Dinner with Oscar

So in honor of the Oscars, we headed over to Thommy and Geoffrey's house and feasted on items inspired by the 5 movies nominated for best picture.

We started by snacking on chocolate -- Cadbury (Frost/Nixon), Ghirardelli (Milk), and Scharffen Berger (The Reader) -- as we got dinner ready. We then started with samosas (Slumdog Millionaire). We then followed that with some delicious gumbo (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) that Geof made from scratch.

After a break where we watched a bit of the Oscar ceremony, we then had bratwurst and sauerkraut (The Reader).

More of the Oscar telecast and then we had dessert -- Watergate cake (Frost/Nixon), which was again made by Geof from scratch, and ice cream and rainbow sherbet (Milk).

Looking back on it all, it was a whole lot of food but fun nonetheless. It'll be interesting to see what we come up with next year.
