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.
You ever get that sinking down feeling?
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.
I need to subscribe to the “Reluctant Gourmet” to get above this.
I’ve really got to stop taste-testing my gourmet meals!! I have a feeling I’m gaining too much weight!
where the heck did I leave those roller blades?
1. Rut! what rut?
2. A man designed this kitchen.
3. Okay, I will quit designer school and I will go to cooking school.
4. How am I to cook pasta, if I can not taste the seasoning.
I think I’ll try the high altitude directions for a change.
I was cheering because my souffle didn’t sink.
Why? They won’t eat it anyway.
Help…. I’ve fallen and my souffle won’t get up!
The newest kitchen design innovation: kitchen skate park. Dual purpose cutting board/skateboard sold separately.
Maybe a nice roast tomorrow?
Hmmmm, I’ve always wanted to cook in those high heels.
Hmmmm, maybe if I get out some of those old cook books to stand on.
I just HAVE to get one of those short ovens.
I knew I was cooking “over my head” but I didn’t think it was this bad!
Where’s my kitchen step-stool??
Momma warned me there would be days like this!
Slip, sliding along!
My mother told me there would be days like this!
Where’s RG when I need him?
If I don’t start getting more creative with my cooking, I’m going to have to install a new kitchen floor!
All dishes look very delicious! I am interested in the food culture of your country. And I support your site.
This is how a jockey cooks???

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”
“I’m reducing with my sauce.”
“What’s this house shoe soup!”
Feel Like a Well-Rounded Cook?
They warned me about a possible sink hole !!!
Now, if only I’d kept last week’s pound cake, I’d have had something solid to stand on…
I told them I wanted a sunken living room, those idiots !!!
I’ve always wanted to double the size of my kitchen, but I didn’t ask for this!
See this is why women belong in the kitchen.
Ever get that sinking feeling, just before the Guest’s arrive?
#2 And I thought it would be fun living on a boat.
“ggeeezzzzz, seems the older I get the harder it is to do anything. Who lowered my floor?????”
Kitchen Ruts- they’re not just for breakfast anymore!
Got Creative Kitchen Rut?
Kitchen rut gotcha down?
Same ole’ recipes got ya in a rut?
Same ole’ meals got ya in a rut?
“I’m in a cooking rut and I can’t get out.”
When I told the carpenters that I would like to “raise my cooking to a new level” I didn’t mean to “raise the kitchen” too!
i dont think im a big enough man to be a cook
“I guess my mom was right, I would be a good short order cook”
Hmmm.. That’s the last time I buy “Portabella” mushrooms from that hippie down the road. Now if only I can find my feet, I can finish this bisque…
Aunty Em! Aunty Em! I’m sinking! I’m sinking!
They told me cooking on a submarine would be hard!
Why you need a subfloor under rubber tile.
“i ‘ll never Learn, thats the LAST time i trust my brother in law to replace my kitchen floor!!”
Cool !!, I love the kitchen floor.
The recipe called for long grain rice.
I think i’m in over my head!
Why couldn’t the kids just ask for cookies for dinner like they usually do.
it is really hard to cook sometimes
Back to the same old cutting board (sigh).
Too much shortening!
