As I talked about last week, I am always thinking of new items to serve on my still growing collection of over 100 different eggplates. In preparation for the same neighborhood garden party and wine tasting that a friend and I prepared and served the previously shown, with recipe, Guacamole Cups for, we decided to continue our creative cooking spree and come up with yet another recipe and eggplate service idea. We had seen the delightfully colorful, and perfectly sized, fresh mini-peppers in the local grocery store and decided to use those as the base for a new creation. Again, produce such as these mini-peppers is a common sight at local farmer’s markets and stores because our coast house is located in and adjacent to some of the most productive cool weather farmland in the entire world, the Central Coast of California<\/a>, including the counties of San Luis Obispo<\/a>, Santa Barbara<\/a>, Ventura<\/a>, and Monterey<\/a>. The options for fresh and local cooking are almost always numerous although the ongoing drought, now in its 16th year, threatens all of this seasonal bounty. These types of neighborhood wine tasting\/picnic\/potluck parties are a regular feature of summertime life in our small coastal town of Morro Bay<\/a>. It is very common for guests at these extremely casual events to eat while standing, chatting with friends and neighbors, and circulating about the yard, so therefore foods that are self-contained, easy to carry and eat while standing are ideal. Foods of this type and shape are frequently a perfect fit for an eggplate, continuously expanding the possibilities for this unique type of service ware.<\/p>\n
