the toothpicks

pink lady apples wrapped in prosciutto and held together with toothpicks from Shaw's

It’s been a looong week at work, so attending my church’s gourmet dinner club tonight was a special treat. The theme for the night was red, white, and blue, and since I had no spare moments this week to think about or prepare anything truly gourmet, I threw together a cop-out appetizer — apples (white) wrapped with prosciutto (red) held together with toothpicks (blue). (The package of toothpicks was $1 at Shaw’s, in case you were wondering.) We had a full eight-course meal tonight, including steamed custard with blue crab and roasted red peppers, crostini with roasted cherry tomatoes and herbed feta, and panna cotta parfaits with blueberries and raspberries. Next month is my turn to host! Any suggestions for the theme?

    I don’t know why I haven’t signed on to this group sooner! Maybe because I would bring pretzel jello….
