The 1000 island is from Kraft. Craig used purchased Marie's Ranch dressing for his vegetables. I've been known to use celery and carrot sticks with dressing for a snack, sometimes mushrooms and lightly steamed broccoli, using salad dressing for a dip.

Our cocktail sauce for shrimp is

About 1/3 cup ketchup
3-4 Tbsp prepared horseradish
Juice of half a lime more or less
1/2 to 1 Tbsp Worchestershire

Honestly, I eyeball everything so I'm guessing on amounts. The amount of ketchup is probably what I started with, but the rest is a guess because I make the mix first, then taste and adjust, generally adding a little more of the last 3 until I get the taste I want.

Thanks, that's pretty much how I would make a cocktail sauce too. That's the dark red one, isn't it? I also make Thousand Islad dressing by eyeballing the ingredients, the way my mum did.

you've reminded me that we can make a pineapple, onion, and roasted pepper pizza! i have home canned pineapple and home canned red roasted peppers too......so!
We've been without a vehicle going on 8 or 9 days, with another week ahead of us-transmission rebuild, and only grocery shopping if we take advantage of the neighbors offers of help. We picked up melons, mandarins, bananas, tomatoes already. i think that will get us through until our vehicle is fixed.
