A Meal Fit for a King

Whoops! I forgot to grab new Sunday Born Loser comics. We're starting 1987. I guess those will return next week. In the meantime, there are over 4,000 posts you can go back through or, if you want something shorter, there is a post on the abandoned Boley House here where I live.

Brutus is sitting at the kitchen table. Gladys is standing next to them in an apron and chef's hat. Wilberforce is nowhere to be seen because he doesn't get food. "What's for dinner, Gladys? I'm famished!" asks Brutus. "I've prepared a special meal just for you," Gladys begins. "For starters, there's a classic Caesar salad. The veggies will be elegant, green bean almondine. Next, there will be a scrumptious twice-baked potato then the piece de resistance, prime rib with yorkshire pudding. Finally, to cap it all off, a stunning baked Alaska! How does that sound to you?" Gladys asks. "Wow! It sounds too good to be true!" Brutus exclaims. "Exactly!" Gladys responds. "Oh? Sigh...So dinner is really last night's tuna casserole leftovers?" Brutus asks. "Bingo!" Gladys says.
I'm sure all of this is good, but you can just make normal stuff. Green bean almondine and Yorkshire pudding? Baked Alaska? You're doing too much, even if it is all made up. Tuna casserole sounds good. I like tuna.

Does it upset anyone else that whatever almondine is just whatever with almonds tossed on it? I can through almonds in my Cheerios and call it Cheerios almondine. Technically the tuna broccoli casserole I have a recipe is tuna broccoli almondine because it has almonds on it. It's nuts!
