I

love the holiday season. I'm a social butterfly; attending
intimate gatherings, work events, cocktail parties or
grand soirees is exactly what I like to do. And, by far,
appetizers and hors d'oeuvres are my favorite part of any
meal.
The different flavor combinations, the sassy or sweet
sauces that accompany the tidbits and the extremes in tex-
ture (crunchy, silky, chewy and soft) are right up my alley.
In fact, I almost always say that the appetizers are better
than the main dish.

SMOKED WHITEFISH

When I visit Northern Michigan, I can't
help but think "smoked whitefish" when I'm
there. This is a great use of the stuff.

% cup sour cream or mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 /2 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. hot red pepper sauce, such as
Tabasco

Garnish (optional):

Lightly spread vegetable oil on the inside
of a 3- to 4-cup fish-shaped or other mold.
Set aside.
Sprinkle the gelatin over water in a small
saucepan, and let it sit until the gelatin
is softened (about 2 minutes). Heat the
mixture over medium-low heat until the
gelatin is dissolved. Add half the sour cream
or mayonnaise, and stir until the mixture
is smooth. Add the remaining ingredients,
and stir well until the mixture is uniform in
texture.
Spread this mixture in the prepared
mold, and cover well with plastic wrap.
Chill for 6 hours or up to two days before
turning the mold over on a serving plate.
Garnish with lemon slices, sliced cucumber
and mini bagel halves if desired. Makes 12
or more servings.
