Both of these sound really good.
Iceblossom, what about possibly adding some capers to your salmon log? I'm thinking gooood.
aashley333, the cheese ball is a classic. Please post recipe if it's not too inconvenient. I love the 7 layer dip too. I haven't made one of those in ages.
I'm going to look for a french liver pate recipe and post it. I've made them before, but never kept the recipe on file.
I've also made an almond pate which is really nice...and vegan. I'll find that recipe too.
