1 tsp. salt

To make dough easier to roll you can put it into the fridge for a while first.

1 250 gram package cream cheese
1 10 oz. can Cream of Mushroom Soup

1 package Knox gelatin
1/4 cup cold water

1/2 cup chopped green onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 cup Mayo (I use Miracle Whip)
1 5 oz. can crab meat
curry powder

Heat the cream cheese and soup until bubbly but be careful not to burn it.

Disolve the gelatin in the water until soft. Add to soup mixture.

Add rest of ingredients (add a pinch of curry - to taste) and mix well.

You can pour into a mold* (a fancy bowl makes a good mold) and refrigerate overnight. Unmold and serve with crackers. Yum

*Can be served in the bowl if you don't want to bother with unmolding it.
