Well, okay, maybe not too much on the glass slipper side, but I did want to share some fun Cinderella paintings, graphics and vintage pictures.

"Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased.
Nor is it etched on stone, for stone can be broken.
But it is inscribed on a heart
and there it shall remain forever."

Here's a recipe for my favorite appetizer:
Hot Olive Cheese Puffs
3 Tablespoons soft butter
1 Cup grated sharp cheese (I prefer CoJack)
1/2 Cup flour
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp salt (I usually don't add this)
2 1/2 dozen stuffed, medium green olives (helps if these have been patted dry)
> Blend butter and cheese. Mix in flour, paprika and salt (if desired).
> Shape into balls, about 1 teaspoon dough around each olive.
> Wrap in foil, freeze.
> When ready to serve, unwrap amount desired. Put on ungreased baking sheet.
> Bake at 400' for 10 - 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
> Serve warm. Makes about 30.
Keep these frozen and on hand for unexpected company.
About 1/3 of this recipe, when baked, never makes it to the guests.
I LOVE these cheese olive balls!
Well, here is a last vintage Cinderella picture for you, and finally a glass slipper!
