Thanks to Lillian Toka for this vintage groaner:
Most people don't know that in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was
manufactured in England. The Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the
condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico which was to be
the next port of call for the great ship after New York City. The
people of Mexico eagerly awaited the first delivery and were very
upset at the news of the sinking. So much that they declared a
national day of mourning which they still observe today. It is known,
of course, as Sinko de Mayo.

TODAY'S RECIPE
__________________________________________________
In spite of being a quick and easy recipe, these cookies look so
elegant that your guests will think you bought them at a bakery.
Quick Fruit Pinwheels
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (about 9 oz, 250 g), thawed
About 1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar
About 1/2 cup (125 ml) jam or preserves of your choice
Roll the pastry out just enough to remove the creases. Brush with
water, roll up like a jellyroll, and cut into 1/4-inch (5 mm) rounds.
Place the sugar on a plate and press one side of the pastry rounds in
the sugar. Arrange sugar side up on a baking sheet. Form a small
hollow in the center of each round by pressing with a finger. Spoon
about 1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) of jam into each hollow and sprinkle with
additional sugar. Bake in a preheated 400F (200C) oven until golden
brown, about 20 minutes. Cool on wire racks. Makes about 2 dozen
cookies.
