Water Bugs and Roaches
Water Bugs
|
Ingredients: Makes 5 Bugs 
|
| |
- 5 Kalamata olives
- 30 long fresh rosemary leaves
|
|
- 10 short fresh rosemary leaves
|
- These have just enough zippy flavor that you might stick out your tongue and hope for more. For each bug, roll 6 rosemary leaves between your fingers so they have a long, rounded shape.
- Pierce the olive with a toothpick in 3 places on each side for legs. Insert 1 rosemary leaf into each hole.
- Insert 2 short rosemary leaves in front for the antennae.

Roaches
|
Ingredients: Makes 5 Roaches
|
| |
- 4 teaspoons cream cheese, softened, plus more for attaching legs and head
- 1 T. chopped walnuts
|
|
- 5 pitted dates
- 3 dried cherries
|
- These roaches are sweet, crunchy and curiously chewy. To create your
own, stir together cream cheese and walnuts.
- Cut 1 cherry in half and cut 6 thin legs from 1 half; use the other half to cut 5 roach heads.
- Cut 12 thin legs from each of the 2 remaining cherries.
- For each roach, pipe the cream cheese mixture into the hole at one end of the date. Attach the head and legs to each roach using more cream cheese.
