Sweet Onion Dip

Dear Friend,

Another beautiful day here.

How about something different in the way of an appetizer? Fritos with swiss chess, mayonaise and sweet onions make a delicious combination. This appetizer recipe is what my friend Donna calls "A Cup, A Cup, A Cup." For a real taste treat, simply grate swiss cheese to make 1 cup, mix it in a quart cassarole with 1 cup mayonaise and 1 cup chopped sweet onions. Then add a touch of whatever you like - press a little garlic or crumbled bacon or don't add anything extra. Bake it uncovered in a preheated oven - 400 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly. Then dip away with those Fritos. It's smooth and creamy and just yummy and I'm not even a swiss cheese fan. Need I say that light Hellman's can be substituted for the real thing. I have even been known to lightly touch the top of this, when it has stood for a little bit and the oil floats to the top, with a paper towel to remove a little of the fat. Can also be fixed the day before you need to take it somewhere and reheated in the microwave. I have used this when I knew the meal would be heavy with salad and vegetables rather than meat. Yummy. I think I'd like to try this when dinner is cold gazpacho soup and a salad or half a sandwich.

I am grateful for good food.
I remember one Halloween when my elementary school aged boys made the headless horseman shaped from coat hangers and covered with their clothes. He was holding his head which was a carved pumpkin. So cute. Their idea and their project. They did it, together.

Take care,
