Check out this dip recipe. I found it in Southern Living (April 2009) magazine. Anything with real blue cheese in it will be fabulous. I'm trying it out on Anne, my good friend from Atlanta, when she gets here in about threee weeks. Give me the verdict if you try it out sooner than I do.Prep: 25 min., Cook: 7 min., Stand: 15 min., Chill: 4 hr.
