(6,787 posts)...it's nice to take a break where we just do something repetitive and mindless for a bit. Like laying out cookies on a cookie sheet, or whatever...

(51,553 posts)I thought I was the only one who didn't like marshmallows. I am fine with them in a smore, but room temperature marshmallows taste like snot to me. Everyone else in my family loves them, so I would stick with this recipe and just not eat the marshmallow. Or, I might use yogurt covered raisins or some other piercable white confection.

Youre a mean one Mr. Grinch
You really are a heel.
You're as cuddly as a cactus,
And as charming as an eel,
Mr. Grinch!
You're a bad banana,
With a greasy black peel!
.
Your brain is full of spiders.
You've got garlic in your soul,
\
You have termites in your smile.
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile,
Mr. Grinch!
!
Your heart's a dead tomato,
Splotched with moldy, purple spots,
Mr. Grinch!
You're a three-decker sauerkraut
and toadstool sandwich,
With arsenic sauce!
Now, this is a challenge

except I use pecans in place of the almonds. One pinecone is a horseradish cheddar spread, the other is a garlic Parmesan cream cheese spread.
It's always a big hit...and so pretty.
I love the little santa heads, but I too would go with savory.

(8,175 posts)Parmesan Cheese Spread
12 oz cream cheese softened
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup mayo
1/2 tsp oregano leaves crushed
1/8 tsp garlic powder (I use fresh minced...a couple of cloves)
Cheddar Cheese Spread
4 cups finely shredded Cheddar (1 lb)
2/3 cups mayo
2 tbsp horseradish
dash Tabasco
salt
pepper
I love both of these but the parmesan garlic is my favorite.

(8,175 posts)It's not my idea. Got it from a magazine, but I loved it too.

(7,349 posts)I wonder what I could use in lieu of the marshmallows (which contain gelatin, a no-no). Anybody got ideas for a substitute? I suppose I could cut a banana slice into quarters or eighths and use that...
Coyote_Bandit
(6,783 posts)both the marshmallow and the banana and use a white cheese.
Was thinking I might make up a few of these using a smoked gouda?
bitchkitty
(7,349 posts)Vegan person here, that's why I don't eat marshmallows.
But I wasn't always a vegan, and do remember smoked cheese - that does sound like a tasty appetizer!
Coyote_Bandit
(6,783 posts)Peeling and slicing a mild flavored raw squash to use instead of the cheese or marshmallow?
Or you could also cut fresh apple to serve the purpose.
bitchkitty
(7,349 posts)Of course, I probably won't make them. I'm a big talker.

(5,946 posts)We are wrapping presents in B&N and this brings bigger donations to the charity. I got most of the pieces on sale after Christmas (did you know candy canes are good for several years? - it is according to the expiration date on the ones I bought and they cost 10 Cents on the dollar.

(13,297 posts)Very fun indeed. Had no idea about the expiration but certainly sugar is one of those keeps-nearly-forever materials... as long as nature's little creatures don't find it and nibble. I found a bunch of stored decorations from a couple years ago had been 'found' by some curious rodentia and they had a feast. Hopefully it was a minty sweet free-for-all with their furry littlun's.
Hope the sale goes well!
