Yummy finger food

I always like to buy Parmesan cheese in a block and grate it just before use. It retains it's flavour much better that way. If grated, you can store it in the freezer before use - it will keep significantly longer and still can be used straight from the freezer. It just needs to be stored in an air tight container.
This is going on my Thanksgiving appetizer list. Fantastic idea! Plus, Costco sells a fantastic pesto from Ciba Naturals that I could use to make prep time faster (my requirement for T-day appetizers are ease and the ability to cook somewhere besides the oven).
