Thanks to Ann from Ohio for this:

You have all seen those little hand painted signs hung in so many
kitchens. Many are heart warming and homey, but many are simply
hilarious. Here is a collection of the funnier signs:

1) A messy kitchen is a happy kitchen and this kitchen is delirious.

2) No husband has ever been shot while doing the dishes.

3) A husband is someone who takes out the trash and gives the
impression he just cleaned the whole house.

4) A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.

5) Thou shall not weigh more than thy refrigerator.

6) Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall never
cease to be amused.

7) A clean house is a sign of a misspent life.

8) Help keep the kitchen clean - eat out.

9) Housework done properly can kill you.

10) Countless number of people have eaten in this kitchen and gone on
to lead normal lives.

11) My next house will have no kitchen - just vending machines.

12) The only reason I have a kitchen is because it came with the house
when I bought it.

13) There are only three kinds of food - Frozen, Canned, & Take-out!

14) This is a self-cleaning kitchen. Please clean up after yourself.

Here is an elegant and tasty variation on the stuffed pepper theme.

Peppers Stuffed with Corn and Crab Meat

4-6 green or red bell peppers (capsicums), cored and seeded
2 1/2 cups (625 ml) canned, frozen, or fresh corn kernels
1 6-oz (170 g) can crab meat, drained and picked over
1 4-oz (115 g) jar pimientos, drained and chopped
1 egg
1/2 cup (125 ml) half-and-half or milk
1 Tbs (15 ml) melted butter
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Cayenne pepper to taste (optional)

Steam or boil the peppers until almost tender, about 10 minutes.
Drain and set aside. Combine the corn, crab meat, and pimientos in a
pot over low heat. Whisk together the remaining ingredients and add
to the corn mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until
the mixture is hot and slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Fill the
peppers with the corn mixture and serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.
