Ethel Nelmes says she ran across this food funny in Reader's Digest. Thanks for passing it along.

While I was making a huge batch of snickerdoodle cookies, I asked my
ten-year-old to read the recipe and ingredients off the box to me,
doubling them as he went along. He did as he was told. His first
instruction: "Preheat the oven to 700 degrees."

Here is an interesting and unusual variation on the classic ham and cheese sandwich.

French Toast Gruyere Sandwiches

1 can (4 1/2 oz, 125 g) deviled ham
1 Tbs (15 ml) mayonnaise
1 Tbs (15 ml) chopped fresh parsley
8 slices sandwich bread
8 slices Gruyere or Swiss cheese
1 egg beaten with
1/3 cup (80 ml) milk
4 Tbs (60 ml) butter

Mix together the deviled ham, mayonnaise, and parsley. Spread this
mixture on 4 slices of bread, top each with 2 slices of cheese and the
remaining bread. Dip the sandwiches in the egg mixture, coating both
sides. Heat the butter in a large skillet over moderate heat and fry the
sandwiches until golden brown on both sides.
Makes 4 sandwiches.
