We're going up to Logan in the morning for Thanksgiving with the people who are pretty much our second family. I haven't seen them in awhile so I'm looking forward to it. And since the dad is a doctor I'm hoping he'll take a look at the dodgy mole on my arm. Can't decide if it's better to show it to people before or after they've eaten. I guess I could save it for any conversational lulls during dinner.
Jenny made her famous cheesecake and the stupid oven messed it up. It'll still taste wonderful, though. I'm making my cheeseball, which is the thing I always fall back on when I need to bring a contribution. And since I've had friends ask for the recipe, I will include it here as my Thanksgiving gift to you. Please be warned that it's not posh or gourmet, but it is addicting.
I apologize in advance that there are no measurements.
Put 1 or 2 packages cream cheese or Neufchatel, softened, in a bowl. Do not use light cream cheese, for it is the devil's cheese.
Then add:
chopped green onion (spring onion to you Britishers--the green and white parts)
little bit of garlic or garlic powder
little bit of seasoned salt
dash of Worchestershire sauce
crumbled bacon if you want to go all decadent
The least messy way for the next step is to let the cheese mixture set for a while in the fridge. Then it keeps its shape better when you roll it into a ball or log. Dump chopped pecans on a clean surface or saran wrap and roll the ball around until it's covered in nuts. Serve with Wheat thin crackers and anything else that sounds good.
