Started As a Cooking Rut Cartoon But.....
This cartoon started out as depicting the Reluctant Gourmet trying to get out of his cooking rut. You know where you feel like you're cooking the same 6 meals night after night, week after week, month after month. When I asked my readers for caption suggestions, I received a lot of great responses but the one that made me laugh the most was this one - I think I'm in over my heat.
And I can't tell you how many times I felt like this over the years.

Cooking too big of a job? Do down home cooking.
ginger
You ever get that sinking down feeling?
Terri
Help! I think I used the wrong kind of mushrooms!!!!

(1)If that lobster sticks its head out again, I'll wallop it!
(2) I wish they'd never heard of Gordon Ramsay (GR) - bloody Sea Bass again!
(3) If my Yorkshire Puddings sagged like this floor, I'd be out of a job!
(4) I always have to cook the same thing - the floor has got a better learning curve than me.
Bill Pavesic
I need to subscribe to the "Reluctant Gourmet" to get above this.

Hmmmm, I've always wanted to cook in those high heels.

This chef is not in a rut, he is in a Dali painting -if he was in a rut he would have been shown in bed surrounded by food, fast asleep with his arm still stirring a pot labelled "The Same Old Stuff"
