250 Potato Possibilities started as a project to document my obsession and research into the cookbooks of The Culinary Arts Institute, but now has morphed into an exploration of nostalgia and the domestic. Every now and again, I will choose a CAI recipe and recreate it for you, and hopefully some dinner guests as well. Expect to see good food, not so good food, and a lot of discussion of long ago food and culture.

250 Tasty Snacks
This week I have three parties. My friend Victoria's birthday, Thanksgiving at Paula and Terri's, concluding with a pie and hors d'oeuvres with Lara, Dominick, Andrew and Nicholas. As you can imagine, that's a lot of cooking. I decided to make a single dish that I can bring to multiple parties. And obviously that dish is a cheese log.
I turned immediately to 250 Tasty Snacks #1 (1970, original copyright 1965), which I knew would help me out. There was an interesting looking recipe for "Nut-Cheese Log," that used both cheddar and roquerfort, but it called for a half a cup of white wine and honestly, I just didn't trust it. So I've decided to stick with my trusty old standby.
