My brother came to town last weekend, which meant I had to have a little party in his honor. We rented out the community room on the roof of my apartment building and whipped up a few appetizers straight out of a midwest potluck: salami-cream-cheese-pickle roll-ups, caprese skewers and BBQ meatballs in Cory's grandma's crockpot. Fancy? No. Tasty? Mos def.

Thanks to all who came out! We've successfully convinced my brother of Seattle's awesomeness.
