Thanks to Rosemary Zwick for this faux news report:

The Wall Street Journal reports this week that the candy industry is so
worried about falling candy sales they are now adding caffeine to their
candy. Well, that's every parent's worst nightmare - a fat kid who’s up
all night.

TODAY'S RECIPE
__________________________________________________

Bar-le-Duc not only refers to a town in the Lorraine, but also to the
currant preserves made there. Originally, the tiny seeds of the currants
were removed manually with the tip if a feather, and this laborious
process made it one of the most expensive fruit preserves in the world.

Bar-le-Duc Cheese

4 oz (125 g) cream cheese
3 Tbs (45 ml) red currant preserves
2 Tbs (30 ml) cream

Blend the ingredients until thoroughly combined. Serve slightly chilled
with crackers or melba toast.
Serves 4 to 6.
