Forgot the Thanksgiving appetizers?

Ever get behind on cooking on TG?   Nah, I thought not.

We have, despite the fact that we've turned the kitchen into a federally approved disaster zone since Monday.  So, the family is busting in through the back door...no doorbell to give me a cushion.   As they walk in, I look like someone out of "Julie and Julia" (guess which one).  There's stuffing behind the backsplash,  cranberry juice smeared on 3 different potholders, and sweet potatoes cooling on top of the metal trash can. 

What was I thinking, take a shower?  Set the table??  Swab the decks???

The worst is not having munchies ready.  If you've ever taken so long to put out the meal that your friends were telling loud stories, sloshing wine around, and putting on their coats, you know what you need...appetizers!

A plug for our Pig'Nics, which are so easy all you have to do is rip open a bag.  Here's another idea that will make your friends and family feel the effort you put into the meal.  

Spread Aux Delices des Bois Black Truffle Butter or White Truffle Butter on toast.  Garnish with something green, a dot of prosciutto, a slice of radish.   Serve on a doiley-d plate.
