Since my collection of eggplates now extends beyond 100 pieces, I am always looking for ways to use them beyond just serving their intended food, deviled eggs. Most recently I was attending a neighborhood garden party with a number of neighbors at our coast house in Morro Bay<\/a>, California. I knew from experience that guacamole, an avocado based dip for those who might not know, is always a popular item, especially during the summer months when they are available fresh and frequently from local sources as the hillsides near our home in San Luis Obispo County<\/a> are the home to extensive orchards of avocado trees<\/a>. Regardless of the origin of the fruits, serving, and especially, eating any dip is a challenge at these parties where guests are mostly standing while eating to better circulate and chat with friends and neighbors. I along with a neighbor and good friend came up with a new way to serve the dip, prepared as a ready to eat appetizer, conveniently served in an eggplate, in this case, a scarlet red eggplate in the Fiestaware<\/a> line, produced by the Home Laughlin China Company<\/a> of Newell, West Virginia<\/a>, still proudly American made since 1936.<\/p>\n
