sticky food

Yesterday, I wrote all about my brother's graduation party which I helped to orchestrate. Today I want to chat a little bit about the food. Shall we? Someone (okay, it was me) decided that it would be a fabulous idea to serve EVERYTHING on skewers... Fun, right?! My sister, who was a main food-skewerer didn't agree, but nonetheless we put all the key foods on skewers and then stuck the skewers into fun color-coordinated pails.

My parents served grilled veggie and meat kabobs, fruit skewers, and tasty roasted potato skewers. For an appetizer, we made antipasto skewers. These included: three types of cheese (cheddar, parmesan, and mozzarella), peperoncini, black olives, stuffed green olives, salami, and sourdough bread. We alternated ingredients as we prepared the skewers.

These skewers were a big hit and the perfect serving size for an appetizer. So (although my sister wouldn't agree) next time you have a big party, consider skewering it for a unique menu.
