Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for October 20, 2009

With drippings on the side.

If she should develop a blood clot, she can zap it.

I’m feeling a little queasy here.

Well, to be fair, in considering her diet, Broomie is short, green, and kind of rotund….

But I’ll just have the salad, please, no dressing….

naked salad? is that anything like cold slaw?

Hey Broomie, your cousin is in today’s Wizard of Id strip.

Dont forget a moon pie and an R.C. Cola.

My favourites at the Big E were alwats the clam fritters at the RI building & the Maple sugar cotton candy at the NH Building. ALways had to hit those (and the long lines to get them said others felt the same!) can’t eat the fritters now, but just thinking of them…YUM!

Thanks for making me drool. I’ll now retire to my oatmeal. YUK!

I can feel my arteries closing up just reading that…

yyyguy: cole slaw is cabbage (and other things) smothered in mayo, so no that’s not a naked salad.

newenglandah: they had the same thing at the Los Angeles county fair last month. I didn’t have the nerve to try it, but I did have a bite of my husband’s deep fried cheese on a stick - yum!

Butter a la mode I can understand, but chocolate-covered bacon?? Chocolate and grease just don’t go together!

Oh, yuch!

I watched my mother but butter on everything she ate (even the heavily sugar frosted breakfast rollsI and she fried everything she didn’t put butter on - as a result her weight went up, she got diabetes, heart attacks and died of kidney failure. I learned from watching her and her brothers and sisters to cook with little or no grease and use butter substitute sparingly. Before became disabled used to exercise too.

No, Broomie, it’s what you are.
