Recipes of the month: Brian's Seafood Dip
3 bricks of cream cheese small bottle chili sauce
1 can minced clams minced onions (dried)
1 can crab meat (drained) garlic powder
2 small cans shrimp (drained) Worcestershire sauce
Blend together cream cheese with liquid from the clams, onions, garlic powder and
Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Stir in clams. Layer in a small bowl: cream
cheese mixture, chili sauce, crab meat, then shrimp on top. Lay a paper towel over
the shrimp, for about 20 minutes, to soak up some of the moisture. Eat on Ritz
crackers. Thanks for this wonderful recipe Brian!
Cherry's Bean Dip
1 can black beans (drained) 1/2 green pepper, chopped fine
1/4 - 1/2 red (sweet) onion, chopped fine 3 dollops sour cream
small can chopped black olives garlic salt
paprika
Blend all ingredients. Go light on the paprika because it gets hotter as it sits. Best
made the day before use.
This is a delicious, sweet, bean dip. Thanks Cherry!

Rock Painting - a craft to discourage:
So think about it. Isn't rock painting another word for graffitti; otherwise known as
vandalism? Some creative parents are just trying to get their children to connect
with nature by using it as a canvas for their creativity. However, just like removing or
destroying trees and wildflowers are prohibited so the next person can enjoy them,
so are rocks. Maybe encouraging parents to use sidewalk chalk instead of paint
would be better. Chalk washes off with the rain.
