I have Number 16...my absolute favorite snack: Spread cream cheese on a slice of ham and place a dill pickle spear on it and wrap it up. Then slice it like sushi.....YUMMY!!! Nickie

I go through a similar kick but with a dill pickle slice and a long strip of stinky 'ole swiss cheese. Place in a tortilla wrap and MMMMM MMMMMMM GOOOOOOOOOOOD! Even better--nuke in microwave for a few seconds (before you put pickle in it). Mandie
