Review of last recipe - I couldn't find farmer's cheese at my local grocery store and had some sour cream at home, so even though it wasn't a similar product, I used the sour cream and was really happy with the results. The texture was different than it would have been with the farmer's cheese, but this exercise isn't always in going to multiple stores to find ingredients, it's to get the recipe tested (sometimes with substitutions); especially in the case of a simple appetizer.

TODAY'S RECIPE - CHICKEN LOG

I cut this recipe right off the Ritz cracker box!

2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp bottled steak sauce
1/2 tsp curry powder
1 1/2 c minced cooked chicken
1/3 c minced celery
1/4 c chopped parsley
1/4 c chopped toasted almonds
Ritz crackers

Beat together the first three ingredients. Blend in the next two ingredients and 2 tbsp parsley; refrigerate remaining parsley. Shape mixture into a 9" log. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 4 hours or overnight. Toss together remaining parsley and almonds and use to coat the log. Serve with Ritz crackers. Makes about 3 cups.
