By definition, if he's *self-appointed*, his role ends when he says it
does.

Indeed. But I now prefer the role of publisher, providing valuable
information to improve the reading enjoyment of others.

Then I'm going to ask you another favor.

Do you happen to have a link to a poem Elzi wrote about deadlifting? It
was lovely but it wasn't named deadlifting in the title. Maybe
something about the moon? Or werewolves? I really don't remember.
It's hard to google under those circumstances.

Maybe some people's minds just don't work well with database
searching. It took about three minutes:

Thank you for your support...

Merry Christmas by the way!

I'm fixin' to quit wasting time here and go do some cooking.
I have some cheese balls to make! Very easy:

8 oz. cream cheese at room temp.
8 oz. fine shredded Colby/Jack cheese
2 tbs. grated parmesan
1 small can of minced black olives

Combine the cheese in a bowl until well mixed.
Form into a ball and turn out onto a foil covered peice of cardboard if
you are taking it to a party (this makes it disposable) or a plate if
you are doing this for a home appetizer.

Form the cheese into a 1/2 sphere, then coat it liberally with the
minced olives.

Chill until set.

Serve with your choice of crackers.

Chopped green salad olives also work.

Great recipe! Really sounds yummy thanks. Even seems simple to make.
Merry Christmas Om!

Most welcome!

Yes, cheese balls and cheese logs are easier to make than folks might
think. You can do variations on that using different cheese and mixing
chopped nuts and herbs in there as well.

I did a Havarti cheese ball one year with just a fresh minced basil
coating. It went over very well!

Canned Romanoff caviar also works as a coating if you really want to get
fancy for, say, a New Years eve bash. <G>

Home made cheese balls also make excellent Christmas gifts.

Cheers!

Tell me this ...

Is it my imagination, or have a couple of people engaged in almost
manic posting today, all on a single subject, regardless of the
subject of the thread?

If so, does that tell you anything?

That there's a high noise to signal ratio.

I actually got a good answer. In fact, both Lee and Om said the same
thing and I'm planning on checking out the glove options at my local
Agway when I go to buy the dog food that is Cohen-approved.

I don't need much help these days, but when I do, MFW comes through.

Dally

I'm glad. :-)

Merry Christmas Dally!
I hope you and your family have a wonderful day...

Something magic about Cream Cheese and olives!
Try mixing a bit of dill with that sometime.

I'll experiment with a couple today.

I'll bet this would go well with stuffed (canned) artichoke hearts too.

I'm not very fond of canned artichoke hearts. By the same token,
there is nothing like a true, freshly cooked, sans leaves, artichoke
heart. Unfortunately, producing just a few artichoke heart cups is
both expensive and labor intensive.

Exactly. ;-)

Pressure cooking artichokes speeds it up tho'.
Once it comes up to pressure, time it for 15 minutes max.

The entire top then will lift right off if all you want is the heart.
The leaves can be refrigerated then for later noshing.

I agree, fresh is FAR superior to canned!

I do the olives after I drop the turkey in the oil. That's only about
two hours before dinnertime.

I've never deep fried a turkey yet!
I might indulge in a cooker if the rest of the family moves back from
Arizona.

I'm doing seafood for Christmas dinner. Sautee'd fresh water and large
gulf prawn as the main meat, but I think I posted the menu in another
post already.

There were some nice jumbo shrimp rings for a really good price at the
store just the other night. I considered getting one, but I knew I
would eat it before Christmas dinner.'

I heard that!
Shrimp is, by far, one of my #1 favorite eats!

They do freeze well, and that would have helped to keep you out of it
maybe? <G>

Very charitable interpretation. I thought of it more as, "hey, I'm lazy
and he's providing a service, may as well use it." :-)

It's a nice poem. Thank you for uncovering it for me again.

Interestingly enough, I got better with cooking creatively when I
started eating low carb. It took creativity to keep from getting bored.
;-)

The secret to getting good at it is a willingness to experiment, a
"knack" for flavor combinations (that comes with experience) and a
creative imagination.

It also helps to join a cooking list...... <G>

Well, there lies the problem. What you are saying is that to be a good cook
you need talent to begin with. I've got just about enough talent to make
toast and boil water for coffee!

Stir fry is amazingly versatile!
Any meats and veggies will do, and the main flavorings are fresh garlic,
fresh ginger root and a bit of soy sauce...

Good luck!

kind of a greyish-brown now. They're torn and the velcro doesn't stick
and the fingers are all sort of frazzled.

I don't use any gloves, straps, belts, etc... What's the saying? Butch up?

I find it hilarious to see these guys go into the gym weighing all of 130#.
They put their gloves or straps on and instantly gain 65#. That may be the

wear them mostly so I won't get splinters from the friggin ancient
