::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FOOD FUNNY :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Today's food funny, sent to us by N.J. Herbert, belongs in the "from
the mouths of babes" category.

The Sunday school teacher was carefully explaining the story of Elijah
the Prophet and the false prophets of Baal. She explained how Elijah
built the altar, put wood upon it, cut the steer in pieces and laid it
upon the altar. And then Elijah commanded the people of God to fill
four barrels of water and pour it over the altar. He had them do this
four times.

"Now, said the teacher, "can anyone in the class tell me why the Lord
would have Elijah pour water over the steer on the altar?"

A little girl in the back of the room raised her hand with great
enthusiasm. "To make the gravy," came her enthusiastic reply.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::: TODAY'S RECIPE ::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Today's recipe from the Native Americans of the American Southwest is
one everyone in the family will love. It doesn't produce a jelly, but
rather a thick syrup that you can use on bread, waffles, or pancakes.
For a special treat, spread it on yesterday's Navajo fry bread.

Peach Honey

1+1/2 lb (400 g) fresh or frozen peaches
2 cups (500 ml) sugar

If using fresh peaches, cut into pieces and remove the pits. If using
frozen, allow to thaw completely. Process in an electric blender or
food processor until pureed. Combine with the sugar in a saucepan and
cook over low heat for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
Refrigerate or freeze until ready to use. Makes about 2 cups (500
ml.)
