This is a part of the holiday season that I really enjoy...calling friends and family to catch up on the news, wish them the best of the season and generally just reconnect with folks that I don't see or talk to most of the year. I am grateful that I have a long distance plan that allows me to do this without breaking the bank!
We talked about doing a slow cooker full of hot chocolate for Christmas Eve but for this year at least, I think we'll stay with my usual tea. I do love tea and maybe we can make a nice pot of coffee for Larry. When I was on the hot chocolate thought process, I saw this Cocoa bar and though...cool idea! Maybe another time.
When I was reading the Global News feed yesterday, I cam across this recipe that they'd uploaded. In case you didn't catch it, here it is:
Mark's Crab Garlic Dip recipe... here it is:
Ingredients:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
dash cayenne pepper or Tabasco sauce, or to taste
1 can (7 1/2 oz) crabmeat, drained, finely chopped
Preparation:
In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, milk, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper or Tabasco sauce to taste. Gently stir in chopped crab. Top for fun with some chopped red and green peppers for that Christmassy look!
Chill and serve crab dip with chips, crackers, or raw vegetable dippers.
I have everything in our pantry so I may make this up to go with our raw veggies somewhere along the way. I love a crab dip but I am used to them being warm, this would be a change of pace.
And before I sign off...today's Christmas chuckle is:
