At the Robin Hood Foundation's charity auction in New York last year, the most coveted prize wasn't the slumber party with Britney Spears, or the skating lessons from Olympic gold medalist Sarah Hughes. It was a package called "Yeah, Baby!" that included a trip to the Bahamas and a dozen tickets to the annual Victoria's Secret lingerie fashion show. The winning bid, from five couples, was $560,000.

"I have made a lot of mistakes falling in love, and regretted most of them,
but never the potatoes that went with them." -- Nora Ephron
"The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family
nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found." -- Calvin Trillin
And now, for Carlo, the Crooning Chef:
How do you say, "My cups runneth over"?
OK, snap out of it: We present these items for your consideration:
A man dies and goes to heaven.
As he's standing in line, the pearly gates slam open and a man charges out.
He's dressed in a scrub suit and a white lab-coat, with a stethoscope around his neck.
He knocks over most of the people standing in line in his rush to move through the crowd.
The man asked St. Peter, "Who was that?"
St. Peter answered "That's just God. Sometimes he likes to play doctor."
Three doctors died and went to the Pearly Gates to be interviewed to see
where they would end up.
St. Peter asked the first one what he did on earth, and he said he was an obstetrician.
St. Peter asked what an obstetrician did and the doctor told him.
"Sounds pretty good; okay you can go in to Heaven."
The second doctor said he was a pediatrician and had to explain what that involved.
St. Peter said, "Sounds very useful, very good. You can go in, too."
The third doctor said he was the chief man in charge of a whole HMO conglomerate.
"Well, what's that?" asked St. Peter. So the doctor told him exactly what that involved.
"Sounds very important, very useful. You can go in, too."
So the third doctor goes through the Gates and starts to walk up the stairs.
St. Peter turns and calls after him, "Oh, by the way, you can only stay three days."
Three nuns who had recently died where on their way to heaven.
At the pearly gates they were met by St. Peter.
Around the gates there was a collection of lights and bells.
St. Peter stopped them and told them that they would each have to answer a question
before they could enter through the pearly gates.
St. Paul: "What were the names of the two people in the garden of Eden?"
1st nun: "Adam and Eve"
The lights flashed, the bells rang and in she went through the pearly gates.
St. Paul: "What did Adam eat from the forbidden tree?"
2nd nun: "An apple"
The lights flashed, the bells rang and in she went through the pearly gates.
And finally it came the turn of the last nun.
St. Paul: "What was the first thing Eve said to Adam?"
After a few minutes thinking, she says "Gosh, that's a hard one!"
The lights flashed, the bells rang and in she went through the pearly gates!
Picture! Picture! You know the rules!I like this one. She looks like she has a brain and a sense of humor, as well as being hotter than a habanero milkshake.

I'll take that as an endorsement, if I may. Incidentally, but cognizant of the need not to overwhelm,
I do have an encore -- should you find the time and inclination:
"I'm Lookin' Over a Four Leaf Clover"
And BTW, I really appreciated the help you gave me with Netscape fonts! Happy Cooking!
