Our thanks once again to George in Poughkeepsie for today's funny food
for thought:
There is a story about two fellows who died at ripe old ages and went
on to Heaven. It was, of course, the most beautiful, wonderful place
imaginable. One of them, eyes misting with tears, remarked, "Isn't
this marvelous?" The other said, "Yes! And to think we could have
gotten here so much sooner if we hadn't eaten all that oat bran!"

TODAY'S RECIPE
__________________________________________________
Apropos of the new edition of World Wide Recipes EXTRA!, I have
assembled a small collection of recipes for the slow cooker for this
week's menu. This recipe isn't in EXTRA! edition number 33, but many
more like it are. Please see
http://www.worldwiderecipes.com/extra.htm for complete details. Here
is the menu for "Slow Cooking":
Monday's Starter
Bacon and Horseradish Dip
Tuesday's Soup or Salad
Polish Cabbage Soup
Wednesday's Side Dish
Spicy Creamed Corn
Thursday's Entree
Curried Pot Roast
Friday's Dessert
Orange Pudding Cake
This recipe is great for entertaining because it makes a large batch
to feed a crowd, and you can serve it directly out of the slow cooker.
Bacon Horseradish Dip
3 8-oz (225 g) packages cream cheese at room
temperature and cut into small pieces
12 oz (340 g) cheddar cheese, shredded
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 scallion (spring onion), green and white parts, chopped
1 cup (250 ml) half-and-half or heavy cream
3 Tbs (45 ml) prepared horseradish
1 Tbs (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
12 slices bacon fried crisp, drained, and crumbled
Combine all the ingredients except the bacon in a slow cooker or
oven-proof covered baking dish. Cook covered on high heat or in a
preheated 300F (155C) oven for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, stirring once halfway
through cooking. Stir in the bacon and serve with thinly sliced
French bread, corn chips, pita wedges, or crackers. Serves 16 to 20.
