Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for January 10, 2025

Sigh! Just deep fry a twinkie for him, Verne!

I would prefer Twinkies Benedict.

I thought it had bear in it.

“You know, Verne, for being called ‘béarnaise’ sauce, it doesn’t have a single hint of bear in it.”

Hmm … Hold the asparagus, shallots, tarragon, and lemon juice.

And maybe hold the egg yolks, too

I think I’ll have a grilled cheese instead.

The true story of a sugar addict – too much is not enough. The only reason R.J. doesn’t have diabetes is that he cannot, being a cartoon.

Does it taste like dead guy? Like in Weekend at Béarnaise

Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription.. is more twinkie!

grilled asparagus only needs a light coating of olive oil, some salt and pepper before putting over the heat

It’s full fat, RJ. What’s not to love?

needs more actual food in it

Sorry RJ. Home cooking beats Twinkies.

There should be no red wine in a Bearnaise sauce. It’s a “white sauce”. I used to make it too from scratch. Too rich in wrong fats, unfortunately. Verne must have watched a lot of Julia Child’s cooking shows or he attended a French Culinary school? That would make a great story!
