Tailgating! Tailgating! Tailgating!

As we all prepare for college football, no tailgate party would be complete without the following:

Lace Cookies– one of my Grandmother Vera’s originals!

½ cup sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 cup quick cooking oatmeal
½ tsp. salt
1 Tbs. flour
1 egg, well-beaten
½ tsp. vanilla

Put foil on a cookie sheet. Put 1 teaspoon of cookie mixture on foil. Press down a bit. Bake at 325 degrees until golden brown. Cool, then peel cookies from foil. Store in a tin (great use for a VeryVera tin) to keep crisp.

Vera's Favorite Cheeseball

2 (3oz) cream cheese
4 oz. bleu cheese
4 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 tsp. Lea & Perrin Worcheshire sauce
1 tsp. tabasco sauce
2 tsp. Durkees sauce
1 sm. clove garlic, chopped fine
1/2 cup ground pecans
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Put half the nuts and parsley in the cheese mixture. Mix well and roll into a ball. Roll ball in other half of nuts and parsley. Wrap in wax paper and put in ziplock bag. Refrigerate but also, this freezes well for future use. Serves well with most any sort of cracker.
