Dipping Bowl

Well, I must say, I am not happy with the pictures that I took last week. As I was getting ready with the food that I had promised to bring for my friend's Candle-lite party that she was throwing, I figured I had enough time to go through the motions and record a pictorial about how I was going about it. The process went fine. The orange counters in my kitchen however, did not like to co-operate. Looked like I was in a giant pumpkin. The orange grocery bag that I used to catch crumbs didn't help either. Not did being left handed, trying to take pictures with my right hand, while the overhead light was on the wrong side. Lol.

Aside from that, everyone absolutely loved the dip. As they did the Cheddar Bacon Ranch pull apart bread that I made. I had to make a few tweaks on the Fox Valley Slush, as I didn't have any pink lemonade to add. But the apple strawberry orange juice that I substituted gave a very nice flavor that people enjoyed, even without the lemon lime soda. So here are the pictures I managed to salvage.

The homemade paprika onion bread bowl after it was hollowed out. I use a serrated bread knife to cut around the rim, leaving a little less than an inch width so that the walls are nice and sturdy. For this I cut straight down and then used the fork to pull the bread up and out. It left a few pieces on the bottom, which were easy to tear out.

Just to keep it simple, I matched the bread bowl with French Onion dip, again made at home. I made it the day before to allow the flavors to blend well.

There was a nice level so that the top still fit properly. As for all the bread I pulled out, I sliced it into bite sized pieces to serve with the dip and vegetables.

And there's my French Onion Paprika Dipping bowl!
