Elisha chatting with Oscar
Brandon psyched with Oscar
Jason's a HUGE movie buff, so the Oscar awards are similar to a religious experience. This year, after the nominees were announced, he watched all of them. That's 9 movies in less than a month, and because of his schedule he ended up watching 7 of them in the 6 days leading up to the award ceremony. He was certainly prepared when it came to voting! Yes, we're competitive that way.
According to the rules at the time of the party, Jason was the winner of our Oscar pool. However, rules change so stay tuned to see if a new winner is declared.
To make the party that much more fun, we made (and ate) food that coordinated with each of the movies. Jeremy and Brandon joined Elisha and Jason. Here's how it went:
Oscar invites you to join him on a culinary tour of the world:
Our tour begins where all film tours should begin: Hollywood. Join us as we wet our palettes with movie treats and popcorn inspired by The Artist.
From Hollywood, we will be heading to Oakland to check out an A's game. The team that inspired Moneyball also inspired us to pick up some Cracker Jack.
With the glitz and glamor of California behind us, we'll head to Texas to find out the meaning of it all at the Tree of Life. Hey, while we're in town, how about some pulled-pork barbeque with coleslaw?
Nothing follows a Texas barbeque like some Mississippi Chocolate Pie from our friends The Help.
On to the Big Apple where we'll get Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close with some delicious cinnamon apples.
Time to hop the pond and find us some foreign food. All the recipe books in Europe tell me that Warhorse tastes a lot like beef jerky.
By the time we arrive, it's Midnight in Paris; time for some French Vanilla Ice Cream.
My friend Hugo recommends the escargot...but we played it safe and had French fries.
Our trip isn't over yet. We're going to take the really long way home and stop in Hawaii for some pina coladas. Our Descendants love these refreshing drinks.
Hope you've enjoyed your travels.
