One of the wedding gifts I received was a cookbook "Dining On A Dime". I am thoroughly enjoying this book. It as lots a recipes and advice for pretty much everything a woman deals with and lots of fun quotes, poems and quips. Not to mention a few recipes that are just funny, like "Elephant Soup". Did you know that elephant soup will feed 3,800 people? Of course if you are expecting more than that you can add a few rabbits, but only if necessary as most people don't like finding hare in their soup.

Here are a few more of my favorites.

"Face powder will catch a man but baking powder will keep him"

Substitutions

I didn't have potatoes...so I substituted rice,

I didn't have paprika...so I used another spice,

I didn't have tomato sauce...I used tomato paste,

A whole can...not half a can...I don't believe in waste!

A friend gave me the recipe

She said you couldn't beat it!

But there must be something wrong

As I couldn't even eat it!!!

This one isn't a funny, I've heard it before but it bears repeating.

Thank God for dirty dishes,

They have a tale to tell.

While others may go hungry,

We are eating well.

With home, health and happiness,

I shouldn't want to fuss.

By the stack of the evidence,

God's been very good to Us.
