Rachel and I threw an Oscar Viewing/Rachel B’s Birthday Bash back in February. I never got around to posting the pictures or the recipes. Funny the things you find in your digital camera when you look…

We do theme food to try and match the nominated movies, either by title or just what we imagine the people in the movie would have liked to eat.

I can’t believe I am smashing peas into a mousse.

The snap pea mousse became Snap Pea Canapes which for some strange reason, we thought Michael Clayton aka George Clooney would love.

Any excuse to make my famous fried chicken…No Country for Old Men called for it.

We bought the meat pies but NOT from Mrs. Lovett - Sweeney Todd

For There Will be Blood, I thought I’d make something red.

but not a bloody Mary because that would be so…obvious and we’d already gone obvious with the meat pies

So homemade Cream of Tomato Soup it was.

Our guests that arrived in all their finery in the midst of the rain were really appreciative of the hot soup so I think it was a good call.

We did a few other dishes and eventually I will find them and post.
