CLAMSHELLS
I know this may not be exactly the most original idea, but I really am obsessed with the clamshell as tabletop untensil. I recently posted cumin in a clamshell (see couscous post)….here is a little shell i use for salt. If you have a crew of dirty smokers over for dinner, you can give each their own clamshell ashtray. The best thing is these are absolutely free and waiting for you on a beach nearby. I think mine mostly came from the Atlantic.
