Thanks to reader Linda Hoffman for this food funny:
Clem was walking down a country road, carrying a large sack. His
cousin Jim-Bob spotted him and said, "Hey, Clem, what you got in that
sack?"
Clem responded, "Chickens for supper."
Jim-Bob said, "Hey, Clem, if I guess how many chickens you done got in
that sack, will you give me one?"
Clem said, "Jim-Bob, we is family. If you guess right, I'll give you
both of them."
Jim-Bob thought a moment and then said, "I guess 5."

Here's an alternative to the banana breads, carrot cakes, and other
yeastless sweet breads that seem to be everywhere.
Orange Bread
2 cups (500 ml) all-purpose flour
1 tsp (5 ml) baking powder
1/2 tsp (2 ml) baking soda
1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt
2 Tbs (30 ml) butter
1 cup (250 ml) sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup (60 ml) orange juice
3/4 cup (180 ml) hot water
The grated rind of 1 orange
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Beat
the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and
beat well. In a separate bowl combine the orange juice, water, and
orange rind. Add the dry and wet ingredients a little at a time to
the butter mixture, alternating dry and wet, beating well after each
addition. Pour the batter into a greased 9 x 5 x 3-inch (22 x 12 x 7
cm) loaf pan and bake in a preheated 350F (180C) oven for 50 to 60
minutes. Remove from the pan and cool on a wire rack. Makes 1 loaf.
