:::::::::::::::::::::::: FOOD FUNNY ::::::::::::::::::::::::
Thanks to reader Karen for today's food funny, which was accompanied
by the now seemingly obligatory marriage proposal. Thank you Karen,
for both the joke and the proposal. Please be assured that I have
sorted, categorized, filed, and indexed both of them, and you will be
contacted by a member of my staff in the event that yours is selected.
Here's the joke:
The man of the house was mixing a martini, and a kitten was studying
every action intently. She watched him take the ice from the freezer.
She followed the ice to the glass. She helped him measure out the
liquor and stared at the ritual of the spearing of the olives.
Suddenly, a lemon twist slipped from his hands and flew across the
kitchen. The kitten couldn't believe her luck. She got there first.
She bit into the yellow twist before the man could stop her, certain
of a wonderful treat these humans enjoy. The kitten's face screwed up
as she spit out the bitter rind.
"Aha," said the mixologist,"so you have learned... a rind is a
terrible thing to taste." (By Gilbert Krebs)
:::::::::::::::::::::: TODAY'S RECIPE ::::::::::::::::::::::
The dessert for mom's Mother's Day dinner is as easy as it is yummy.
You really need to make this at the last moment, so that can be your
excuse to ask someone else to clear the table.
Broiled Peaches
6 canned peach halves, drained
1/2 cup (125 ml) sour cream
1/2 cup (125 ml) vanilla flavored yogurt
6 tsp (30 ml) light brown sugar
Put the peach halves (cut side up) in an oven proof baking dish that
is just big enough to hold them. Mix the sour cream and the yogurt
together in a small bowl, and spoon this mixture over the peach
halves. You can do this before dinner and keep it in the refrigerator
until you are ready to finish cooking it. Just before you are ready
to serve dessert, turn the oven broiler on (you might need the help of
a grownup for this). Put a teaspoon (5 ml) of brown sugar on top of
each peach half, and put the baking dish under the broiler, about 3
inches (8 cm) away from the heat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the
sugar is melted and bubbles a little. Remove the dish from the oven
carefully and serve immediately. Serves 6.
