Did you know that's the title of a book? I first saw it in my doctor's
office about 15 years ago.

I know a guy who belonged to a religious denomination that is supposed
to avoid caffeine. When he discovered (after beig kidded about it) that
Coca Cola has caffeine he quit the Latter Day Saints and joined Jehovah's
Witnesses. Go figger.

I went to the website from which that recipe came and it's loaded with
fast, easy, tasty (hard to get all three in the same recipe) recipes.
So, I signed up for their mailing list, This recipe looks like Sunday
