Warm spiced olives

Forgo creamy dips or cheeses and serve these with drinks instead. Find a food store with a good olive selection and get a mix of large and small, skinny and fat, black, brown and green. Unpitted olives always taste better than pitted – just put out another small bowl for the stones when serving.
