Thanks to reader Carolyn Gatto for this:
This food funny is courtesy of my boyfriend, Gary. He was in the
cooking and baking department of a large department store. There was
a visibly upset Italian women who spoke broken English trying to
communicate to the sales help. He want over to see if he could do
anything. The women said to him "Water go, spaghetti stop." He
immediately (well, almost) realized she was asking for a colander!

Here is an elegant way to dress up that old breakfast standby, the
grapefruit. My mother used to serve this as the appetizer for fancy
dinners, before the days when her budget would allow more pricey fare.
Broiled Grapefruit with Sherry
2 - 3 grapefruit, halved and sections loosened
4 - 6 Tbs (60 - 90 ml) brown sugar, or more to taste
4 - 6 Tbs (60 - 90 ml) dry sherry (optional)
Sprinkle a tablespoon (15 ml) of brown sugar or more to taste on each
grapefruit half. Place under a preheated broiler and broil until the
sugar bubbles, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add a tablespoon of sherry to
each half if desired. Serves 4 to 6.
