Thanks to reader Darlene Blasing for this one:

Children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic school for
lunch. At the head of the food table was a large pile of apples.
Next to the apples was a note left by one of the nuns. It read, "Take
only one, God is watching." At the other end of the table was a large
pile of chocolate chip cookies. A note left by one of the students
read, "Take all you want, God is watching the apples."

It's time for another trip Down Under and a week of Australian dishes,
or as they might say in Melbourne, "Ozzie Tucker."

My Australian readers might choose to use their excellent Milawa
Roquefort-style blue cheese in this dish, but any good quality blue
cheese will do just as well.

Grilled Figs with Prosciutto and Blue Cheese

3-4 oz (75-100 g) blue cheese
8-12 fresh figs, cut in half
8-12 slices prosciutto ham

Place a piece of cheese on each fig half. Wrap with prosciutto and
secure with a toothpick. Arrange cheese side up on a baking sheet and
bake in a preheated 375F (190C) oven until the prosciutto begins to
sizzle, about 10 minutes. Serves 4 to 6.
