Pickles by Brian Crane for May 31, 2016

Just bake the salmon in the oven with a little brown sugar, crushed pineapple and squirt of lemon juice. Yummy!

I love salmon, but it disagrees with me.

Whenever I need a spice, the store is out. All the Thyme!

I like cooking my salmon with dill.

I hope there isn’t really a shortage. I love fennel sheets.

First world problems.

Will my fennel pajamas do?

Brian’s on a roll! Third morning in a row that I forgot to put down my coffee cup before I read the last panel. Gotta wash placemats today. At least I didn’t have a mouthful!

Just don’t substitute a funnel.

You’ll figure something out Opal. You all are so funny and handy in the kitchen. Bears – you almost had me scratching my head – and then I got it. BillyBobJohnson – funny!

Not salmon mousse….

Look at the dog, he thought she said, “kennel.”

I don’t care for fennel. I love salmon. I don’t like sweet stuff on it either. The best I ever had was covered with Hollandaise sauce. I know, I know. You don’t care either.

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm there?

Why does the sun go on shining?Why does the sea rush to shore?Don’t they know it’s the end of the world,‘Cause -you don’t love me any more?- I came up empty at the store?

Why do the birds go on singing?Why do the stars glow above?Don’t they know it’s the end of the world.It ended when I lost your love. they said, “we’re out of..”

I wake up in the morning and I wonder,Why everything’s the same as it was.I can’t understand. No, I can’t understand,How life goes on the way it does.

Why does my heart go on beating?Why do these eyes of mine cry?Don’t they know it’s the end of the world.It ended when you said goodbye. the fennel spot was dry

Maybe the fennel at the store was labeled, “anise.” When I first shopped for broccoli rabe, I needed help from a store employee, who told me they labeled it, “rapini.”
