Mashed Potatoes Cooking Cartoon
Help Me Caption Another Cooking Cartoon
Thanksgiving is near and that means turkey and mashed potatoes. I thought it would be funny to have RG in the kitchen making a whole lot of mashed potatoes this Thankgiving. Only problem, I need help again with captioning the cartoon.
Usually I come up with captions before I even start the cartoon idea but this one has me stumped. If you are a regular visitor to my web site or cooking & recipe blog, you may have seen the previous Help Me Caption a Cooking Cartoon. I asked you to come up with your own captions for that cartoon and there were a lot of really funny ideas. So I’m reaching out again to test your creative minds and ask you to help me caption this new cartoon.
Just go to the bottom of this blog and post your reply in the “Leave a reply”. Add as many captions as you like but keep them clean and be respectful of your fellow visitors. Any caption that I feel is inappropriate will be deleted.
This is not a contest but….
This is not a contest but I would like to send the person who comes up with the funniest caption (in my opinion) a tee shirt with the cartoon and his or her caption on it. I will also make the cartoon available on various items like tee shirts and cooking aprons at Café Press. This means all entries become the property of The Reluctant Gourmet™.

“Hubba Bubba, toil and trouble”
on November 5th, 2007 at 2:41 pm
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

1. Reluctant Gourmet was beginning to regret his decision to invite “extended family” to Thanksgiving dinner.
2. Next on Reluctant Gourmet’s To-Do List: Search Internet for leftover mashed potato recipes.
3. Reluctant Gourmet was beginning to realize why the cookbook discouraged quadrupling the mashed potato recipe.
