Superbowl game changer appetizers

So not paleo:
Cherry tomato + cheese (either fresh mozz or smoked gruyere in this case) + leaf of basil + salame = heaven on a toothpick.

So paleo:
Chicken wings maybe 2 lb package: put in salt, pepper, 1/4 cup chipotle olive oil, 1/4 cup garlic olive oil.  Put oven on broil. Broil on middle rack for about 50-60 minutes total on a cookie sheet covered in foil, turning half way through, or when house-mate says "is something getting scorched?".  Thoroughly neglected to make a sauce for these, but they were crispy and delicious.  Way easier than expected.

The bomb:
Cook a bunch of bacon.  Pit and smush (chunkily) a bunch of avocados with a little bit of salt, pepper, and lime juice.  Halve and core out a bunch of tomatoes on the vine.  Crumble bacon into avocado, steadily increasing bacon-to-avocado ratio as the day goes on.  Fill tomatoes with bacon/avocado mixture, and revel in deliciousness.  The avocado did start to turn brown by the end of the game, maybe more lime juice is in order.

Very pleased with these appetizer selections, although once again it took me twice as long to make anything as I had planned.
