Oscar Night Menu...

I look forward to the Oscars more than I look forward to a lot of Holidays so this year we invited some friends over and planned a themed dinner menu:

• The Hurt Locker: Hummus and Pita Bread to represent the Middle East.

• District 9: Grilled Shrimp to represent the “prawns”

• An Education: Brie & Apple Bruschetta to represent “Jenny’s” trip to Paris

• Inglorious Basterds: Warm Apple Strudel with a glass of milk to represent a specific scene in the movie with Christopher Waltz

• Crazy Heart: Ham Biscuits to represent the biscuits he made in the movie.

• Blind Side: Taco Bell quesadillas to represent the fact that Mr. Touhy owned Taco Bell franchises

• Avatar: Blue Hawaiian punch to represent the blue people

• Up!: Upcakes! Funfetti with blue icing (also to represent Avatar)

• Precious: Chicken Wings to represent the scene where Precious steals the chicken because she is so hungry

• Fantastic Mr. Fox: Apple Cider to represent the cider factories

• Julie & Julia: Mini quiches  to represent Julia’s French cooking (that we forgot to cook and set out but they still count!)

Clearly I didn’t take any pictures and had to resort to ol’ faithful known as Google Image Search, but it was delish so I was clearly too busy eating to take to take pictures!
