The mysterious "DRSPAGHETI" strikes again:
An irate woman burst into the baker's shop and said, "I sent my
son in
here for two pounds of cookies this morning, but when I weighed
them
there was only one pound. I suggest that you check your scales."
The equally angry baker looked at her and calmly replied, "Ma'am,
I
suggest you weigh your son."

I am ashamed to admit that in more than four years of publishing
your
favorite recipezine I have never featured a week of Canadian
recipes.
The Canadians call it back bacon, but the rest of the world knows
it
as Canadian bacon. Here it is combined with another Canadian
specialty.
Cheese Tartlets
Pastry crust (packaged or your favorite recipe)
1 tsp (5 ml) butter
3 - 4 slices Canadian bacon, finely chopped
4 egg whites, lightly beaten
2 cups (375 ml) grated Canadian cheddar cheese
1 Tbs (15 ml) grated onion
2 tsp (10 ml) Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp (5 ml) paprika
1 tsp (5 ml) dry mustard
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Cut the pastry dough into small circles and line 24 to 36
(depending
on size) tiny tart or muffin pans. Heat the butter in a small
saucepan and cook the Canadian bacon until lightly browned.
Combine
with the remaining ingredients and spoon into the pastry shells.
Bake
in a preheated 400F (200C) oven until the pastry is golden brown
and
the filling has set. Serves 8 to 12 as an appetizer.
