Bringing a whole new meaning to finger food

fingerfood_env2_hr.jpg

 

Ooooh. Come on. You know you want one. Isn't this the cutest? It's a teeny-weeny little plate for a canape, and it fits right on your finger so you can hold your champagne glass with the same hand.

I'm not sure whether it's better to wait until the Finger Food party plate is provided by your hostess, or if it makes sense to bring your own. What is the etiquette here anyway?

Let me just suggest if you're going to a black-tie affair at the Peruvian embassy, you not take your Finger Food party plate.

They are available at Perpetual Kid for the teeny-weeny price of $10 for 12 reusable plates.

Is that an actual finger they are serving?

Wouldn't your food fall off when you drank your champagne?

I sense that this is really for some oter purpose. Maybe some sex thing thgat I am unaware of. Hmm....

Peru? But can I take my dedo plato?

They also have Count Chocula and Fruit Loops lip balm. Uh oh, Terrier Daughter is calling. Blogs away ...

Oooooooooooo........ tasty.

I do believe that dedos in Spanish means toes as well. Deeeeelightful. That would make a fabulous game of This Little Piggy for your next pool party Lady Terrier. (hint hint)

TM - Has Jesus prepared the pool properly for the summer? You know Vivian is very particular. And his floaties have to be inflated just right.

The pool looks great, but I caught Jesus walking across it today. Drats! Everytime he does that it turns to Merlot. Bad Jesus.

Merlot ... ? That's not the Jesus I know! Zinfandel or Chianti -- depending on the hardness of the original water and/or the relative chlorination.

The comedian, Henry Morgan, used to have a Q&A segment on his radio show. Among the questions one day was: "Should chicken be eaten with the fingers?" The answer: "No, the fingers should be eaten separately."

Wouldn't the little sandwich fall off the plate when you took a drink of the champagne?

MAG - is that the Henry Morgan of "What's My Line?" I always wondered what his day job was.

Yep,Eve, the same Henry Morgan. He was a radio personality before he hit the game show circuit. Oddly enough, there was another Henry Morgan at the time, a character actor appearing on Broadway. But when the actor made his first movie, he was forced to change his name to avoid confusion...and became Harry Morgan whom you may remember as the Colonel in "M*A*S*H."

Geezer Comedy Trivia...you don't get this at Hooters.

(Harry Morgan and Henry Morgan being the geezers, MAG, not a reference to you

Bucky, like it or not, I am a geezer. That's how I can remember all this trivia. Have no idea what I had for lunch yesterday. But ask me stuff like what great actor gave the best performance as a zombie in movie annals and I'm your guy. (Answer: Humphrey Bogart in "The Return of Dr. X.")

love it! perfect 4 parties!
