Hobson’s choice

Don’t feel bad Hammie mom didn’t give you much of a choice. I myself would rather have meatloaf made with beef not turkey.

Smother it with ketchup. You’ll be fine.

Turkey meatloaf…. mmmmm….

I’m surprised Hammie didn’t choose the slimy green stuff. Maybe he heard ‘veggie drawer’, and figured he would go with the non veggie alternative.

The Green Stuff was probably the remnants of Wanda’s previous Turkey Meatloaf.

I’ll go for the okra.

Turkey meatloaf doesn’t sound too bad.

Zoe must have wanted the slippery green stuff.

Darry’s not complaining!

Veggie drawer? Does that mean she’s keeping potatoes in the refrigerator?

Meatloaf is pretty good if made right!

The ketchup bottle is upside down. It was designed to sit on the cap.

I need to pick up some ketchup.

Hammie – “Give the slippery green stuff to Zoe since see doesn’t like meatloaf and the rest of us will take the turkey meatloaf.”

Don’t get it, thought Hammie would go for the “mystery dinner”, or, was it “veggie” that deterred him?

Meatloaf is good. Amish hamloaf? Even better.

Meatloaf is great. Especially leftover meatloaf, re-heated and made into samitches the next day.

Slippery green stuff? … Oobleck? … Oo … bleck!

Hammie you weren’t used, you were played like a violin, and you mother is the Itzhak Perlman of moms for this one.

I was sure Hammie would have chosen the green stuff.

Zoe wishes Mom would put the meatloaf to rest, just like the singer.

Some choices are so obvious that the word “choice” might actually be a misnomer.

I prefer beef meatloaf…especially the cheesy bacon meatloaf I’ve made for my family a few times. It’s usually a recommendation for Thanksgiving.

Welcome to parenthood Hammie.

Odd attitude… I love meatloaf!

I hope Wanda had a plan in case he choze the green stuff.

Eat what I cook or go over to Fox Trot and eat what Andi cooks.

Funny…I thought Hammie woulda gone for the slimy green stuff…

Clever…

What’s so bad about turkey meat loaf? It’s easy to dry it out if you’re not very careful, granted, but they’re talking like it’s one of those green blobs that comes to life on Calvin’s plate.

My wife makes a really good meatloaf, as did my mom.

Score one for Wanda.

I hated meatloaf as a kid and at age 70 I still hate it.

Turkey meatloaf at that. Yuck!

Who the heck puts potatoes in the fridge!?

Ugh..I’d like the half ground beef/pork blend.

Notice the peas are not colored green…

the green stuff probably tastes a lot better than the meatloaf…

Red lead (USCG for ketchup) makes anything edible.

Mmmm, I like meatloaf.

Late columnist Ann Landers got tons of replies to her personal meatloaf recipe——she said the key ingredient was Lipton’s dehydrated Onion Soup Mix

Haha! XD
