Every year I throw an all-out bash Oscar Party for my movie loving friends. I
love doing it, but I have to admit, I've run out of ideas for food. Over the
years, I have done the fancy appetizer thing, done a tex-mex thing, Pasta,
pasta, pasta, casual with chips/dips/chicken wings, fancy with lemon grilled
salmon and baby veggies, did an Indian curry thing, roasted chicken, pizza,
take-out chinese, prime-rib and baked potatoes. So here I am-less than a week
to go and I'm racking my brain for something new and different that my friends
will love that I can do within a reasonable budget. I'm having about 12-15
people over. It's gotta be buffett style, people usually eat either holding
plates or sitting at my coffee table. I have learned the hard way it is not
good to make people have to use a knife to cut their meat when they are trying
to hold a plate in their lap! So I'd rather avoid that.
So if anyone has any brilliant ideas, I'd love to hear them!
