Italian Salamis

It's been mostly Italian food this week. The highlight of which is the "great salamis" (thanks Bianca!). Here, with a few slices of butter and garlic french toast and a generous spread of my ultimate party herbed cheese, the plain and simple is turned into sumpteous "buon mangia"!

Ultimate Party Herbed Cheese:

1 block cream cheese
2 heapful teaspoons of mixed dried herbs
** optional: prepared luncheon meat, mashed (ie spam or purefoods luncheon meat)
** ground nuts: about 1/2 cup of peanuts or walnuts

Mash cream cheese and add in dried herbs (and luncheon meat) until thoroughly mixed. Shape into a log or ball and roll it unto ground nuts. Wrap in cling plastic and put in molds. Refrigerate for 3 days. Serve with crackers or bread.
