Re: serving suggestion

If you have small salad plates for everyone that might

be nice.
I guess, that would be my only problem doing this. Plates I have, but I don't have a dining room. So people would be balancing plates on laps, end table, coffee table. I did find a recipe as Donna suggested and it seemed more of a group dipping dish. Might try that. 
Thanks everyone!

Kitty,
At most restaurants they just pour a little oil that has some spices...like cracked black pepper, and then pour in a little balsamic vinegar so they can dip the break in it. If you have small salad plates for everyone that might be nice. 
Good luck... it sounds wonderful

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.
