Housewarming Party Food
I made food for a friends' housewarming party this weekend. I gathered up a few of the photos of the food that I took just as the guests were arriving. This was an informal gathering, so mostly I tried to make finger food, rather than "stand up buffet" kind of fare that I've done for other events.
Since game 1 of the World Series was on, of course there were peanuts and 'cracker jack', and roasted rosemary pecans:
 
Then some savory nibbles - shrimp/mango cups, and baked ricotta w/kalamatas:
 
One of the sweet items was candied apples with almonds - the first time I've attempted to crystallize fruit. They tasted great, but were more like sweet fruit leather than purely crystallized.
Other things that I did not get pictures of included Guinness Ginger Cake, Chocolate Chile Bites (a fabulous Clotilde recipe), Bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with goat cheese, herbed cheese spread, twice-fried plaintain chips, and savory biscotti. I might be forgetting something, but there was definitely a lot of food. No one leaves a party that I've cooked for feeling like they need to hit a drive-thru on the way home. *grin*
