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

Here is a sad but true food funny from reader Rosemary Eales:

Here's a funny from my 9 year old daughter Katie. I offered to take
her and her brother out to dinner last night. The offer was for
wiener schnitzel (her favourite dish) at our local restaurant which
makes wonderful European food. She told me that she didn't want to
eat the schnitzel there as it wasn't as good as the one Mum makes.
While I was glowing in the praise, I asked her why mine was so much
better. She replied that when I made it, it was burnt and she liked
it that way! So much for my cooking skills.

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

Due to a large number of requests recently, I think we're overdue for
another low-fat menu. I have also been receiving a lot of requests
for vegetarian dishes as well, and this menu fits both bills.

This dish is quick and easy, and it tastes great. Serve it at your
next party, and have a few recipe cards already made up for the guests
who won't leave until you give them the recipe.

Black Bean Dip

1 can (15 oz/420 g) black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup (60 ml) water
2 to 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 Tbs (30 ml) lime or lemon juice
1 Tbs (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp (2 ml) ground cumin
Salt and cayenne pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients in an electric blender or food processor and
process until almost smooth but still slightly chunky. Spoon into a
serving bowl and serve with pita bread or crackers. Serves 4 to 6.
