Servings: persons

25 saltine crackers
1/3 cup bread and butter pickles
3 slices American cheese (or Velveeta)
2 slices swiss cheese
1 slice bologna, thick-sliced
8 green olives, stuffed with pimientos
1 celery rib, cut into three pieces
1 carrot, peeled and cut into 3 pieces
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1 cup tortilla chips, white
4 fresh mushrooms
1/3 cup salsa
1/3 cup sauerkraut, cold (I use either Vlassic or Snowfloss brands)
1 chicken drumstick, fried, cold (optional)

1
On a large platter, fold a single paper towel into 1/4 of its original size and lay the pickles and the olives out on it. (If you don't do this, they'll drain juice and make your saltines soggy!).
2
Make a tic-tac-toe cut on the bologna slice so that the individual pieces will fit on a saltine. Then, cut the cheese slices into quarters so that they, too, will fit on a cracker. Lay them out on the platter on a small piece of wax paper.
3
Spread the peanut butter on the celery rib pieces and lay them on the platter.
4
Put the sauerkraut and the salsa into two small ramekins, respectively. Place them on the platter along with with a spoon.
5
Trim the mushroom stems at the bottom and then cut them in half. Place them on the platter along with remaining ingredients.
6
NOTE: I always take this to bed at about midnight or one in the morning and munch away while reading (my wife heads for the other bedroom *.*). I like to chase it down with either a big glass of milk or some iced apple juice. An awesome snack!
