             FOOD FUNNY

Here's a classic food funny courtesy of Pat Blatt of Merritt Island, Florida:

Seymour was a good and pious man, and when he passed away, the Lord
himself greeted him at the pearly gates of heaven. "Hungry, Seymour?" Lord asked.

"I could eat," said Seymour. The Lord opened a can of tuna, and they
shared it. While eating this humble meal, Seymour looked down into Hell
and noticed the enormous steaks, pheasant, pastries, and vodka.

The next day, the Lord again asked Seymour if he were hungry, and
Seymour again said, "I could eat." Once again, a can of tuna was opened
and shared, while down below Seymour noticed a feast of caviar,
champagne, lamb, truffles, brandy, and chocolates.

The following day, mealtime arrived and another can of tuna was opened.
Meekly, Seymour said, "Lord, I am very happy to be in heaven as a reward
for the good life I lived. But, this is heaven, and all I get to eat is
tuna. But in the Other Place, they eat like Kings. I just don't understand."

"To be honest, Seymour," the Lord said, "for just two people, does it pay to cook?"

             TODAY'S RECIPE
__________________________________________________

This dish has been in my family for at least three generations and
remains one of the easiest recipes ever conceived. It also tastes great,
and will please even the pickiest eaters in a crowd.

Pea and Peanut Salad

12 oz (336 g) frozen green peas
1/2 cup (125 ml) roasted peanuts
3 Tbs (45 ml) mayonnaise (or to taste)

Thaw the peas by running warm water over them in a colander for two or
three minutes - there is no need to cook them. Drain and combine with
the remaining ingredients. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Serves 4 to 6.
