Celebrity Fete in Style

If you’re watching the Oscar’s this weekend on Sunday, February 27th, here’s an artistic meal worthy of celebrating the occasion in style:

This is a cleaver menu with inventive recipes from Oscar® Party on All Recipes.com. This could help make the night more fun than its hype usually is — if you don’t pass out from a sugar-overload with all the desserts or bread. You’ll have to let me know if they rate four stars, however, because I cannot claim to have tried them — yet:

• Cocktail:  Red Rooster — True Grit
• Appetizer/ Starter: Andy’s Five-Pepper Chicken Wings — Toy Story 3

• Main Entree 1 — Irish Champ — The Fighter

• Main Entree 2 — Ham Bone Soup — Winter’s Bone

• Bread — J.P.’s Big Daddy Biscuits — The Kids are Alright

• Dessert 1 — Easy Pavlova — Black Swan

• Dessert 2 — Dream Bars II — Inception

• Dessert 3 — Chocolate Billionaires — Social Network

• Dessert 4 — English Royalty Chocolate Chip Scones — The King’s Speech

• After Dinner Drink — Margarita on the Rocks — 127 Hours

Happy Oscar Weekend and keep your eye out for Bansky; he might show up or complete a mural when no one is looking!

PS:  I just found this to download to really make the night fun and more interesting, Oscar Celebrity Bingo!

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
