| For munchie/finger food, my first thought is hummus and/or baba ghanouj with cut-up pita bread. Tasty and relatively healthy. My second thought is some good ol' tortilla chips and salsa. $^) |

| Arabellamiller, can you tell me how to make the brie in phyllo dough? |
|
| There are a lot of recipes available for Brie in Phyllo or Brie in Puff Pastry. The latter is a little easier to make but here is a basic recipe for the phyllo version. The jam is optional in my opinion. Alexa **************************************************************** 1 (6-inch) round of brie Turn the "package" over and brush the top well with the rest of the butter. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 20 minutes. Remove and let sit for at least 20 minutes before serving with slices of French bread. This can be served as an hors d'oeuvre at a large party or as part of a brunch menu. Serves 10 or more. |

| Everyone sort of picks at the munchies until I bring out this one... this goes very fast every time. -------------------- Baked Brie Take a brie wedge and cut off the top rind (my personal preference). Place on an oven-proof plate. Spread the top of the cheese generously with apricot jam, then cover with sliced almonds. Place in pre-heated 325 F oven for 15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly. Serve with nice crackers. For a large group, I use a whole wheel of brie and put in a clear glass pie plate. I remove the rind on top and sides, allowing the cheese to melt and fill the plate. It's beautiful with the jam and nuts on top in the clear glass plate. |

| SCALLOPS CEVICHE The lime juice "cooks" the scallops in this simple hot-weather favorite. You may substitute 1/2 pound of your favorite saltwater fish for the scallops. 1/2 lb. scallops Marinate the scallops in a shallow nonreactive bowl in lime juice for several hours until they turn opaque. Gently drain, then add the remaining ingredients. Serve in small bowls with crackers on the side. Makes 4 small servings. |

| : ) the girls all love my brie- I do it in a cast iron pan with apricot preserves on one side, and 'chambord' raspberry jam on the other. the guys all seem to prefer my salsas- I do a pineapple/mango salsa with chipotle-based hot sauce, |
