Mix softened cheeses together in large bowl, throw in can of green chillies. Add the Worcestershire sauce mix together. Place grand size piece of wax paper onto table take the cheese mix, roll with sides of wax paper together Shape the cheese into roll. Shape. Pour chilli powder + pecans over the cheese roll. Roll all over the cheese roll. Very spicy, pecans are nice. Reddish cheese roll. Best with entertainment crackers. Good ! Serves many. Refrigerate.

On New Years day it is traditional near here to enjoy a can or two of Black eyed peas with chow - chow + Mexicorn, cheese shreds into cornbread, very nice ! Any brand black eyed peas are good to me ! Chow - Chow relish is many styles, homemade or from store, supposed to be good fortune here locally, old tale, I suppose ???

I found a brand of cornbread mix locally called Gladiola, very nice, sweet cornbread mix too.....different....

Anyway, I didn't enjoy Christmas dinner because of flu, hopefully, New Years food sets well for my tum tum ???!

Going to read a few books hopefully, I enjoy reading.
