Cooking

Some of you may remember that one of the activities I do up here is cook. You need to come armed with recipes for hors d' oeuvres to be exact. I probably have three cookbooks on just that subject. Of course now you can find most anything you want to prepare online.

I made three items for a party on Sunday night. You see it was a membership party of a Repertory Theater (an excellent one) that is about 50 miles over two mountain passes from here. Tom and I have been in charge of this party for the last ten years.....and it is quite large. Sometimes over one hundred people.So believe it or not we found a couple to take it over for us (finally). Naturally I felt obligated to at least help out. These are little ham stacks with horseradish cream cheese layers. I thought they were pretty...and I was so busy that I forgot to taste one...They must have been okay because they were all gone at the end of the party.

I also made these tiny pizzas. They are easy...but time consuming. Small circles are cut out of a large flour tortillas and you stuff them into a mini muffin pan. Put a dollop of pizza sauce, a bit of mozzarella cheese and three little mini pepperonis on top. . Ten to twelve mins. in  375 degree oven and top with fresh chopped basil when the come out. They are always a hit.

Then I made chocolate fudge. They are covered up to keep my husband out of them. So with these three and some lemon squares I picked up from the bakery...I was a welcome sight.

Excuse the bad photography. I was hurry so I barely had time to snap the lens!

Do you like to cook? If so what is your specialty?
