Love love love this week's opinion piece.

I may give some thought to doing a blini caviar app for a Christmas party.

A few years ago I took an oyster class at Coastal and that was money well spent. I can open my own in a reasonably efficient manner and more importantly spend far less $$ than in a restaurant. I've been known to travel with my own oyster knife

Agree re: oysters, I also have an oyster knife and look for excuses to use it. And it really is shocking how little caviar it takes to make a fully flavored blini experience - it's only expensive until you plate it and serve it, and then the cost-per-guest is pretty dang reasonable. And it's fun! You get to James Bond it up in luxurious style! I generally get mine at Minsk Market in Eagan, but there are some good online places, too.
