7. To avoid burning, chicken breasts are covered in Coppertone.

6. The "cole slaw" is just mayonnaise and lawn trimmings.

5. The three-legged race is won by a three-legged guy.

4. Host tells you the burgers are 20% beef and 80% critter.

3. The steaks have been sitting in marinade sauce all night, and so
has your Uncle Earl.

            TODAY'S RECIPE
__________________________________________________

To be perfectly honest, you can serve this sauce with any fish, or if
you want to stick to salmon (one of my favorites), you can cook it any
way you want because this dish is all about the sauce. In fact, you
don't even need to put it on fish because it's also great on chicken
breasts, pork chops, and patties and cutlets of all kinds, It's also
great all by itself as a topping for pasta.

Salmon in Tomato Cream Sauce

1 - 2 cans (15 oz, 425g each) chopped tomatoes with liquid
1 cup (250 ml) heavy cream or half-and-half
1 Tbs (15 ml) anchovy paste
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Hot sauce to taste (optional)
4-6 salmon fillets, grilled, broiled, sauteed, or poached

Combine the tomatoes, cream, anchovy paste, salt, pepper, and optional
hot sauce in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and
simmer uncovered until reduced by about a third, 10 to 15 minutes.
Spoon over cooked salmon. Serves 4 to 6.
