Thanks to reader "Corayvonne" for this one:
A policeman pulls a hockey player over for speeding and asks him to
get out of the car. After looking the player over he says, "Sir, I
couldn't help but notice your eyes are bloodshot. Have you been
drinking?"
This upsets the hockey player who says, "Officer, I couldn't help but
notice your eyes are glazed. Have you been eating doughnuts?"

This week's entire menu is based on the characters in the Basil St.
Jacques mystery.
This is actually my own variation on a traditional Yugoslavian dish
called cevapcici (pronounced chey-VOP-chee-chee, or something like
that), or cevaps for short. They are usually served as thumb-sized
sausages, but my little cheeseburger version makes an excellent hors
d'oeuvre.
Bucky's Burgers
1/2 lb (225 g) ground lamb
1/2 lb (225 g) ground beef or veal
1/2 lb (225 g) ground pork
1 medium onion, peeled and grated
2 - 4 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
2 Tbs (30 ml) paprika
A grating of fresh nutmeg
Cayenne pepper to taste
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 cup (250 ml) crumbled feta cheese
Combine all ingredients except the feta cheese and mix well. Form
into small patties about 1 to 1+1/2 inches (2.5 - 3 cm) in diameter.
Grill, broil or pan fry, turning once, until done. Top with crumbled
feta cheese and serve with toothpicks. Serves 6 to 8 as an appetizer.
