::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FOOD FUNNY :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
This is a food funny only by a stretch, but I like it so here it is.
Thanks to reader Dianne Grimm of Carlsbad, New Mexico for sending it.
Q: Why the chicken crossed the road?
A: To prove to the armadillo that it COULD be done.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::: TODAY'S RECIPE ::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Today's "Summertime and the Cookin' is Easy" recipe is also known as
"Swiss oatmeal," and was developed by a 19th century Swiss physician
for his patients. It is "cooked" the night before, so that over-worked
cooks can sleep late while the rest of the family prepares their own
breakfast.
Muesli
1 cup (250 ml) old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup (250 ml) boiling water
Serve any or all of these garnishes: raisins,
chopped nuts, unsweetened dried coconut, chopped
dried apricots, chopped dried peaches, chopped
dates, diced fresh fruit, brown sugar
Milk or cream
In a large bowl combine the oats and the water and allow to stand,
covered, at room temperature overnight. Serve warmed or at room
temperature. Spoon the soaked oats into individual serving bowls and
stir in garnishes. Top with a little milk or cream. Serves 4 to 6.
