Dips and Spreads

Well, you’ve gotta have something in which to dunk your homemade barbecue potato chips and pretzel rods, right? Creamy and cooling, these dips and spreads take us back to the days of retro cookouts and cocktail parties, when Tom Jones ruled the stereo and tiki torches lit the patio into the wee hours. In fact, this lineup would be right at home among the pastel suburban ranch homes of Edward Scissorhands. I hear he’s very good at cubing the pumpernickel loaf to make a bread bowl.
