Pecan Blue-Cheese Spread

1. Place nuts in food processor and process until finely chopped; it takes about 10 seconds.

2. Add both cheeses.

3. Process until very smooth; again, it should only take about 10 seconds.

4. Pack into a bowl and refrigerate until serving; this is best if allowed to chill for a few hours.

5. A dribble of brandy or port added when you add the cheeses doesn't hurt.
