North Slope Oscar Potluck
February 25, 2008 by karen
With each passing year, our annual Oscar party becomes less about the movies and more about the competitive nature of our friends, particularly when it comes to making food. This year we tasked our friends with bringing a dish inspired by one of the Oscar nominees. The following are some of the entries:
Juno’s SunnyD from Sarah.
No Nachos for Old Men by Karen
Buns in the Oven by Sarah
More buns in the Oven by Rob
Alex’s Captain Jack’s Caribbean Sliders with mango salsa
There Will Be Brunswick Stew by Sara (paired with Katie’s corn muffins)
Fleet Street Mince Pie by Daya
There will be Bloody Guacamole from Matt and Freya
And one more: No Cookies for Old Men, from Micah.
By the time we finished consuming all these fine snacks we were too tired to vote on the creative entry, though my fan favorite vote probably would have gone to Micah’s incredible peanut butter oatmeal monster cookies. I’d like to think these parties are turning him into a budding baker.
Once we reached the point that we could no longer consume food, we turned out attention back to the show and the Oscar pool. It was a close call between Daya and Alex, but in the end the house ended up winning.
Our very serious point structure
