Acacia, Olive Oil and Herbs...



Lately, I love acacia wood - I have some oval appetizer trays and several little dipping bowls. I would like to get salad plates or salad bowls made of this wood. It's rich and smooth and variegated, and feels so warm compared to stoneware or glass. In here I put olive oil, halved cloves of garlic to infuse into the oil (not to chew!), thyme, marjoram, rosemary sea salt and a little puddle of balsamic vinegar. It's delicious when you dip a little crusty bread into it!
