i have been very remiss with blog writing and my only excuse is retirement….it does sound odd, but being in that euphoric state causes me to lose track of time and all responsibility. i never neglect my goldendoodle, however, and our daily 11\/2 mile walks sometimes cause me to take to my bed….for a nap. and there goes the day, so to speak. i have managed to busy my retired self in a few groups and there’s always the occasional “out to dinner”. my housemate is lolling around sarasota so the simple responsibilities toward house “maintenance” that have befallen me are pretty much IT. but aside from the cutesy adventures of said dog, i did find a yummy sounding recipe that i will be making for a party this weekend. it looks easy and a little different. here it is.<\/p>\n
CHEDDAR WALNUT CRISPS<\/p>\n
2-1\/2 ounces aged cheddar cheese, grated (about 1 cup)<\/p>\n
2-1\/2 ounces parmesan cheese, grated (about 1 cup)<\/p>\n
2 ounces walnuts, chopped small (about 1\/2 cup)<\/p>\n
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves<\/p>\n
1. preheat oven to 400 degrees and set the rack in the middle of the oven. line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.<\/p>\n
2. combine the cheeses in small bowl. drop mixture by rounded teaspoonfuls onto sheets, leaving about 1 inch between them. flatten with back of a spoon. sprinkle the tops with a few chopped nuts and some thyme.<\/p>\n
3. bake only 1 sheet at a time on the center rack, for about 5 minutes or until crisps are bubbling and the edges are golden brown. let stand for several minutes, then slide off the paper with a spatula. blot gently with paper towels and serve at room temp.<\/p>\n
4. makes about 5 dozen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
