In honor of the
139th anniversary of the day the toothpick was patented, my housemates and I declared February 20, 2011 as Toothpick Day. The theme was obvious. The results, delicious.
I was not the only contributor, which made it even better. Above you can see some toothpick bruschetta, contributed by a talented (and complicit in my celebratory attitude) housemate, which was delicious. Some of the other highlights:
Mini PB&J bites on a stick
Bacon-wrapped little smokies
Fresh pineapple (a welcome break from the other decadence)
Spicy BBQ meatballs
Ham and swiss roll-ups (with a little mayo and Dijon mustard for kick)
Cheese and pepperoni toothpick bites
Salad on a stick (with accompanying homemade balsamic vinaigrette)
And last, but not least, tortellini on a stick with marinara dipping sauce.
Happy Toothpick Day, everybody!
