                            TODAY'S RECIPE
__________________________________________________

This recipe is a cinch to make in advance and cut up just before
serving. I haven't given quantities here so you can adapt the recipe
depending on the size of your crowd, but you can count on one tortilla serving two to three people.

Salmon and Cucumber Pinwheels

Cream cheese at room temperature
Chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or dill
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
10-inch (25 cm) flour tortillas
Thinly sliced smoked salmon
Long, thin slices of English ("seedless") cucumber made with a vegetable peeler

Combine the cream cheese, herbs, salt, and pepper and spread in a thin
layer on the tortillas. Top with salmon and cucumber slices and roll
into a log shape. Trim the ends, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate
for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
Cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) rounds immediately before serving.
