Here's a good one from Alan Withee:

If you receive an email from the Department of Health telling you not to
eat pork packed in a can because of swine flu, ignore it. It's just spam.

Alcohol and acidic liquids are common ingredients in marinades, so what
would you call one that contained tequila, lime juice, and salt? Sounds
like a Margarita to me. Use this tangy tropical marinade to season fish, shrimp, or poultry.

Margarita Marinade

1/2 cup (125 ml) fresh lime or lemon juice
1/4 cup (60 ml) tequila
2 Tbs (30 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp (2 ml) ground cumin
1/2 tsp (2 ml) chili powder
2 - 4 cloves garlic
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Process all ingredients in an electric blender or food processor until
smooth. Marinate meat for 30 minutes to 2 hours before grilling.
Makes about 3/4 cup (180 ml).
