Mardi Gras 2009 - 24 February
Let's get things started with an absolutely scrumptious
dip recipe. And
this
is not just my personal opinion, although I
freely admit to being a
shrimp
dip fanatic. Here is what Gail Zweigenthal, former Editor-in-
Chief of Gourmet has to say about it:
"...The following dip, one of the delectable creations of a dear friend -
and wonderful cook and hostess - never fails to elicit raves."
What amazed and gratified me was how close this recipe is to
one I
dreamed up when hostessing a high-school pajama party ( a VERY
long time
ago!)
and have been making ever since.
Judy Rhymes's Shrimp Dip
1/4 cup packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
1/2 medium onion
2 scallions
3/4 pound cooked cleaned shrimp
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons bottled chili or cocktail sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
2 dashes Tabasco
Finely chop parsley and onion. Thinly slice scallions, and
coarsely chop shrimp.
In a medium bowl stir together cream cheese, sour cream and
mayon-naise until smooth. Stir in the parsley, onion, scallions, shrimp and
remaining ingredients until combined well and season with salt and
pepper.
Makes about 3 1/2 cups.
And while we are on the subject of dips, you might want
to experiment
with the following ingredients to create a fabulous Smoked
Oyster Dip.
I have made this countless times, but never the
same way twice...
cream cheese, sour cream, a dab of mayonnaise, chives, garlic, lemon
juice,
Tabasco and Worcestershire, smoked oysters (drained and
chopped), chopped
toasted almonds, and chopped black olives...

Lobotomy
"I lived near the main
street of the quarter which is named Royal.
Down this street, running on the same tracks, are two streetcars, one
named Desire and the other named Cemetery. The indiscourageable [sic]
progress up and down Royal struck me as having some symbolic bearing
of a broad nature on life in the Vieux Carre -- and everywhere else,
for that matter."
~ Tennessee
Williams, 1940
