I don’t like cooking hacks, patience created better food

Lemme guess, the new owner is 5 Minute Crafts? (And yes, I had to restrain myself from writing the name I normally call them, 5 Minute Crap.)

…just add hot water

The owner of several ShopRite stores in Philadelphia recently lost the primary to replace Mayor Jim Kenney, who reaches his term limit this year. Many Philadelphians shop in the suburbs, because the sales tax is 2% lower, and there’s no “soda tax” on soft drinks.

The previous owner couldn’t “hack” it..

Ever notice how the “food hacks” and “life hacks” that show up on social media are nothing more than common sense? I liked the blonde who “invented flat tacos.” Girl, it’s called a tostada!

The look on Marcy’s face!

At least they’re honest about it.

‘Try our mystery Bag-O-Possibly Eatable Stuff’ Test your culinary and people skills while convincing your friends and family it’s a Nuevo Cuisine popular in a trendy enclave in Northern California. The right wine pairing makes a big difference. A couple times around the spice cabinet might be able to spin anything, from Cajun to Curry.

Maybe it was supposed to be “Food Shack,” but someone misplaced the “S”?

Why is Joe pushing the cart backwards?

The twins are suspicious.

Can any Philly natives tell me if The Melrose Diner is open or closed?

Where influencers shop

While I read other strips on gocomics, this one I read in our local paper. I had no idea of what was intended by this strip and came on gocomics as I knew that others, much smarter than myself, could/would explain it.

While we don’t live in PA prior to Covid (and hopefully again in the near future) we did travel to there usually at least 6 times a year.

Any help available? (Or perhaps tomorrow’s strip will explain?)
