FOOD FUNNY

Here are a bunch of food funny groaners from Barbara Forsythe, our
Last Morsel editor. Where does she find the time?
Two cannibals were eating a clown. First cannibal said to the second
cannibal, "Does this taste funny to you?"
How did the egg cross the road?
It scrambled across!
Why did the soda can go to college?
He wanted to be a fizz ed teacher!
Where do farmers keep baby ears of corn?
In the corn crib!
Why did the chocolate chip cookie visit the doctor?
He was feeling crummy!

TODAY'S RECIPE
__________________________________________________
This delicate soup has been a favorite of my mother's for so long that
she can't remember where she got the recipe. It's quick, easy, and
absolutely delicious.
Tomato Consomme
4 cups (1 L) chicken stock
2 cups (500 ml) coarsely chopped and drained
canned Italian plum tomatoes
1 bay (laurel) leaf
1/4 cup (60 ml) dry vermouth
1 Tbs (15 ml) sugar
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Hot sauce to taste
Combine the chicken stock, tomatoes, and bay leaf in a saucepan and
bring to a simmer over moderate heat. Simmer covered for 15 minutes.
Discard the bay leaf and press the contents of the saucepan through a
fine sieve. Discard the tomato solids and add the remaining ingredients,
stirring to combine. Serve hot or cold. Serves 4 to 6.
