Day 27: The Oscar Reckoning

Welcome to the 4th Annual Oscar Extravaganza! This year was the first in Austin so things would be a little different: less space, smaller kitchen, still lots of awesome friends.

Here's the menu for this year:

The Social Network- Beer Gel Web
The King's Speech- Strawberry and Rosemary Scones with Lemon Tart and English Tea
Black Swan- Blackened Chicken with Coconut Foam
Winter's Bone: Venison Sausage Stew
Toy Story 3- Deep-fried Slinky Dog with Tabasco Ketchup and Mustard
The Kids Are Alright- Brussel Sprout, Purple-top Turnip and Kale Salad with Oranges and Grapefruit from Johnson's Backyard Garden CSA Ingredients
True Grits- Steak and Grits
Inception- Cobb Salad, Inception Style (Red Vinegar, Tomato and Mixed Green Gels with Chicken and Bacon Powders, Blue Cheese and Chives)
The Fighter- Blue Icing Cake
127 Hours- Orange Gatorade Popsicles
All in all it was a terrific evening. Thanks to everyone who came!

Now that this month is over, I'm ready to take a short culinary nap. Onwards to leftovers!

  1. Pete. This looks fan-freakin-tastic! Wish Lindsey and I could've been there to help plate and distribute! The "Cobb salad" for Inception is amazing. Any chance you'll divulge the creation secrets?
