There are many Oscars that I would love to award today! and in no specific order… How about the designers that come up with these amazing canvases that we get to stitch? the thread companies that have countless choices of threads in all sizes, shapes, thicknesses and colors? and then the names that they come up with for these threads? how do they think of so many names? the teachers that come up with these unbelievable ideas, stitches, techniques, pick out the prefect thread to go along with that prefect stitch? the shops and their crew that wait on us hand and foot, are always so nice to us? putting threads away, putting our canvases on stretcher bars, picking up after us… especially the floor with all those orts and needles!? and the shop owners who make sure that we have teachers there to lead us on in our stitching adventures? keeping the shops full of new canvases, threads, bags and all sorts of toys to add to our retail therapy experience? in my eyes they all get the Oscar!
Oscar viewing is a great night for parties as many amazing dishes take front and center in a supporting or leading roll during the Oscars. All the pictures are compliments of food52blog along with their recipes.
Best Roasted Chicken for the movie Birdman…
Homemade Crumpets representing Imitation Game…
Ummmm, cream puffs! My mom bakes the best cream puffs, maybe it’s because I get to lick the beaters after she whips up the heavy cream! I’ll be watching Downton and Grantchester, and take peeks at the Oscar show just for NPH….I’ve been a fan since Doogie Howser days, and my daughter has been a fan since HIMYM.
I will probably do the same! and my Mom used to make awesome cream puffs too!
