appetizers
i don't like to put too much effort into t-giving apps. i don't want anyone filling up before the main event + dessert, and time/oven space is usually scarce. i do what my mom used to do - just assemble a little charcuterie platter of cold pickles, olives, nuts, crackers and cheese. that, and cocktail will usually tide over any starving guests until mealtime.
