A famous cigarette billboard pictures a curly-headed, bronze-faced, muscular macho with a cigarette hanging out the side of his mouth. The sign says, 'Where a man belongs.' That is a lie. Where a man belongs is at the bedside of his children, leading in devotion and prayer. Where a man belongs is leading his family to the house of God. Where a man belongs is up early and alone with God seeking vision and direction for the family.

In a food processor blend the Stilton, the cream cheese, the Port, and salt
and pepper to taste until the mixture is smooth, add the 1/3 cup hazelnuts,
and pulse the motor a few times, until the nuts are incorporated. Transfer
the spread to a crock or ramekin and chill it, covered, until it is firm.
(The spread may be made 3 days in advance and kept covered and chilled).
Garnish the spread with the additional nuts and serve it with the Melba

To toast and skin hazelnuts:
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a baking pan toast hazelnuts in one layer in oven 10 to 15 minutes, or
until colored lightly, and skins blister. Wrap nuts in a kitchen towel and
let steam 1 minute. Rub nuts in towel to remove as much of skins as
possible and cool.
Makes about 2 cups.
