I find it fascinating that a miniature stick of wood can make something instantly party-fancy. Yes, party-fancy is a term. Or it will be. I'm sure of it. 2013 is a blank canvas at the moment. I can color it however i want!
If you just threw some basil, prosciutto, papaya, and raspberries in a bowl, it would basically be a salad. And my heart would break just a tiny bit. Salad, in theory, tends to make me sad. Though in practice I do actually enjoy them...
But stick the same ingredients on toothpick - and yes, I can get excited about that. The miniature stick of wood turns the salad into such cute and festive party appetizers, I become smitten instantly. The toothpick - Oh, it's magic!
Ingredients
basil leaf
prosciutto, torn into chunks
papaya - cut into chunks
raspberry
toothpicks
Instructions
Place one of each on a toothpick. I liked doing them in the following order - basil, prosciutto, papaya then raspberry. Serve and eat!
Love the assortment of flavours going on here! I love how toothpicks fancy-up everything you put on them...if only I didn't use all of mine to test brownies and bars. :D
ReplyDeleteSo fresh, pretty and delectable!
ReplyDeleteIt's so cute and yummy and irresistible. And yes, salad would make it sad

ReplyDeleteI get unnaturally excited about food on a stick also...it's totally normal. :P These are so tropically awesome! I love it.
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right and I am also going to start using the term party-fancy! I think we can make it catch on. You have fancy and then, when you kick it up one more notch, you have PARTY-FANCY.
