-drained
1 pt Sour cream
Salt
Powdered garlic

Open can of olives. Eat a handful, just to make sure. Eat a few more. As
long as you leave at least half the can, you’ve got enough. Chop them up.
Add the chopped olives to the rest of the ingredients, stir, and chill for
2 hours before serving.

Quantities on the spices are left to you.

Btw, if you have never tried cream cheese and chopped olive sandwiches, let
me recommend them. Soften a package of cream cheese, add small can chopped
olives and a teaspoon or so of lemon juice. Stir well and spread. Gutsy
eaters add turkey.

Last weekend my sister took me to a Chinese restaurant and demanded I
order the won tons stuffed with cream cheese. I was skeptical but went
ahead and tried them. They were wonderful and last night I decided to
try and make them at home. I simply used a bag of won ton wrappers, a
large tub of low-fat cream cream, juice of 1/2 lemon and around three
to four tablespoons of sugar, creamed together. I placed a spoonful of
cheese in the wrappers and sealed them with water, fried them for a few
seconds on each side and was in heaven. Quick, easy and cheap for an
appetizer. But be warned, if you don’t seal them tightly and the cream
cheese pours into the hot oil, your in for splashing grease. I learned
the hard way ;}.
