oscars party

{mini bottles of champagne, orange cream soda and rootbeer to sip on}

 {mini bags of popcorn make it easier to snack and view}

 {homemade caramel corn - terribly addicting}

{minnie's chocolate pie... with no special ingredients ;)}

 {always more fun when there's a bit of a wager on the night's winners}

 {coconut shrimp nod to 'the descendants' hawaiian flavor}

sunday night i had a few of my girlfriends over to watch the oscars. everyone brought a dish that related to a best picture nominee, including a chocolate pie (the help), galettes (midnight in paris and coconut shrimp (the descendants). aside from emma stone's adorable act and angelina's dramatic pose, i thought the show was a bit of a snooze. but it's always fun to judge the dresses on the red carpet while wearing sweats and ponytails.
