I brought an appetizer to a party. Important things when considering what to bring:
- Have ONE million flavors available
- Lemon, salty, sweet, creamy, crunchy
- Be seasonal
- In season veggies + berries (with honey)
- Ensure several colors
- Do a mix of handmade & store bought
- HOMEMADE: Garlic lemon artichokes + roasted asparagus + crackers + honeyed walnuts + quickled cucumbers + blueberry jam (not pictured)
- BOUGHT: Berries, goat cheese, salami, cheese
- Consider how things will be eaten
- Liiiiiike, I made the cheese in triangles so they'd fit on the cracker--cubes would have been awkward
- The asparagus probably could have been friendlier
- Aesthetics
- Basil to add fresh greenery
- Color dynamics (Sort of green, red white, red, green, white)
- Flag toothpicks for festivity
- Do NOT under any circumstances say: "oh, would you mind if I used the oven?"
- Some people would be like: you fraud! You asked to use the refrigerator at this party and that could have been annoying, too! Agreed.
