Beth is all about control. And if she can't control a bachelor, by gum, she can certainly control the food on her plate. "Asparagus greens! I command you to type my next novel! Type for me minions! Type for me!" And with a few lessons from Mary Worth, she may soon control an entire wing of Charterstone.
I want to thank each of you who have contributed so far to the Santa Royale Rehabilitation Fund spring campaign. Your generosity has really been quite startling and I am sincerely grateful. We are well on our way towards our goal of $3 million. (I can dream can't I?)

And eating greens allows me to stay regular too!
Join me in helping keep humor alive. Even pennies (or in my case, penny) a day help keep this lifeline to reality afloat.
And Wanders, in spite of all the charity plot lines and (constructive?) feedback provided here, I'm presuming MWAM is not a 501c charity. :0
What kinds of things does Beth cook? Well, of course, there's her famous salt-encrusted fish. Then there's the salt-infused celery. Mother really loves that (insofar as she can love anything). Mary has also given Beth some amazing kelk recipes, but the salt content will have to be increased to suit Mother's taste...
OMG! The resemblance just hit me! Elinor is the alien salt monster from season one of Classic Star Trek.
We can see the attraction of this relationship for Tom. "What kind of things do you make? If you use actual food, I'm interested for sure!" If Tom plays his cards right, his days of drooling while watching the Food Network might be numbered.
Beth can breathe a sigh of relief - Tom apparently has bought only two bottles of beer. Unless he has a couple of cases delivered later, which would add some spice to this snoozer. I'd love to see Hunk Harpman turn into a boozy male Jill Black as he recounts his broken marriage.
Hmmmm... Like others in the Worthiverse, I bet she can make green blob pink cube, brown blob, tall swirly white blob and tan goo.
Of course, no need to cook for Skelinor. On her planet, her species evolved to live years on one ounce of alum with a twist of bitter lime.
Again we see the beer in Tom's bag (apparently crushing the hotdog buns under it). At some point, beer will play an important part in this storyline.
Wanders,
I assume the #3 million will finance the MWAM bloggers cruise next winter? Carnival Lins, of course.
This is the kind of dialogue people have when a date is going really badly and they're just grasping at something they have in common before they can both get the heck out of there.
Woman on Bad Date: Do you like food?
Man on Bad Date: Why yes, I like food very much.
In other words, the kind of dialogue Beth and Tom are having.
Well, now we can see where the rest of the week is headed.
Beth recites various foods she prepares while creepy Tom Harpman interjects with "Mmmm. That sounds great!"
Wanders, if there isn't yet a category in the Worthies for Most Boring/Inane Strip, there should be, and this one is in hot contention. Good Lord, is it pointless.
Thanks for explaining the miniature bunch of celery in Beth's bag. I now know that Beth commanded it to shrink to a manageable size and will command it to expand once it's in the crisper!
Wow, not even a first date and they are already talking food. Tomorrow they will progress to discussing Ripple vs. Night Train. This relationship is really moving along.
Meanwhile, poor Elinor has been pounding the wall with her cane for over an hour, waiting for her medication and lukewarm gruel.
The moment Beth leaves the apartment her bangs grow. Elinor takes the life out of everything, including hair. And for goodness sakes, invite Tom over for a meal, Beth. You'll be a knockout once he has his beer goggles on.
It is obvious that Beth has much to offer Tom including the exciting prospect of she and Elinor moving in with him.
