Actually it is a fluted fine China. It fools a lot of people. And that table it is on is made of adamantium.

Ahahaha. I see.

I keep thinking that if I would use a bamboo cutting board and those fancy white square plates that my TD scores would go up.

A stopcock is a valve used to restrict or isolate the flow of a liquid or gas through a pipe.

On the grill.

And here they are all ready for consumption, the Franks Red Hot sweet Chili sauce took the crab bites to another level. Thanks for looking...

Triple Play Finger Food and Strawberry Margarita

I got this idea from some cocktail parties I've been to where waiters walk around with finger foods to sample. And, the frozen Margarita Machine was invented in Dallas, so needless to say, Margaritas are very popular.

Steak Skewers: I cut flat iron steak into rectangles, and marinated them in a mixture of Italian dressing and Dijon mustard. I skewered them, seasoned with black pepper, and grilled over direct heat.

Shrimp Skewers: I made a balsamic vinaigrette to marinate the shrimp (just 30 minutes), then wrapped them in prosciutto , and skewered them. These, I grilled on the edge of my coals -- sort of semi direct heat.

Stuffed Mushrooms. The stuffing was a mixture of bread crumbs with pecorino romano cheese, dried oregano (from my garden), black pepper, mixed together and made into a paste with melted butter. I stuffed the mushrooms, added a pinch of pecorino roman on top of each mushroom, and baked on the "cold" side of the grill.

Strawberry Margarita: I started by cutting up fresh strawberries, which I dusted with powdered sugar, and put in the fridge to "marinate" in their own juice and the sugar. I used my regular mix of frozen limeade and tequila, but decided to use banana liquor instead of Grand Mariner, plus a good sized handful of the sweet strawberries. Blended with ice, and garnished with a strawberry. I also finally got to use the single funky cocktail glass someone gave me years ago. Bonus.

Everything tasted good, and I ate it all. The steak was tender -- "like butta." The shrimp were fantastic -- it's prosciutto from now on, instead of bacon on shrimp, for me. Stuffed shrooms are always good finger food. But, the margarita was the the best item, to me. The strawberries made a huge difference. The banana liquor was subtle, but good. I'll be making it again.

I'm staring at the picture and wondering how you got the margarita to stay in the glass. Whenever I try to take a picture like that, my drink spills all over the table and the food slides off the plate.

I love meaty appetizers AND strawberry margaritas. :hungry:

 

[Redhot]

Very nice Caseydog, very nice indeed!:thumb:

I agree, if you violate the laws of physics, shouldn't that be an automatic DQ? Either that or this photo has been doctored and the food is not real.

Nice looking stuff regardless though :thumb:

Ooh, and you ate it too, bonus points.

 

[bigabyte]

All of that looks very good!:hungry: Except the glass. The drink sounds fine, but that glass............not so sure!:becky:

 

[Redhot]

Hey, if you look close enough in that purple ball thingy at the bottom of his glass I think you can see his reflection...does he have a beard?
