Oscar Party Night Recipes

(Published on iSurf News on February 25, 2011)

 If you are ready to "Roll Out the Red Carpet", you can entertain just like a Hollywood event. When your guests arrive, have them to "autograph" your guest book and then start the party with a trivia game, asking questions about previous "Best Pictures" Or "Leading Roles". Hand out voting ballots before the awards show begins so your guests can cast their vote. Have prizes for those that predict the winners. Some clever prizes could include movie rental coupons, movie posters or packets of microwave popcorn. Don't forget the papparazzi. Have someone ready with a camera to catch all the action!

The temperatures have warmed up for this week, but don't be fooled, Old Man Winter still has another month to get in that last punch or two! So while we are waiting for the wonders of spring to arrive, let's try some unusual chili recipes. If you don't want to venture away from your favorite chili recipe, you can always try adding something new to your old favorite, just by adding a different ingredient, you can get a whole new flavor. Try adding some butter, a cup of brewed coffee, cocoa powder or shredded chocolate, cinnamon or a can of beer (the alcohol will cook off, but the flavor will not).

Whether you are giving flowers, candy or perfume to your loved one, or maybe a more practical gift, such as a book they have been wanting or some kind of collectible for their collection, make sure that you are getting them something they really want. And never, I mean never, believe it when she says, “Oh, Honey, you don't have to get me anything for Valentine's Day.” Guys, if you hear that, you better try even harder to find the perfect gift.
