After making folks put up with the myriad of appearing, disappearing and reappearing test posts, here’s something with (hopefully) some redeeming value. I got this recipe from the lovely Ms. Holly Orberg when she was my cube neighbor back at AT&T and got a craving for it the other night. It makes ~2 cups, but I don’t think there be an issue w/cutting it in half if you’re just snacking on your own.
1/2 # tiny salad shrimp*
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1-2 stalks green onion, chopped**
2 T ketchup***
Combine everything but the shrimp, and the fold in the shrimp. Let chill/setup in the fridge for about an hour, serve with crackers or chips. (It’s really good with Fritos.)
* If you can’t get salad shrimp, which I could not, you can go with small/medium shrimp and cut them up into little pieces. However, if you’re buying raw w/shells on and cooking them, you’ll need more than 1/2#. I used 31-40s and I’d say 3/4# (raw/uncooked) would have been better.
** I think fresh chives would also work nicely for this..
*** I use cocktail sauce, I also think that chili sauce could work too.

Well-executed, but I disapprove! :) Now I have to go out of my way to find the link for that post to bookmark it in LJ. :P

The link at the bottom on the left hand side on the LJ side has the post-specific link.

And now I’ve fixed it so it even says “permalink” :)

Nope–all the links, including the Permalink, are to CafeChatNoir.net. (Incidentally, the “originally posted at CafeChatNoir.net” link goes to the entry itself, not the main page as one might expect.) I’d have to go to pisceandreamer.livejournal.com/2007/02 (for example) to get to the individual LJ entries.

Oh, that’s what I meant - the links are here, not there. I’ll muck around some more and see what I can do. :)
