Reader Tim Casper writes, "Being a meatcutter from the mid-west, this
little funny is right up my alley."
A woman goes to the supermarket and straight to the meat department.
She asks the butcher how much for lamb chops. The butcher responds,
"$12.99 a pound." The Customer is shocked. She says that just down
the street at "Hank's butcher shop" they are only $5.99 a pound. The
supermarket butcher asks her why she doesn't get them there if the
price is so much better. She states that Hank is all out of lamb
chops. Now the butcher tells her that when he is out of lamb chops
they are only $2.99 a pound.

I like a sweet breakfast roll as much as anybody, but these rolls are
an interesting and healthy alternative to the sugar-laden breakfast
pastries we are all more familiar with.
Savory Breakfast Rolls
1 package (1 Tbs, 15 ml) dry yeast
1 tsp (5 ml) sugar
2 cups (500 ml) warm water
1 Tbs (15 ml) vegetable oil
1 red bell pepper (capsicum), seeded and finely chopped
1 cup (250 ml) chopped mushrooms
3 cups (750 ml) whole wheat flour
2 1/2 cups (625 ml) all-purpose flour, plus additional for kneading
2 tsp (10 ml) salt
2 Tbs (30 ml) chopped fresh parsley
2 Tbs (30 ml) chopped fresh chives
5 oz (100 g) Cheddar cheese, finely diced
Combine the yeast, sugar, and 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the warm water in a
small bowl and stir to dissolve. Let stand 5 minutes. Heat the oil
in a skillet over moderate heat and saute the pepper and mushrooms
until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Combine the flours in a large mixing bowl. Add the yeast mixture and
the remaining water. Stir to mix well and add the parsley, chives,
and cheese. Knead for 8 to 10 minutes, place in a greased bowl, and
allow to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Knead for 1 minute
on a floured surface and roll into a long log. Cut the log into 24
pieces and roll each into a ball. Place the balls of dough on a
greased baking sheet and allow to rise for 30 minutes. Bake in a
preheated 375F (190C) until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve
warm. Makes 24 rolls to serve 8 to 12.
