¼ C chopped parsley

Cajun Seasonings (Slap Ya Mama! or Tony Chachere's )

-------------

Combine cream cheese, sauces, garlic, onions and 1/2 C. of the nuts.

Form into a ball; chill for a couple of hours until firm.

Remove from the fridge and roll in the parsley and remaining nuts and sprinkle a little cajun seasoning on the ball.

Wrap in waxed paper and return to the fridge.

About 15 minutes prior to your guest arrival set the cheese ball out with assorted crackers.

 How do you peel and mince garlic???? OK first pull one of the garlic pods off the ‘garlic toe’...it has a white papery shell… to remove that…simply whack the clove with the flat side of your large kitchen knife…presto your garlic is naked !! NOW simply chop the stew out of that thing!!

Strange that I am already thinking about the holidays ... and it must be 90 outside or maybe it's because I have the AC set to 60!

Until next time.... maybe we'll cook rice!
