artichoke dip
a picky eater i may be and this recipe encompasses two things that i dont like but somehow the combination i love! i just pretend like they aren't in there...the first time ann hughston ever made this for me i think i said "there's mayo in this isnt there?" haha...enjoy her artichoke dip as we will be enjoying it at the lake this weekend for new years!
what you need
1 can of quartered artichokes (chopped up)
1/2 onion finely chopped
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup of Parmesan cheese
Just enough mayo to cover the artichokes when stirring
paprika for garnish
what you do
put butter and onion in microwave safe bowl. cook in microwave for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. heat more/less depending on your microwave until onions are soft. mix onions and artichokes in bowl--add mayo slowly by the spoonful until covers artichokes. add parmesan cheese. Put in a casserole dish and sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes/until hot

merry merry merry Christmas
merry Christmas!
who would have ever imagined there would be this many stockings on our mantle? hopefully you have a good Christmas full of lots of fun things, family bonding, while remembering the true reason we celebrate the holiday...it is so interesting to hear about everyones family Christmas traditions and how Christmas was done when you were little...
for me however i still request that santa comes every year and no presents appear until the christmas morning...santa still gets milk and cookies and wraps every single one of our presents as well as the contents of our stockings. sid still sits in his chair and is on wrapping paper clean up duty with his cup of coffee dictating when we take breaks from the festivities.
monica and jeramy will be here soon and the gift opening will begin. what a fun year to add in 2 dogs, a husband, and fiance to the guertin mix. i secretly think sid is just thankful to have 3 boys [including wilson] home for the holidays...merry, merry, merry Christmas!
