::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FOOD FUNNY :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Here is a sick one from reader Donna Stanhope. Sick, Donna, very
sick.
A drunk lurched into a pet shop and gazed around with glassy eyes.
Eventually he picked up a tortoise (turtle to you) gave his money to
the cashier and thrusting the tortoise into his pocket, staggered out
the door. Fifteen minutes later the same drunk waltzes back in, holds
out some money to the clerk and hiccuped: "Shay mish, jus' gimme two
more of them crusty meat pies."
::::::::::::::::::::::::::: TODAY'S RECIPE ::::::::::::::::::::::::::
This is a recipe I discovered years ago in "The Classic Italian
Cookbook" by Marcella Hazan. Sadly, the book is out of print, but
this recipe lives on. Since my family seems to always have the
required ingredients on hand, it has come to the rescue many times
when a quick, elegant, and delicious dessert was called for. You
really have to taste it to appreciate how the flavors in this recipe
combine to form an unexpected and unique taste treat.
Gelato Spazzacamino
1 large scoop vanilla ice cream
1 Tbs (15 ml) Scotch whisky
1/2 tsp (2 ml) extremely finely ground espresso coffee beans*
* We have substituted finely ground regular coffee beans, and even
instant coffee in a pinch.
Place the ice cream in a serving bowl, pour the Scotch whisky over it,
and sprinkle with the coffee. Serves 1.
