"Marshmallows? Marshmallows?" said Bob. "A clue, I do believe! I have it: 'Marshmallows served with scissors!'"

"Oh, Uncle Bob, you're too funny!" cried Mildred, shouting with laughter.

"Appreciated at last!" said Bob.

(All measurements are level)

Broiled Lamb Chops (Three portions)

3 lamb chops
1 T-butter
1 t-salt
¼ t-paprika
1/8 t-parsley

Wipe and trim the chops. Place on a hot tin pan four inches from a direct hot flame (under a broiler). Cook two minutes, turn and thoroughly cook the other side for two minutes. Lower the flame a little, add the salt and pepper, and cook for eight minutes more. (A little longer if the chops are very thick.) Remove to a warm platter, dot with butter, add the parsley and serve immediately.
