Party recipes

Everyone loves a party, and this time of year you can certainly satisfy your urge for attending one. Between reunions, bridal showers or having friends over, few people find themselves without at least one party invitation. And if you find that you're the hostess for one of these parties. you’ll want some new ideas to beef up your selection of tempting appetizers. When appetizers are the only food you’ll be serving at your party, you’ll want to offer a variety — canapes, spreads or dips to serve with relishes, crackers, or chips; an assortment of hot and cold hors d oeuvres; and crisp vegetable crudites. Plan on about five or six appetizers per person. Imaginative homemade appetizers, such as canapes, give a personal touch to any party. These small open-faced sandwiches are usually made of crustless toast or bread and topped with a creamy spread and an edible garnish. They can be assembled before the party,, covered tightly and refrigerated Herb-flavored cream cheese makes the spread for Creamy Beef Canapes easy to prepare. The recipe calls for pimientoflavored cream cheese, but you can also substitute cream cheese with chives for the basic spread Top the spread with a chopped, cooked beef mixture garnished with sliced ripe olives. A second type of appetizer — spreads or dips — were invented by American hostesses who didn’t want to take the time to prepare canapes. Instead, the guests make their own “canapes’’ by spreading a mixture, such as Southwestern Beef Spread, on crackers or tortilla chips. This hot beef appetizer spread is made with shredded cooked beef, refried beans and a Southwester-flavored tomato sauce. For a unique serving idea, place the dip in deep-fried flour tortilla cups. Hors k’oeurves, like Mexi-Beef Bites, are another great pick-me-up appetizer. Team chopped green chilies, green taco or enchilada sauce, shredded cheeses and ground beef for a south-of-the-border flavor So when it’s time to host a special party this season, don't panic. Tempt your guests appetites with home-made beef appetizers.

Answers on Iris Q: I have many beautiful iris in my yard, but the weeds around them are bad. What can I use that wont hurt the flowers but will kill the weeds’ 7 A:There is no selective herbicide which is labled for use on iris to remove existing weeds. Decthal can prevent some weeds in iris, but only if the bed is weedfree at the time of application. To clean-up the bed, dig and reset the iris When the iris have been carefully dug, spray the weeds with Round-Up or Kleen-Up according to label instructions Wait approximately one week, then reset the iris being sure they are free of weeds So said "I met a fellow who doesn’t think that I am his equal, but I am. He’s a conceited idiot." - Tribune. Chicago
