::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FOOD FUNNY :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Reader Margie knows how much I like true food funnies. Here is a
great one:
When I was in jr. high school, and learning to type, I decided to
practice by typing my mom's recipes on index cards for her. One
afternoon while she was making her favorite icing using one of my
newly typed cards, she called out to me, "Margie do I have to follow
this recipe exactly as it is written?" I told her "of course you do,
She told me to come and read what had typed, it said, After all
ingredients are added SCREAM until well blended. We did, it was
great, we laughed about that recipe many times over the years,our
screaming icing. Thanks for the fun, Margie
