Morsels

The morning newspapers are often a great source of amusement to me (as long-time readers already know.)  today's grins include...

TOO LITTLE TOO LATE
A woman who convinced her boyfriend that it was a good idea to kill her husband, was finally executed last night after spending the past 18 years in prison.  Judging by her appearance, she spent the time eating potato chips and pork rinds.

And what did she request for her final repast on Earth?  Nachos and a DIET FROSTED LEMONADE.

A MESSAGE TO THE POPE
Mind your own business - in Vatican City.  Not content by abusing his invitation to speak to our  Congress by lecturing the members, (by the way, water off of a duck's back) you also saw fit to praise Kim the Kentucky Klerk for her anti-gay stance and asked that the diet lemonade drinker (above) instead be sentenced to life in prison.

A reminder:  Vatican City and Catholics are your jurisdiction, not the United States.  Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.

THE US CHESTNUT PASTE SITUATION
This is hardly funny to serious bakers, but Whole Foods didn't have any; neither did Bristol Farms on its Website and Trader Joe's (Website) wouldn't say.  Apparently amazon.com is the sole purveyor.
