to your stomach.

Hopalong Casserole sticks again!

Just throw it out!

I don’t want to know what ingredients she uses in her casseroles, or why she has been soaking the dish for that long. And I certainly don’t want to accept an invitation to her house for dinner.
