I am lucky to have my very own veteran to keep me safe and sound. The Dave does not like to mention that he spent 3.5 years serving his country and was pretty darn close to making it his career- now had he done that, we would never have met and he would be retired on a beach right now (ok, for those of you know Dave know he is too white for the beach, but if I could retire at 40, I would be on the beach!)
So lucky for me (and a bunch of kids at various high schools across NC) he did not make the US Army his career. I told him we could snag him some free meals around town today, but alas, I preferred that I cook. We had smothered BBQ pork chops with mashed taters as an early dinner, but the I got hungry- shocker I know! What to do, what to do?
Then the commercial for the Memphis thickburger from Hardee's came on--- mmmm Memphis... BBQ.... fried chicken from Gus'.... NOOOOOOO! As it happens, I can't just run to Mempho to get some ribs...
I decided on something 'healthy'--a nice dill cream cheese spread on crackers. I like this dip/spread because you can have it as a dip or a spread.
Cream Cheese Spread with Dill
1 pkg cream cheese softened- fat free of course
1-2 tablespoons dill weed
1 tablespoon caraway seed
1-2 tablespoons minced onion (or dried)
garlic salt and pepper to taste
1. Mix together and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This will only get better.
Serve with ritz crackers or pretzels work too...
And yes, the Veteran did enjoy the snack! and I think while he enjoys a round or two of golf tomorrow, I will enjoy a Memphis thickburger and dream of walking down Beale....
