We're off

Finals have been taken, bags have been packed, and as of tomorrow we are on our way to Cancun, and then Missouri with all the fam. Probably won't post till we get back in January. Merry Christmas to all!!

For Cathy (and any others who would like to enjoy)

This Thanksgiving we went to dinner at the Smiths who are Enumclaw friends that now live in Michigan. We had a wonderful yummy dinner and I brought a cheese ball that seemed to be a big hit. My family has made it for years and years and this was the first time I've ever made it myself. It's super easy and so good! Thanks for having us Smiths!

2 packages cream cheese (room temp)

1 block (16 oz) of extra sharp Cheddar cheese grated

1/2 white onion grated

1 large fresh garlic clove finely crushed

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Mix all ingredients together until well blended with spoon or hands. Form into a large ball, roll in finely crushed pecans and refrigerate for a few hours. Set it out to soften before eating. Serve with an assortment of crackers.
