:::::::::::::::::::::::: FOOD FUNNY ::::::::::::::::::::::::
Reader Lisa Coutts says about today's food funny "It's food related,
but not "good food" related." Lisa must already know that we aren't
very particular.
A young man saw an elderly couple sitting down to lunch at
McDonald's. He noticed that they had ordered one meal, and an extra
drink cup. As he watched, the gentleman carefully divided the
hamburger in half, then counted out the fries, one for him, one for
her, until each had half of them. Then he poured half of the soft
drink into the extra cup and set that in front of his wife. The old
man then began to eat, and his wife sat watching, with her hands
folded in her lap. The young man decided to ask if they would allow
him to purchase another meal for them so that they didn't have to
split theirs.
The old gentleman said, "Oh, no. We've been married 50 years, and
everything has always been and will always be shared, 50/50." The
young man then asked the wife if she was going to eat, and she
replied, "Not yet. It's his turn with the teeth."
:::::::::::::::::::::: TODAY'S RECIPE ::::::::::::::::::::::
This "internationalized" version of an Indonesian favorite will wake

throw in any other fruits that are fresh and of good quality.

1 Tbs (15 ml) light brown or white sugar
1 Tbs (15 ml) soy sauce
2 Tbs (30 ml) lemon juice
Be sure to peel the fruits over a large bowl in order to catch as much
juice as possible. Add the cayenne, sugar, soy sauce, and lemon juice
