EDITORS COMMENTS
Welcome to another issue of Around the Kitchen Table!
Memorial Day get togethers signal the beginning of summer picnics and barbecues. When you fire up the grill remember to use Watkins pepper, spices, herbs, steak sauce, and soy sauces for extra flavor.
Recipes this issue include Veggie Pizza Squares, Teriyaki Beef Burgers, Cacciatore Burgers, and Creamy Tropical Banana Pie.
I have some sad news. My 85 year old mother passed away May 7. My family and I were in Idaho for several days but are back home now. We had a beautiful spring day for the memorial service.

MOTIVATIONAL WORDS
Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.

LAUGH WITH ME
Computer Tech Support
Tech support: What kind of computer do you have?
Female customer: A white one
Customer: Hi, this is Celine. I can't get my diskette out.
Tech support: Have you tried pushing the button?
Customer: Yes, sure, it's really stuck.
Tech support: That doesn't sound good; I'll make a note.
Customer: No, wait a minute. I hadn't inserted it yet. It's still on my desk. Sorry.
Tech support: Click on the 'my computer' icon on to the left of the screen.
Customer: Your left or my left?
Tech support: Good day. How may I help you?
Male customer: Hello. I can't print.
Tech support: Would you click on "start" for me and...
Customer: Listen pal; don't start getting technical on me! I'm not Bill Gates.
Customer: Hi, good afternoon, this is Martha, I can't print. Every time I try, it says 'Can't find printer'. I've even lifted the printer and placed it in front of the monitor, but the computer still says he can't find it.
Customer: I have problems printing in red.
Tech support: Do you have a color printer?
Customer: Aaaah....................thank you.
Tech support: What's on your monitor now, ma'am?
Customer: A teddy bear my boyfriend bought for me at the 7-11.
Customer: My keyboard is not working anymore.
Tech support: Are you sure it's plugged into the computer?
Customer: No. I can't get behind the computer.
Tech support: Pick up your keyboard and walk 10 paces back.
Customer: ok
Tech support: Did the keyboard come with you?
Customer: Yes
Tech support: That means the keyboard is not plugged in. Is there another keyboard?
Customer: Yes, there's another one here. Ah, that one does work.
Tech support: Your password is the small letter "a" as in apple, a capital letter V as in Victor, the number 7.
Customer: Is that 7 in capital letters ?
Customer: Can't get on the Internet.
Tech support: Are you sure you used the right password?
Customer: Yes, I'm sure. I saw my colleague do it.
Tech support: Can you tell me what the password was?
Customer: Five stars.
Tech support: What anti-virus program do you use?
Customer: Netscape.
Tech support: That's not an anti-virus program.
Customer: Oh, sorry, Internet Explorer.
Tech support: How may I help you?
Customer: I'm writing my first e-mail.
Tech support: What seems to be the problem?
Customer: Well, I have the letter 'a' in the address, but how do I get the circle around it?
A woman customer called the printer help desk with a problem with her printer.
Tech support: Are you running it under windows?
Customer: "No, my desk is next to the door, but that is a good point. The man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window, and his printer is working fine."

RECIPES

Veggie Pizza Squares
Serve this hearty, creamy and full-bodied veggie pizza as an appetizer.
2 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated reduced-fat crescent rolls
1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese
1 package (8 ounces) fat-free cream cheese
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/3 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/4 cup fat-free milk
1 tablespoon Watkins Dill
1/2 teaspoon Watkins Garlic Salt
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup fresh cauliflowerets, chopped
1 cup fresh broccoli florets, chopped
1 cup julienned green pepper
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
2 cans (2-1/4 ounces each) sliced ripe olives, drained
1/4 cup finely chopped sweet onion
Unroll both tubes of crescent dough and pat into an ungreased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan; seal seams and perforations. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
In a small mixing bowl, beat the cream cheeses, yogurt, mayonnaise, milk, dill and garlic salt until smooth. Spread over crust. Sprinkle with carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, green pepper, mushrooms, olives and onion. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Cut into squares. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield 2 dozen.

Teriyaki Beef Burgers
1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 can (8 ounces) water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1/4 cup Watkins Tangy Teriyaki Soy Sauce
1/3 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
2 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon Watkins Ground Ginger
6 lettuce leaves
6 hamburger buns, split
In a large bowl, combine the beef and water chestnuts. Shape into six patties. Place in a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. dish.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sherry or broth, onions, brown sugar, garlic and ginger. Pour 1/2 cup over patties; cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.
Coat grill rack with nonstick cooking spray before starting the grill. Drain and discard marinade. Grill patties, covered, over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until meat is no longer pink, basting occasionally with reserved marinade. Serve on lettuce-lined buns. Yield 6 servings.
Cacciatore Burgers
1/2 teaspoon Watkins Garlic Salt
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
1/3 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon Watkins Italian Pepper
1 pound lean ground turkey or chicken
2 cups baby spinach leaves
4 slices part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 plum tomatoes, sliced
2 slices red onion, separated into rings
4 hamburger buns
Mix the chopped onion, red pepper, shredded cheese, tomato paste, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, pepper and garlic salt. Add turkey or chicken and mix well.
Shape into four patties. Broil or grill until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F.
Place turkey or chicken patty and a cheese slice on each bun. Broil for 1 minute or until cheese is melted. Top with spinach, tomato and onion slices. Yield 4 servings.
Creamy Tropical Banana Pie
This pie is cool, creamy, and lighter than air.
Pastry for a 9 inch pie
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1-1/4 cups cold fat-free milk
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/4 cup sugar or Splenda No Calorie Sweetener equivalent to 1/4 cup sugar
1 small package sugar-free instant banana pudding mix
2 cups reduced-fat whipped topping
1/4 teaspoon Watkins Pineapple Extract
1/4 teaspoon Watkins Coconut Extract
1/2 teaspoon Watkins Vanilla Extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 medium bananas
Prepare pastry on a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle with pecans; lightly roll pecans into pastry. Transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450 degrees F for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the milk, sour cream and sugar or sugar substitute. Gradually whisk in pudding mix. Add pineapple, coconut, and vanilla extract. Fold in whipped topping.
Place lemon juice in a small bowl. Slice bananas into juice and stir gently to coat. Set aside 1/3 cup; spoon remaining banana slices into the crust. Top with pudding mixture and reserved banana slices. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. Yield 8 servings.
