THE MAGDALENE SISTERS

The Magdalene Sisters - An excellent movie. It's based on true events, and tells the story of 4 girls who were banished to a convent in Ireland to work in a laundry. Each girl came to be there in a different way, and it was like they were in prison, only they were sent there suddenly, seemingly without good reason, for life. They did not choose a vocation, and this place was not a school. They were there to work for the nuns and the church. It is a creepy, all too real story about authority gone wild. You see this movie and then tell me that the United States keeping prisoners at Guantanamo Bay is not wrong.

It's Superbowl Sunday, and we are invited to an annual Superbowl party. I'm going to take this super Baked Cheesy Onion Dip....It's just the kind of recipe I love to make. Few ingredients, few steps and yummy. Except probably just before I make it, I'll check to see whether there isn't something new and fun in my 3-4 ingredient cookbook.....

Baked Cheesy Onion Dip
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or various cheeses shredded)
1 cup Helmann's Mayonnaise

Lightly saute the onions just to bring out the flavor, then combine with cheese and mayonnaise in a small baking dish. I like to use a souffle type dish. Bake at 350 degrees for about 1/2 hour or until the top is crusty and bubbly.
Serve with chips/crackers/vegetables.
