Mr Slinger's Zinger Punch
Two 10-ounce packages frozen sweetened strawberries
One 6-ounce can frozen lemonade concentrate
1/4 cup sugar
Two 28-ounce bottles chilled ginger ale
One 28-ounce bottle chilled club soda
In a covered blender at high speed, blend strawberries, undiluted lemonade concentrate, and sugar until thoroughly blended. Pour mixture into a large punch bowl and add remaining ingredients. If your mouse guests like things really chilly, add ice.
Lilly's Luscious Cheese Bites
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1_ teaspoons dry mustard
4 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and grated cheddar cheese at medium speed until blended. Add mustard and beat until blended. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove cheese mixture from refrigerator and use hands to shape into small balls. A melon baller can be helpful. Roll finished cheese balls in sesame seeds and serve with crackers. Makes approximately 48 cheese balls.
Chester's Peanut Butter Toasties
Remove the crusts from one loaf of bread. Lightly toast crustless slices in a toaster or on a cookie sheet in the oven broiler. Spread peanut butter on toasted slices. Cut on the diagonal (of course!) and serve. For an added treat, top with M&Ms. Feeds approximately 40 hungry mice.
