I MIGHT do that if I was really broke. 0_o

Brun's probably right too. Most bartenders or ex-bartenders are, regarding relationships.

BenRG:
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly these threads jump sideways into culinary discussion. I'm thinking that we have a whole lot of hungry people and/or wannabe chefs on this site! For the record, to me tomato ketchup is an invaluable tool against otherwise-tasteless foods or foods that I would otherwise find unpalatable like starchy staples and boiled vegetables.

Onto the subject of the strip itself: This is probably the first time that I've seen the comparison between Renee and Faye explained so seriously. Both women don't know how to do 'friendly communication' with people close to them so they default to teasing and borderline-outright bullying. This is the second time that Brun has given a character an existential revelation about things over which they may be in denial. Is this a precursor to the apartment burning down?

At the very least, it is the precursor to Renee deciding to drink to forget. As Brun said, she's good at this 'bartender' thing. What is really hilarious is that she didn't really say anything. She just put the idea into the air and Renee's own brain did the rest of the work!

Probably.

And I for one would totally buy another drink at that point.  :-D  (So she's right about that, too.)

(Damn manipulative bartenders. ;) )

BenRG:
Given that Jeph has called this "Elliott is Cute Week" on his Twitter feed, I feel confident in predicting that we are going to be sticking with this arc at least until Friday. However, what will happen?

I'm expecting that Renee will tell Brun that she can't act on Elliott herself because he's attracted to Brun. I suspect that this will come as news to Brun. That said, I may be doing her a disservice and she might be fully aware of Elliott's reasons for wanting to pat her head. The big question will be whether she reciprocates.

Either way, I've got a feeling that the latter half of this week will be Renee and/or Brun making Elliott very nervous by tentatively trying to work out if he is really interested in them and maybe even flirting with him in a tentative and somewhat amateurish manner (or at least behaving in a manner that you could interpret that way). Naturally, Elliott will get locked into an indecision loop about whether he is reading too much into their behaviour.

If Jeph feels like it, he can probably sustain such a holding pattern for months. However, if it's Brun who is doing the flirting, it is much more likely that she'll lose patience in the whole thing and just directly tell Elliott what she wants and what she believes he wants, leading to the proof that Ellliott can do a full-body blush.

I had it before, it's not worth the tiny bit of less hassle it is not to have/make pasta sauce. Putting just butter and parmesan or olive oil and garlic on it is just as easy and doesn't gross you out after the first bite.

But then again, Brun seems like the kind of person who wouldn't care enough, and it's nice that she cooks for her friend when she's staying over. Or is it a punishment for Renée for being obnoxious?

--- End quote ---

Brun is eating it too so it doesn't appear that way. 

Once again Brun has some uncanny powers of observation that made her an effective bartender, but she still seems to be oblivious to Elliot's attraction to her.
