AIDS Care Kit Contents

Hi all!

Just thought I'd post the updated content list for the AIDS care kits (this is different than what was on the sheet given out at Church). I think we discussed collecting them at our Nov. 30th Home Church meeting, or else you can turn them into Church on December 5th.

If you'd like any other info about the kits, you can visit this website

2 large bars laundry soap (Some stores carry Fels Naptha ^®, Sunlight ^® or Zote ^® brands.)

Jo's Goat Cheese Dip

Here is the recipe I promised:

Goat Cheese & Fig Dip

1 heaping cup chopped dried figs
1/4 cup chopped dried prunes
1/2 cup chopped red onion
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 heaping tbsp. rinsed chopped capers
1 1/2 tsp. thyme
1 1/2 cup lightly toasted chopped walnuts
salt & pepper to taste

Mix all together & place over goat cheese (I use 2 logs 300 gm each spread in a 10" diameter round pan)

Warm and enjoy!
