BE PICTURED IN; CHARACTERIZED IN:
My friend Michelle loves throwing big parties with lots of food and lots of friends. I think it has to be the big Italian family thing, you’re never short of food or good company in their home.
I’ve shown them sliced, but you could easily slice them crosswise again for smaller appetizer bites. But beware, they are addictive!
