It's the Oscars

Our first "theme" dinner was for the 2004 Oscars. Erik and I decided to make watching the Oscar's more interesting to the kids (ages 3 and 6).

We laid out our good china, crystal and silver. We then printed these menus for each of our guests (click here to view).

This was the menu:

Prologue
Coppola's Red Carpet Wine

Act 1
Pirates of the Caribbean Salad

Act 2
Mystic Chicken
One True Ring Tortellini
Sea Bisquits
Japanese Snow Peas (the name is Lost in Translation...)
served with Coppola's Oscar Gold

Epilogue
Master and Commander's Captain's Log


As we were all big fans of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the awards show was quite a success, and dinner was a hit!
