Easy, Crunchy, Bite-Size

A friend recently gave me this recipe for munchies, which is great for parties or snacks. It was easy and quick to put together and cook time is only 15 minutes.

1 Box Oyster Crackers
1 Bag Pizza Flavored Goldfish
1 Pkg of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix
12 Shakes of Garlic Powder
6 Shakes of Dill Weed
1/2 Cup of Olive Oil

Mix well. Bake 15 minutes at 250 degrees. Stir once.

Since I like a little heat I added a couple of shakes of Cayenne Pepper.

Eat and enjoy.

Kat, they just look sort of like oysters. They taste like saltines.

there is almost nothing cayenne or any other hot spice can not make better.

This is a good snack mix. My sister-in-law makes a very similar recipe... very addictive!

This sounds yummy and simple (ie, not 7 different kinds of crackers, nuts, etc in it). Pass some over here!

I am a hopeless cook, but I swear I am going to try a recipe like this one soon. My friend Maja in Poland has one (majmilys.blogspot.com/)and they seem to be all the rage there.

I'm glad you stopped by and I look forward to your comments. As Dr. Fraser Crane would say, "Hello, I'm listening."

...."We were Birds Without Wings. You were a robin and I was a blackbird. And there were some who were eagles or vultures or pretty gold finches, but none of us had wings. For birds with wings nothing changes. They fly where they will and they know nothing about borders and their quarrels are very small. But we are always confined to earth, no matter how much we climb to the high places and flap our arms. Because we cannot fly we are condemned to do things that do not agree with us. Because we have no wings we are pushed into struggles and abominations that we did not seek and then after all that, the years go by. The mountains are leveled. The valleys rise. The rivers are blocked by sand and the cliffs fall into the sea." -Louis De Berniere

Who Said It First?

The phrase "little birdie told me so" may find it's origins in this Bible verse. "Do not revile the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich in your bedroom, because a bird of the air may carry your words, and a bird on the wing may report what you say" (Ecclesiastes 10:20). The earliest form of the saying was included in John Heywood's collection of proverbs (1546). In 1583, Brian Melbancke wrote in 'Philotimus'" 'I had a little bird, that brought me newes of it.' In 1711, in 'Letter to Stella,' Jonathan Swift came close to the current version: 'I heard a little bird say so.'
