A reader who asked to be identified only as Kathy sent the following
slightly risque food funny. I like it.

"Isn't there any other part of the matzo you can eat?" Marilyn
Monroe, after being served matzo ball soup three days in a row.

Brazil may be the only place on earth where avocados are treated
exclusively as the fruit they are (botanically speaking) and served as
dessert.

Crema de Abacate (Cream of Avocado)

2 large, ripe avocados
1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lime juice
6 Tbs (90 ml) powdered (confectioner's) sugar
Whipped cream (optional)
Lime wedges for garnish

Cut the avocados in half and remove the seed. Peel the avocado and
cut it into dice. Hint: it is easier to peel the avocado after
slicing it into strips. Combine the avocado, lime juice, and sugar in
an electric blender or food processor and process until smooth and
creamy. Serve in chilled wine glasses or dessert plates. Garnish
with the lime wedges and serve whipped cream on the side, if desired.
Serves 4 to 6.
