Rain ~ Pepperoni Pizza Dip ~ Dave & Pam Clark ~ LASD Posse 1894 ~ Apricot Day


Good 43º raining morning.

Yesterday, being able to see my  mountain gave me hope the clouds would disappear and the sun would come out.

.... but by 10:30 it was raining! Started up again in the night. So far only about 1/2". Nothing like So. Cal is getting and evacuations for the Duarte area where there were fires. 



Here is a super good Pepperoni Pizza Dip...






8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
8 oz shredded Italian cheese blend, divided
14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
1/4 t garlic powder
1 T Italian seasoning
1/2 t salt
1/2 t pepper
12 slices pepperoni
4 slices cooked bacon, chopped (or 1/4 cup bacon bits


1. Preheat oven to 350º.
2. In blender combine tomatoes, garlic, onion, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper until pureed. Set aside.
3. In bowl combine cream cheese, sour cream, and 2 oz of the shredded cheese. Mix until well combined.
4. Spread cream cheese mixture in an even layer over baking dish (8x8 pie plate is good)
5. Pour tomato mixture evenly over cheese mixture and spread evenly.
6. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top and then place pepperoni and bacon on top.
7. Bake 20-25, until cheese is browned and bubbly.
Serve with Parmesan Bread Sticks!

It's WINTER, so why is this today's national day??????
https://foodimentaryguy.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/apricot.jpg

Here are today’s five thing to know about Apricot:

  1. In Latin, apricot means ‘precious’.
  2. The apricot, discovered about 4,000 years ago in China, was introduced to the United States in the 18th century.
  3. Brought to California by Spanish explorers, the apricot quickly became a popular crop.
  4. Today, apricot farmers in California produce more than 95 percent of the apricots grown in the United States.
  5. Choose an apricot that’s plump and that responds to the slight pressure of your thumb. It should be slightly soft.
