Cheese Crackers
Lady Anne
This is a very old family tradition, made with bread before crackers were invented.
Grate a good cheddar cheese, onion to taste and add enough mayonnaise to blend.
Spread on Saltine crackers and broil till cheese has melted and they are slightly brown.
I have to make these in the middle of the night when kids are asleep if I want any at all.

CLAM DIP
Anne
One can minced clams
One small container whipped cream cheese
One small container crumbled blue cheese
Good squirt of lemon juice
Garlic powder
I get groans from people when they hear "Clam Dip"
but the they taste it and change their minds about clam dips.
If the dip tastes "clammy" put in more lemon juice.
The dip gets better if it "sets" for a day
