The Carpenter's Son

One day Jesus was out for a walk, strolling near the walls surrounding heaven, when he heard an old man's voice call from the other side.

"Hello? Hello?"

Jesus replied, "Who is it?"

"Just a poor, old carpenter searching for his son," the old man replied.

Jesus' heart leapt with joy and he called out, "Joseph?"

The voice answered back, "Pinocchio?"

Rabbi Levy had to spend time in a Catholic hospital. He became friends with the Sister who was a nurse there. One day, she came into his room and noticed that the crucifix on the wall was missing. She asked him good-naturedly, "Rabbi, what have you done with the crucifix?"

"Oh, sister," chuckled Rabbi Levy, "I just figured one suffering Jew in this room was enough."

Fig Leaf Found

A little boy opened the large old family Bible, and he looked with fascination at the ancient pages as he turned them one by one.

He was still in Genesis when something fell out of the Bible. He picked it up and looked at it closely. It was a very large old tree leaf that had been pressed between the pages of the Bible long ago."Momma, look what I found!" the boy called out.

"What do you have there?" his mother asked.

With astonishment in his voice, the young boy answered, "I think it's Adam's underwear!"

Mint Tea Latte

By Nate650

I got this idea from my mom who used to make sweetened mint tea using tea bags, so I experimented with it to try to improve upon it.

2 teaspoons black loose-leaf tea

8 ounces filtered water

2-3 fresh spearmint leaves (with stems)

4 ounces milk

1 teaspoon sugar

Bring the water to a boil (let sit for a few minutes to prevent burning the tea).

Place loose-leaf tea, mint, and sugar in a French press (or tea pot), add the hot water, stir, and let steep for about five minutes.

Froth milk, add to tea, and pour in a large mug.

If using the tea pot method, strain tea in a large mug and enjoy.

Spiked Frozen Coffee Shots

Made from nothing more than sweetened condensed milk and very strong coffee, Southeast Asian coffee is a force to be reckoned with. Spike it with some coffee liqueur and freeze it, and you’ve got an adult take on frozen pops that are a great late-night treat at a cocktail party or any other time you want to get down.

What to buy: Silicone ice cube trays are key to easily unmolding the shots.

Makes: 30 shots

INGREDIENTS

16 double espresso shots (about 2 cups)

1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup coffee-flavored liqueur, such as Kahlúa

Toothpicks

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine espresso, milk, and liqueur in a large bowl and whisk until milk is evenly incorporated.

Pour mixture into silicone ice cube trays and freeze 3 to 4 hours. Place toothpicks in the partially set shots and let freeze completely, at least 8 hours.

When ready to serve, unmold the shots and consume immediately.

Graham cracker crust

For the crust:

12 whole graham crackers

3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) butter

3 tablespoons dark brown sugar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

For the crust: crumble the graham crackers by hand or with a potato masher to get fine crumbs. Heat the butter in a saucepan or microwave until half-melted. Work the butter into the crumbs with your fingertips until the crumbs look like wet sand. Using your fingertips, press the crust into a 9-inch pie plate or disposable aluminum pie pan to make an even layer over the bottom and sides of the pan. Bake until the crust is a shade darker, about 12 minutes, and let cool completely.
