It has been quite a while since the ol' World Wide Recipes
Groan-O-Meter got a workout. This one is thanks to reader Bobbie
Dunlap.
A creature rose up out of the surf and came ashore. Its garments were
made of green sea lettuce. "I am the friendly Witch of the Sand," she
said. "I am only going to sunbathe." The sun was terribly hot. Her
skin began to bake and it turned as red as a ripe tomato! Have you
ever seen a baking lettuce and tomato sand witch?

We frequently overlook the humble banana when we plan a meal, but it
makes a wonderful and naturally delicious finish to almost any meal.
This dish is quick, easy, and the perfect finale to a meal of "15-Minute
Dishes."
Baked Bananas
4 bananas, peeled and cut in half lengthwise
6 Tbs (45 ml) apricot or peach preserves
2 Tbs (30 ml) rum, brandy, or water
1/4 cup (60 ml) chopped fresh mint
2 tsp (10 ml) grated lemon zest
4 tsp (20 ml) butter
Place two banana halves on pieces of aluminum foil large enough to
wrap them with. Mix the preserves and the rum together and spoon over
the bananas. Sprinkle with chopped mint and lemon zest, and dot each
banana with butter. Wrap in the foil and bake in a preheated 400F
(200C)
oven for 10 minutes. Serve hot or warm. Serves 4.
