PIMIENTO CHEESE WAFERS

Something to do with the pimientoes that came in Mr. Giannini's olives...

Mash a pimiento cream cheese, moisten with cream and force through a pastry bag and tup on unsweetened wafer crackers. If a pimiento cream cheese is not obtainable add one tablespoon finely chopped canned pimiento and a few grains of salt to one large cream cheese.

GRILLED OYSTERS

To be eaten with the correct fork, of course, at Mrs. Mellon's home.

Clean one pint of oysters and drain off all the liquor possible. Put oysters in chafing dish or omelet pan on very low fire and as liquor flows from oysters, remove with a spoon and so continue until oysters are plump. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and add two tablespoons of butter. Serve with oyster crackers.
