First off I want to share my daughter's favorite appetizer recipe. She was over here on Thursday night and I helped her make it. I think I chopped things a bit large so if you're making it maybe dice things smaller than in the photo.
GARDEN GREEK APPETIZER
Ingredients:
I pkg (8oz/250g) Philadelphia cream cheese
1 pkg (8oz/250g) Feta cheese
1/4c plain yogurt
1 garlic clove (Lisa used 2)
1/4tsp black pepper
2 tomatoes
1 med English style cucumber
3 green onions
3 black olives
mini pitas, assorted crackers & breads
Method:
-soften cream cheese
-crumble Feta cheese
-seed & dice tomatoes
-dice cucumber
-finely chop onions
-beat cream cheese, Feta, yogurt, garlic and pepper in small mixing bowl at medium speed with electric mixer until well blended.
-spread cheese mixture into a 10" pie plate; chill until firm. (Lisa uses disposible brownie sized aluminum tins)
-top with tomatoes, cucumber, green onions and black olives
-serve with mini pitas, assorted crackers and breads.
Makes 10-12 servings.
Unfortunately I can't eat Feta Cheese - I love it but it doesn't like me at all.
I don't know where the time is going. I think I have most of my gifts thanks to on-line shops but I also know there's a few things I'm missing that I have to go and look at myself. My dh needs a new housecoat and I want to be able to feel it before I buy. He doesn't sleep well so is up 3 or 4 times a night, watches TV for 1/2hr and then is able to sleep again. So he needs something warmer than the old one he has now.
My tooth/gum is feeling better thanks to the antibiotics but I'm going to go back in and see if I can stay on them for awhile.. like until after I've eaten Christmas dinner. It's so nice to be able to chew, although I'm still slow at it. If I stop taking the antibiotics it will just build up and be painful again. I asked my next door neighbour who is a dental hygenist for a root canal specialist.

Oh gee whiz with the tooth thing. Your daughters appetizer looks delicious. I hope your tooth will be ok for the Holidays. Nothing worse that being sick over the Holidays for sure.
Hope your tooth will be OK so that you can enjoy the holidays, root cancel sounds awful.
That appetizer looks yummy.

Sorry to read about your awful tooth pain in the last post. I'm glad you are on the mend.
I wish you luck with your tooth, root canals can be touchy things. Maybe you will be able to wait until after the holidays, I certainly hope you can. That appetizer does look appetizing!! Hang in there my friend, I hope you are better soon.
