PARTY TIME

Well the story goes like this. It was a birthday party at my girl friends house "Karlyn", for all those who have birthdays in Feburary. That includes Kary, Jody, Ed, Clara and myself. I had the best intentions of taking pictures of my appetizers from start to finish. Well time got away from me and now all I have is this appetizer before it was placed in the oven. I had to take a picture of the completed appetizer in the magazine to show all. This one is of a Puff Pastry pizza squares with Balsamic Duxelle. My other neighbor, Virna came down and we made cheese and Walnut-Stuffed Mushroom Bundles in Phyllo Dough, and Bacon Wrapped Water Chesnuts.

We have have a fantastice grocery store, called "Fresh Market", that has really nice specialty items and they make their own dried French rounds that are to die for. So at the last moment I made Cambozola grape and walnut canapes' Now you say "what" what is Cambozola?, well its a combination of Camembert cheese and Gorgonzola cheese mixed together.

The party was a great success and all the neighbors had a good time.
