::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FOOD FUNNY :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Here's a special Valentine's Day food funny, thanks to reader Fred
Wilkerson, Sr.
Cabbage always has a heart;
Green beans string along.
You're such a Tomato,
Will you Peas to me belong?
You've been the Apple of my eye,
You know how much I care;
So Lettuce get together,
We'd make a perfect Pear.
Now, something's sure to Turnip,
To prove you can't be Beet;
So, if you Carrot all for me
Let's let our tulips meet.
Don't Squash my hopes and dreams now,
Bee my Honey, dear;
Or tears will fill Potato's eyes,
While Sweet Corn lends an ear.
I'll Cauliflower shop and say
Your dreams are Parsley mine.
I'll work and share my Celery,
So be my valentine.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::: TODAY'S RECIPE ::::::::::::::::::::::::::
A quick review of the past several weeks of recipes convinced me that
we are ready for a week of "Quick and Easy" recipes.
I learned this recipe from my paternal grandmother Dottie, who was an
unenthusiastic cook. She compensated for her lack of enthusiasm by
assembling a repertoire of delicious dishes that required a minimal
investment of time and effort, and this is one of my favorites.
Dottie's Cream Cheese Spread
1 - 3 or 4 oz (90 or 120 g) package cream cheese
4 - 6 Tbs (60 - 90 ml) sesame seeds
3 - 4 Tbs (45 - 60 ml) soy sauce
Unwrap the cream cheese and coat all sides with sesame seeds. Place
on a small serving plate and pour the soy sauce over. The soy sauce
will form a small puddle on the plate, and can be mixed with the cream
cheese mixture as diners serve themselves. Serve with crackers, melba
toast, or pita bread. Serves 6 to 8 as an hors d'oeuvre.
