Martini glasses for fruit course?

[MTLLodge]

I wish I knew how to post a picture. I have a picture with it. My place is different, so anything goes! Well except dollies, unless they are plaid ones know where I could find some? I use what I call a rounded stem martini glass. So I think it looks neat!
I just remembered it is on my facebook, check it out!

I liked the funky first ones.
Someone on this forum used teacups and since I saw that on their site, I have copied. It is a great way to use up fancy old teacups which you don't want any more. I think it was JB, but not 100% sure.

I was going to use old teacups to hold 'Trivia' cards, but opted for mini flowerpots instead. (OK, so the flowerpots are holding the Trivia cards, not the old teacups are holding the flowerpots!)

Martini glasses are wonderful, sometimes they are a pain to put in dishwasher but they are easy to clean, used them for fruit, smoothies and even a cold cantalope soup.

Balsamic vinegar + brown sugar. We let it sit overnight. I barely used 1 teaspoon of the mix for 2 cups of berries. It sat for over an hour on the berries and everyone said it was good.
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 3 tbsps brown sugar.

wait 'til you get really good local strawberries then use the balsamic on them. You may not even want the sugar then.

Yes, they are taking up a lot of room in the dishwasher because of the size of the bowl. So, we'll only use them for small numbers of guests. Not when we have a houseful!

I'm 2 months from local strawberries, but thanks for the suggestion!

OK, I have to do the waggy finger here...'something special' is the fact that you are married to a wonderful man, live in a place you love, have terrific friends, well you get the picture.
Enjoy the damn balsamic vinegar! Today!

DH uses balsamic vinegar on his salads - just balsamic.

Yes I am waiting for local really fresh ones. Last year I missed them so didn't use it. And I sure don't want to waste the 50 year old stuff on Walmart berries

You might also consider stemless martini glasses which are dishwasher-friendly.

I have those also, I was thinking about serving smoothies in them.

I was just on a day trip with a local group and saw some small vintage "martini" (actually cordials) glasses. I almost bought them but decided not to since I wasn't sure that they wouldn't get damaged on the bus. :-( It's only about 40 mins from here so I'm going to go back with a friend and look more at the things in this antique shop. They had some vintage aprons too!

I read about this in Innkeepers Quarterly a couple of years ago.
I started doing it-it is called a Fruitini. Lovely!
