::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FOOD FUNNY :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
This food funny was imported all the way from New Zealand by reader
Aimee Wilkes.
Two elderly ladies meet at the launderette after not seeing one
another for some time. After inquiring about each other's health, one
asked how the other's husband was doing.
"Oh! Ted died last week. He went out to the garden to dig up a
cabbage for dinner, had a heart attack and dropped down dead right
there in the middle of the vegetable patch!"
"Oh dear! I'm very sorry," replied her friend, "What did you do?"
"Opened a can of peas instead."
::::::::::::::::::::::::::: TODAY'S RECIPE ::::::::::::::::::::::::::
This cold dish originated in Frankfurt and was reportedly one of the
favorites of Goethe. It is frequently served with boiled potatoes,
which are dipped into the sauce.
German Eggs in Green Sauce
1/2 cup (125 ml) sour cream
1/2 cup (125 ml) yogurt
1/4 cup (60 ml) mayonnaise
Juice of 1 lemon
9 to 13 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
1+1/2 cups (375 ml) finely chopped fresh herbs
(any combination of parsley, tarragon, chives,
dill, or fennel greens)
1/2 tsp (2 ml) sugar
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Combine the sour cream, yogurt, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Finely
chop one of the eggs and stir it into the mixture, along with the
herbs, sugar, salt, and pepper. Spoon the sauce onto a serving
platter or individual plates. Slice the remaining eggs in half and
arrange them on the sauce. Serves 4 to 6.
