Tell her all good cooks have a clean up crew to do the nasty stuff.

Since I'm not much at finesse when cooking...in other words the g/f gets that omg look and starts following me around picking up the trail of many dishes pots and pans and measuring cups, spoons, stirring utensils, spice containers, and empty beer bottles....whew...now I need another beer!..I also wrecked up her little auto not so matic chopper thingy, then reverted to a knife. All the while she is wondering what in tarnation is going to be the outcome. Well I can tell ya, I had two blues during the chopping gathering part. Then while you are waiting for the cream cheese to melt is where you need the most beer cause here is where the anticipation begins, and stirring only requires one hand. Now Cher is looking at this pot and has finally caught up with the myriads of kitchen tools left in my wake...she says wow!...this really smells great!..couple more beers and the cheese is finnaly in the liquid form! Now that's just me, like I said "inept" at kitchen skills...and 5 beers later, it was done!..so even a half baked chef can make this a great meal and for a few days too! We had it again with some shrimp and mussels added and seved it atop of linguine...mmm mmm gooood. Thanks Bob, for a great recipe and for restoring my confidence as a guy who can empty the cupboards of all the utensils and fill a dishwasher twice ...good for another beer..LOL [ Post made via Mobile Device ] Very similar to my cooking Mark I let the cream cheese come to room temp., then slice it up when putting it in. Speeds up the melting time a little bit. G/F does all the clean up work for me too Gray, ya sure that's gonna be enough?

Depends on the experience & abilities of the cook. Do not attempt this alone lilboat, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It does freeze well too IF you have any leftovers.
