Thanks to Andrea Davis of Garland, Texas for this one:

I was in a car dealership a while ago when a large motor home was towed
into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and
the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister." I asked the
manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the
"cruise control" and then went in the back to make a sandwich.

__________________________________________________

It's amazing how just a couple of minutes over hot coals will enhance
the flavor of just about any fruit. It even works with canned fruits,
but you'll get better results with fresh seasonal fruit.

Grilled Peaches with Raspberry Coulis

3 Tbs (45 ml) butter
1/2 tsp (2 ml) ground cinnamon
4 - 6 peaches, halved and pitted
Raspberry coulis (see below)

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over moderate heat and stir in the
cinnamon. Toss the peach halves with the butter mixture and grill
directly over hot coals for 8 to 10 minutes, turning 3 or 4 times. Serve with raspberry coulis.
Serves 4 to 6.

Raspberry Coulis

1 cup (250 ml) fresh raspberries
1/4 cup (60 ml) sugar
2 Tbs (30 ml) Grand Marnier or liqueur of your choice (optional)

Combine all the ingredients in a food processor or electric blender and
process until pureed. Strain through a fine sieve.
 Makes about 1 cup (250 ml).
