Our Favorite Comments From the Week, Illustrated

Jaya and I went through this week’s comments and pulled out some of our favorites. Just like everything else in life, this is highly subjective.

Unless you got picked, then life is a meritocracy and you can leave work early.

    I do not judge you for drawing sexy vegetables… sexgetables.

    I am willing to have conflicted feelings about asparagus.

      You’re such a rebel.

      (the James Dean sort of rebel, not the confederate sort of rebel. Or, I suppose the star wars sort of rebel is a possibility as well.)

    VEGETABLE IS A CULINARY TERM AND INCLUDES MANY FRUITS SEE: PEPPERS, GOURDS, EGGPLANTS AND OLIVE.

    Sorry this may be my biggest pet peeve.

      I take deep joy in explaining the difference between botanical and culinary terms to anyone who spouts incorrect nonsense about “correct” tomato categorization. Depending on how much of an asshole they’ve been, and how much of a troll I want to be in return, I will either explain it in a tone THICK and DRIPPING with condescension, or an air of excitement and enthusiasm usually seen in very small dogs.

        Also bananas are a berry that grows on a herb and ALSO ACTUALLY no one gives a shit, eat the food.

        I can’t see the word mineral now without mentally adding “Jesus Christ, Marie!” in the voice of Dean Norris.

      “Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.” – some guy who is probably pretty proud of himself.

      But what if you put both fruits AND vegetables in a salad?! BEHOLD!

      I couldn’t find a pomegranate, so I replaced the seeds with cherries and it was delicious.

        That looks delicious. Mark Bittman did a “101 Salads for the Summer” several years ago that has quite a few fruit/vegetable salad combos. I’m not going to turn up my nose at some tomatoes in a bowl of fruit, is all. I’m going to try it and see if it’s tasty!
