In about 8 hours time, the 81st Academy Awards presentations take place. I won't be looking at ANY websites, or watching TV, or listening to the radio, or answering my phone... I don't want to know, until... Our OSCARS PARTY!!! Jane and I are once again hosting our Oscars party, this time in our backyard. We've been working so freaking hard to get our house ready. It's funny how much importance we place on an awards night that takes place on the other side of the globe... about 9 hours before we celebrate it. All of our guests at the party have had to send me their Ballot forms well within time so no one can accidentally hear of a winner and skew their results. It's all in the fun. So the big 42inch Plasma gets taken outside for the night, the ballots will be handed out, and the food will be laid on. This year, we've decided to do something a little bit special with the food. All the food we're providing are dishes inspired by the 5 nominated films. I LOVE this. Slumdog Millionaire: The Slumdog Curry Frost / Nixon: Frosty Nixons (Icecreams to be served as dessert) Milk: Tuna Cheese and Rice (A white sauce dish that looks quite 'milky', a Murphy family fave) The Reader: Reader Dogs (A very German inspired Bratwurst sausage in a bun with sauerkraut) The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: Ben Buttons (Vol Au Vents filled with 3 different delicious fillings!) How good does THAT sound? Oh yeah. A couple of years ago, I bought a cookie cutter from the states in the shape of Oscar. So Jane is once again taking full advantage of said cutter... That's all I'll say. So evidently, I'm excited. Love Court.
