Anyone here a chess player?

savage …. just brutal faint

Lima bean and yoghurt casserole actually sounds good.

Wouldn’t Roger have to eat the lima beans too?

Well played, and Peter didn’t think it could be a bluff.

…Roger, that’s diabolical. And when you wonder why you’re in the unpleasant nursing home sewing soccer balls for export, remember this moment.

That chess set will probably be in the trash tomorrow.

Peter should have called Roger’s bluff. Roger wouldn’t want to eat that any more than Peter would, and Peter would have made sure Roger ate his share of it regardless of any “late nights at the office.”

Queen’s gambit? (I just move the chess pieces and see what happens).

This is one way to get to spend some quality time with your son.

Today’s classic FoxTrot Sunday strip:

Google en passant

That’s way more than “a little” risky

In Panel 5, if there were one, the Son would ask: “So, how many games did I loose, Dad”?, Dad says, “ten”.

“A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

How about a nice game of…chess?"

I haven’t played chess since my husband died.

In that case, Roger, he’ll call your bluff next time.

Lima beans and yogurt is pretty gross even for Andy.

I spilled some yogurt by the kitchen sink. Now I have to deal with counterculture.

OMG! Lima bean and yogurt casserole?! UGH!!!

Well played, Roger. Well played.

He’s right. That Was risky!

Lima beans are hot right now.

bah-dum-tiss!

Also yes, that was risky!

IJBOL!…

Roger, considering that you’d have to eat that casserole as well…

Liam bean and yogurt casserole? You wouldn’t dare?

My husband taught me a ham and lima bean casserole that he liked. It was pretty good. I discovered I was allergic to lima beans. (But NO yogurt)

I asked ChatGPT for a recipe for this. It responded:

Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for Lima Bean and Yogurt Casserole:

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked lima beans (canned or frozen)1 cup plain yogurt1 cup grated cheddar cheese1/2 cup breadcrumbs1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley1 small onion, finely chopped2 cloves garlic, minced2 tablespoons olive oilSalt and pepper to tasteInstructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked lima beans, plain yogurt, grated cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, and salt and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, and sauté until the onions are translucent and garlic is fragrant.

Add the sautéed onions and garlic to the lima bean mixture. Stir everything together until well incorporated.

Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.

Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired, and serve your Lima Bean and Yogurt Casserole warm.

Enjoy your delicious and nutritious lima bean casserole!

A rare moment of cleverness from Roger. Bravo, sir, bravo.
