The 81st Academy Awards will be broadcast tomorrow night at 5PM/PST. Chick and I always have an Oscar party - from the Red Carpet all the way through the Barbara Walters special.
Film buffs look forward to the Academy Awards to see which movies win, but at Rebecca Lane, we're more interested in planning the food and drink for our gathering.
Hoping to satisfy both film lovers and foodies, I've created my small plate menu based on this year's nominees. The menu plan wasn't easy (as I have not seen all the nominees) but I tried to feature specific dishes that make an appearance in the film or speak to the people and places in each film.
Here is our party plan:
Red Carpet Spiced Gonzo Garbanzo Beans served with Barefoot Bubby (let's get the party started with a 2 hour Red Carpet show)
