CREATE-A-PLATE - 2011 Oscars

Nothing sets Hollywood (and my kitchen) on fire and quite like a major Hollywood Awards show and this year was no exception. It's become somewhat of a tradition for our group of friends to get together for the annual broadcasts of the Emmys and Oscars (sorry Independent Spirit Awards, maybe next year). However, while most normal people would be happy to sit back and watch others receive praise for their creative achievements, our party guests are mandated to enter a competition of their own - the Party Potluck Palooza (alliteration sounds better). The rules are simple, each person is asked to bring a dish themed to a specific actor, movie or character. After last year's Sigourney Weiners took home the top prize (courtesy of Mr. Todd Buonopane), everyone knew they'd have to bring their A-Game if they wanted to take home the coveted $25 Gift Card to the Pleasure Chest.


So without further ado - for the Best Themed Oscar Party Dish of 2011, the nominees are...

Baked Jeff Brie-dges, submitted by Jessie


Fiery Pit of Death (aka Turkey Chili) submitted by reigning champ Todd


 Toy Story Tea, submitted by Adam

(PS. The wontons are homemade - Do not try this at home if you'd like to stay sane)

The Kids Are All Rice Crispy Treats submitted by Brian


So those are the nominees...who do you think should be crowned the winner? Sound off in the comments below and we'll reveal who actually won the Gift Card by the end of the week.
