Happy Belated Oscar Night

Since there's a lot of snow outside, I figured I might as well update the blog. Don't worry, if you work with me, I did this between the hours of 9 and 12 when our opening was delayed and the office was closed, not afterwards when I was working from home for the rest of the day.

To cut to the point - I wasn't so into Hugh Jackman hosting the Oscars. I enjoyed the beginning, but otherwise, like everyone else, i was confused by the musical medleys and disappointed that Mickey Rourke didn't get to give an acceptance speech that would have been more memorable than most.

Some of you know we like to have some fun around Oscar time. We all have fond memories of Reese's With-a-Spoon and Cake Gyllenhall, but each new year brings new nominees and new bad food/Oscar puns.

This year we decided to start with a light and fresh Kate Winslettuce salad (with thanks to Karen and Paige on this one).

Then, we couldn't decide what to call the lamb burgers - The Curious Case of Benjamin Mutton? Meryl Sheep? Waltz with Baa-Sheared?


And the ham and cheese sandwiches -- The Rye-stler with Mickey Pork and Marisa Tomeito? The Pork Knight? Ham Hathaway? Or Ham on Rye-r?

Some Pineapple Cruz for a palate cleanser.

And then, wash it all down with a Guinness Milkshake (Stoubt? MILKshakes? Malts with Bashir?)


Of course, our thanks to the fine folks behind Sean Penne with Marisa Tomeito Sauce, Yumdog Millionaires,
and Dark Chocolate Knight Cookies and Peanut Gabriel Cheesecake.
