Oscars, the Stuff That Dreams are Made of

Oh, I am so excited that the time is here. One day I hope to have a big Oscar party, but we are still in a pandemic so it is just my mom, Michael, and myself. We have on fancy clothes, our makeup is tops, and we have our hair ready for the red carpet... or for my apartment. To start this blog off I thought I would tell you my Academy Award themed food for today. My cousin, Beth, cooks every year with food based on the films and I thought I would joking her in doing that this year.

Appetizers

Pizza bites based on Soul, when 22 tries it for the first time

Cheeseburger Sliders, based on Nomadland when Fern fries burgers

Main Meal

We live right next to Koreatown, so we will be picking up Korean BBQ in honor of Minari

Drinks

Mt. Dew based on the grandmother and son from Minari

Coke from Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom

Dessert

Coffee flavored cookies (in the shape on Oscars) based on the coffee shop from Promising Young Woman

Random, fun stuff, but I only want to eat things from the films! <Maybe next year the films will make a more coherent menu.
