Tue Nov 03 13:51:10 -0800 2009 22620 DaisyM 1 5153086 Mummm, relish tray: Baby Sweet dills Baby dills Possibly another type of pickle Greek Kalamata olives Green garlic olives Green blue cheese stuffed olives Swiss cheese cubes Cheddar cheese cubes Summer sausage & some other kind of dry sliced or cubes sausage Crackers are optional Texan queso with velveeta and a side bowl of salsa and corn chips are obligatory but not technically part of the relish tray. As are baked blue cheese stuffed mushrooms ya' know...appetizers. Although, that gives me an idea for marinated blue cheese stuffed mushrooms....Which technically would be relish tray fare. Seriously, that's the relish tray(s) I knew I wanted to marry into my husband's family when I saw the relish tray at the New Year's eve nosh so closely resembled my own families. Mmm I love the holidays.

Yum.

Bell pepper strips in multiple colors, good ol' carrots and celery, zucchini sticks if you can find tender, young ones this time of year, pickled green beans. I don't do things like olives or meats, partly because I'm the kind to fill up on them myself! Tue Nov 03 16:11:40 -0800 2009 5153005 130151 dmd_kc
