Thanks to Fran in Seattle for this oldie goldie:
1st customer: I'll have tea.
2nd customer: Me, too. And be sure the glass is clean!
(The waiter exits and then returns after a while.)
Waiter: Two teas. Who asked for the clean glass?

TODAY'S RECIPE
__________________________________________________
According to legend, a new cook in the Austrian Emperor's kitchen made
a mistake and burned the dessert, causing someone to cry, "What a
nonsense!" It was served to the Emperor anyway, and he loved it.
Austrian "Emperor's Nonsense" (Kaiserschmarren)
3 egg yolks
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) all-purpose flour
1 cup (250 ml) milk
1/2 cup (125 ml) raisins
1 Tbs (15 ml) sugar, plus additional for topping
A pinch of salt
4 Tbs (60 ml) butter
In a large bowl whisk together the egg yolks, flour, milk, raisins,
sugar, and salt to form a thin batter. Melt half the butter in a
10-inch (25 cm) skillet over moderate heat and add half the batter.
Fry until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat
with the remaining butter and batter. Shred the pancakes into small
pieces using two forks. Sprinkle with sugar and serve immediately.
Serves 6 to 8.
