Cheers! I have fresh Basil available locally for $1.50 per bunch and
vine ripe tomatoes at Central Market in Austin, but grape or cherry
tomatoes should be available. Someone recently posted a cool recipe here
for skewered Caprese. You take one cherry or grape tomato, one basil
leaf and a cube of feta or mozarella cheese (marinated) and stick the
toothpick thru with the cheese on the bottom, the tomato on top and the
basil leaf in the middle.

To me, they were attractive and delicious looking...

I'd marinate the cheese in Balsamic vinegar, olive oil and a mix of
Italian herbs.
