That sounds so bad it has scared, Bleeb off.

Is that breakfast?

A lump by any other name would taste just as bad…. Apologies to Will S

Every time I Make gravy I can never find any nuggets

We call ’em “nuggets.” But who knows what they really are—or were.

I’d say Gravy McNuggets, but…OMIGAWD! Where’s Bleeb??

As long as they aren’t rollers that fell in while you were cooking…

I don’t see Bleeb.

Not FOOD but FOD.

Ohh, Gravy Train, I thought that was off the market.

Looks like he fished out as many as he could!

Mmm-mmm, meat wads and gravy nuggets! Now THAT’S fancy cuisine!

I’m afraid Bleeb might be a nugget

Thems good eats.

She’s dressed to kill.

Gravy nuggets does not sound better than gravy lumps.

Use a whisk.

Mmmmm, the nuggets are my favorite part!

Probably undissolved beef bullion cubes…

What a lovely bride!

A good move to get him to take you out for breakfast!

My sister used to put a can of soup in her gravy so she could explain away the lumps as bits of mushroom.

Maybe the lump IS Bleeb.

Hopefully them lumps ain’t moving.

Chicken?

Yeah and you look like an A$$.

“And they go great with the chicken fingers, fish sticks, and tater tots that I defrosted and put in there!”

AND don’t you forget it…..

Hey, whatever floats your gravy boat.

Ewww!

Yeahbut, I like my nuggets smooth!

Ewww.

No no no. They’re little dumplings!

Don’t eat that lump, it’s bleeb!

Bleeb is way to smart for Dalcon and he certainly has no interest in gravy, so I think he just decided to take Friday off.

No gravy nuggets or nougats for me, thanks.

It’s time for him to take his lumps.

She must work in marketing.

Oh , yeah. New Instant Gravy Nuggets – no stirring required!

John!!! Please tell us you forgot Bleeb today and that he isn’t one of the nuggets!!!!!

…And they’re still tasty…
