That sounds rich and yummy!
Right now I am envisioning a couple of sectioned platters - the kind you can get cheaply and leave behind - full of goodies. I met one of the other invitees today - she's bringing spanokopita and baklava. Mmmm! (Wish I could eat!) |

Sheryl, where do you get English cucumbers? Are they standard at the markets now?

Yes they are very common now. They are just normal cucumbers but without seeds. Normally they are wrapped in a saran type wrapping with the name of English or Seedless Cucumbers in the produce section. They do cost a tad more but to me so worth it not having the seeds. They look longer and thinner then the usual cucumbers too being shorter/fatter.

You can tell - I only look for what we can eat since the rest of the food makes my mouth water too much! lol Plus, since my husband retired, he does almost all the grocery shopping. (Nice not having to limp around with a cart or be obvious with the little motorized wheelchair-cart thing.) So - I am ignorant about the new goodies - thanks for filling me in!
He won't be going to the party with me - too many people he doesn't know - so I will just wander about and meet the folks in our neighborhoods, and listen. Should be a lot of fun, even going solo. |

I remembered something I used to make before we couldn't eat chocolate.
I made a couple of pans of brownies using the mix then when hot from the oven, laid Andies Candies on top. As soon as they melt, I spread the chocolate and mint with a spatula - mint brownies! If you haven't tried them that way - they are delish! |

Kate--Here's a new recipe that was given to me a while back. This is absolutely wonderful and very easy to make!!!
Bean Salsa Dip 1 can Blackeyed Peas 1 can Black Beans 1 can Red Beans 1 can Shoepeg Corn (or any can of corn will work--I think that shoepeg corn is smaller kernels) 1 green Pepper, finely chopped 1 red Pepper, finely chopped 1 Onion, finely chopped 1/4 to 1/2 bunch fresh Cilantro 1 large bottle of Zesty Italian Dressing Drain and rinse the beans. Then mix everything together. This makes a large amount. Serve with Frito Chips or tortilla chips. Yummy!!!!
