Re: serving suggestion

I know you all are going to think me a total freak, but, not only do I cook extremely infrequently, but I don't drink (gasp! what!?), so no wine bottles around. Oh I still have a half btl left from last year's soiree. But I just don't like to buy it because I don't have a clue what I'm buying, so it goes to waste. They'll have to pick from Pepsi, Coke, diet coke, diet dr pepper, root beer, milk, coffee, apple cider, 7up, diet 7up. And actually - I don't drink any of that either, except occasionally the milk.
I have a teeny cheapo toaster oven, of little use. My stove top , 4 burners, still work fine; and the microwave. It's only the oven that's dead. I just don't want to put even more money in this stove. I'm thinking maybe of buying a convection oven after Cmas. 

If you can make it, the party is 7pm Fri Nov 30.

Sounds great!.. when and what time is this party? :)

Google bread dip recipes- many have exact amounts to
add.

How about an empty wine bottle to serve the oil in?
Many are colored glass and interesting shapes?

Got a toaster oven?  Years back when I was inbetween
houses and living in a RV trailer for a couple months
(which was only supposed to be a couple of weeks), my
toaster oven and electric fry pan were used
constantly.

Personally, I don't like the oil dipping myself, but
I know others do. I
have some imported white Balsamic Vinegar on my
shelf.  Got it on markdown
but didn't know what to do with it.   How much
vinegar  would I add to the
oil?  It wouldn't stay mixed would it?  would i
serve the oil from the
bottle?, I don't have - oh geez, what do you call
them? - those oil &
vinegar holders.  Adding pepper and other italian
spices to the cheese or
oil sounds like a good idea too, but I'll try not to
over-do it.

The 2 breads I got are organic "Artisan" breads.
One is Onion-Dill and the
other is Rosemary Olive Oil.  It's all I can do to
keep from cutting into
them now.  Bread's a weakness.

I'll also have shrimp and cheese and nuts and
candies.  I know I spelled
mosticcioli wrong but spell-check thinks it should
be "mystically". Actually
it is organic whole wheat penne rigate. Jar sauce -
Bertolli organic olive
oil, basil, & garlic.  Do you detect a theme here?
I'll include sweet
italian sausage and throw in some pepperoni.  Also
getting a pan of Casaburo
salad from a local restaurant.  It's their house
specialty salad, that
everyone loves.
