Veggies and dip trick (and how to avoid double dippers)

While we were in Toronto my mother-in-law hosted a little party in Zac's honour... sort of a pre-birthday/meet-the-baby party for her friends. Anyway, at this little get-together they served veggies and dip in such an adorable way that I just had to tell you about it!

Instead of serving all the veggies on a platter around a giant bowl of communal dip, the veggies were served in individual little glasses with the dip already at the bottom. Adorable, right?!

But all cuteness aside. there are two very important improvements with this method: one, you avoid the grossness of other people double dipping, and two, you get to double dip all you want (and I love to double dip!). It's genius!

(also I finally found a use for all my old shot glasses that haven't seen the light of day since my college years)
