And the Oscar goes to...

The last Saturday in February, we held our annual Oscars party.  I love hosting this, and the best part is making the menu!  For appetizers, we served ARGOat cheese and apricots, the main dishes were FRANKENWEENIEs and ALAN ARKIN-sas barbeque, with SALLY FIELD greens salad and BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD rice pilaf.  For dessert?  LIFE OF blueberry PIe!!

Uncle Brian made these handsome crackers.

We moved the TV into the living room for maximum viewing.
It was easy to do, since there is a hole in the wall (usually behind
our ND painting) to thread the TV cords through.  We also
installed an "eye" so the remote works even though the
electronics are still in the media room.

It was an intense competition, but Uncle Shane
won the whole thing!!  He got a bottle of wine
as a prize.  I think Marcus and I were next, then
Auntie Coley (she was happy--she won dark
chocolate sea salt caramels).
