Here's a cute one from Rosemary Zwick:

A little girl asked her mother for a dollar to give to an old lady in a
wheelchair in the park. Her mother was touched by what she viewed as her
child's kindness, and gave her the dollar. "There you are, my dear,"
said the mom. "I guess the lady isn't able to work anymore."

"She works," came the child's innocent reply. "She sells candy."

If there is one thing this little recipezine will be remembered for, I
hope it will be for providing numerous healthy alternatives to sugar-
and fat-laden desserts that characterize the American diet. Here is
another one for future gastronomes to study:

Peaches Chianti

4 - 6 large ripe freestone peaches
2 Tbs (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
2 Tbs (30 ml) sugar
1 cup (250 ml) Chianti or other full-bodied red wine
Biscotti for garnish (optional)

Cut the peaches into wedges. Combine all ingredients in a stainless
steel or glass bowl and refrigerate covered for 8 to 24 hours. Serve
peaches in wine glasses with a little of the wine mixture spooned over
them. Serve with biscotti if desired.
Serves 4 to 6.
