April Rogers writes, "As a fairly new diabetic I found this extremely funny."
 
A fellow nurse at my hospital received a call from an anxious woman.
"I'm diabetic and I'm afraid I've had too much sugar today," she said.
 
"Are you lightheaded?" my colleague asked.
 
"No, I'm a brunette."

Fresh herbs are the key to this classic seasoning blend. Use it on
steaks and chops, or rub it under the skin of chicken or other birds
whether you are planning to grill, broil, fry, or roast them.
