Cherry Veggie Dip

This recipe is from Jane, and is posted for this month’s Recipes Around The World Recipe Round Up at Whatever Things…

I live in the middle of Michigan’s cherry country so here’s a recipe for Cherry Veggie Dip. I made it recently for a MOPS meeting. It was yummy!

1 cup dried tart cherries, chopped (I cut them in half with scissors)
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise

Combine cherries, blue cheese and walnuts in a medium bowl. Stir in sour cream and mayonnaise; mix well. Chill about 1 hour (or more) to blend flavors. Serve with veggies or with crackers.

Serves 24.

Down for the Count

If my experience with this illness is like everyone else’s in the family, I’ll probably be back to blogging in a couple of days.  See you then.

Saturday's Old Photo

As promised, here’s the photo of my Grandpa Vogt dressed up for Pioneer Days. I think he grew the goatee just for this occasion. I have this hung on my dining room wall, along with the photo from last week. This picture, like the previous one, was probably shot in the sixties.

Unfortunately, when the kids were little, one of them touched this photo with a very dirty finger and that bit of our family history is there for you to see, too.
