Here's a cute one from Thelma Hershorn of Toronto, Ontario:

A little boy came home eating a big candy bar. Seeing the candy bar, his
mother remembered he had already spent all his allowance money.
Surprised, she asked him where he got it.

"I bought it at the store with the dollar you gave me," he said.

"But that dollar was for Sunday School," his mother replied.

Smiling, the boy said, "I know, Mom, but the Pastor met me at the door
and got me in for free!"

Today's recipe comes from a friend who doesn't like to cook. Although
I'm sure that none of my readers fall into that category, there are
times when we aren't as enthusiastic about cooking as we usually are.
Here is a perfect recipe for those rare moments.

Oven-Fried Potatoes with Parmesan

4 baking potatoes
2-3 Tbs (30-45 ml) olive oil
1/4 cup (60 ml) grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Scrub and cut potatoes into thick slices. Place on a baking sheet and
drizzle with olive oil. Toss potato slices to cover entirely with the
oil. Place in 350F (180C) oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown on
the bottom. Turn potato slices over and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until golden brown on top.
Season with salt and pepper.
Serves 4 to 6.
