A blonde man joke from Lynn Helbing:
A blonde man's dog goes missing and he is frantic. His wife says "Why
don't
you put an ad in the paper?"
He does, but two weeks later the dog is still missing.
"What did you put in the paper?" his wife asks.
"Here boy!" he replies.

If you want to turn your usual macaroni &
cheese into a protein-packed meal that's completely guilt-free, this recipe is
just what you need. It's like the delicious love child of a tuna casserole and a
bowl of mac 'n cheese...
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
4 1/2 oz. (about 1 1/4 cups) uncooked high-fiber elbow macaroni
3 cups frozen cauliflower florets
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1/8 tsp. salt
1 cup frozen peas
6 oz. albacore tuna in water (two 3-oz. cans or one 6-oz. pouch), drained and flaked
4 wedges The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss cheese
3 slices fat-free American cheese
Directions:
In a medium-large pot, cook pasta per package instructions, about 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, place cauliflower in a large microwave-safe bowl; cover and microwave for 3 minutes. Uncover and stir. Re-cover and microwave for 2 - 3 minutes, until hot. Drain excess liquid. Roughly chop cauliflower, return to the bowl, and cover to keep warm.
Drain pasta, add to the large bowl, and re-cover to keep warm.
Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sprinkle with salt. Cook and stir until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add peas and cook and stir until hot, about 2 minutes.
