We're having friends over tomorrow. They'll arrive at about 5:00, and the plan is to sit out on the deck and have some beers, then at around 6:15 we're leaving for a ball game.
What kinds of snacks do you put out for an hour, that won't spoil a fabulous dinner of hot dogs?

I wondered if they would be part of "dinner" instead.
gosh, chips and salsa are the easiest and even sort of healthy. crackers and cheese - maybe a few slices of summer sausage or something like that?

(21,484 posts)our friends are both Hispanic and both make kick-ass homemade salsa. I don't. And I don't want to serve them Old El Paso or some crap like that.
But it is a good idea. Thanks!

Goes very well with beer.

Salted almonds.
Hummus with pita chips.
Radishes, cut in half. let people spread butter on them and sprinkle some salt on them.
