Lewreader, I could honestly see Ellie doing a cheese and celery cake, though, for what it is worth. Probably generate the same excitement as the menu she is planning to have.
Mrs. Luke…I did laugh when I read your comment! I can see her now in the next 10 strips coming up with 101 ways to serve her family celery…soup, puree, as decorations, filled with peanut butter with little raisin “ants” on the top…and quite possibly after the party she could use the leftover celery to use as garnish in her Cesar drink or Bloody Mary after the kids go home! LOL!
And, they probably are too poor to afford much else. John probably has Student Loans up to whazoo to pay for his dental degree, and he did just buy that super duper stereo system…and let’s not forget Ellie’s splurge after the electric can opener fiasco!!!
I am totally enjoying this comic, and my only regret is I didn’t read and enjoy it sooner. But then, I wasn’t a mom myself and most of it would probably have gone over my head…
