Celia, You are really cooking tonight! You recognize the best defense against an absurd enemy is more absurdism. Just keep the pepper sauce handy--we will need heavy doses of vinegar against the orange menace.
I heard from the TV Dr. Rivenmex's sister-in-law that this literary gem was hilarious. The description is too mild. Laugh out loud really, really funny might suffice. His bent toward the no-mex hex makes perfect sense when I stick one finger in my ear and stand on one foot. It also makes pluperfect reason and logic if I consider gargling and dancing at the same time. Celia, does the Nobel committee know about thee, beloved genius that thou art? And yes, I agree with Richard W. Slatta. Absurdity is best managed by taking things to their nth degree. Yowzer!!
Elump…love that as well. And the soup is calling me. Perfect day and ingredients in hand. What could be better? Thank you, Celia, for helping me laugh as well as planning my menu!
Instead of a US/Canada Anschluss, why not have the blue/purple states secede and join Canada. We’d get to keep our weather and perhaps get Tim Horton’s as a bonus. Poutine would be allowed in on a province/state by province/state basis…eh?…
Elump is a toad so that’s all ima gonna say about that.
By the way, Elump is the combo name another Substack user gave him. I thought it was perfect for those two “sweethearts” so I’ve started using it as well. It paints such a glorious mental picture.
Just when I think he can't get any worse....."Gulf of America"? Such a nut job, and proving it again and again. It won't end for another four years.
I've also learned windmills are driving the whales crazy! 🐳
"Brown Ivanka"😆😆😆
Right?!?

I honestly thought it was The Onion when I saw the first story about the Gulf of America!
In the spirit of renaming everything, you could call this recipe "Trumpier Easier, Deliciouser Soup." Just use orange lentils.
Love it, Susan! Except I love this soup so much I can't stand to associate Orange Foolius with it in any way!
Had to read this one to hubby. He snorted his coffee!
That's the highest compliment!
He especially like the brown Ivanka comment.

I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying the honorary doctorate (M.D., whatever) upon me. Means more than any silly ol' Nobel. Ha!
You deserve a parade and a testimonial dinner. Make sure I get a seat on the dais. Lots of balloons and streamers.

We are gonna need a LOT of comfort food over the next few years and this really fits the bill. Hope you like it!

I likey. Where do I sign up?
Tim Horton’s would be a coup!
Hi Celia. Gonna try the soup recipe. Looks good.
Elump is a toad so that’s all ima gonna say about that.
By the way, Elump is the combo name another Substack user gave him. I thought it was perfect for those two “sweethearts” so I’ve started using it as well. It paints such a glorious mental picture.
Dang. Elump is so perfect. Wish I'd thought of that. Enjoy the soup!
