    This year I decided to host my first and hopefully annual Oscar Party. The theme was “Leave the dressing up to the stars.” Nominee ballots for the guests to fill out. Competition got very fierce as there was a prize up for grabs. All the yummy food. I love to get creative with the names for dishes so we had the following: Angelina’s “I’ll Steal Your Man” Artichoke Dip DeNiro’s “Don’t Mess with Me” Deli Sandwiches M. Night’s Mini Pizzas Kate Winslet’s “Cup-kates” Tom Hanks’ “Hunk a Hunk a Cheese” Clint Eastwoods “Knock You Dead” Cosmos Although there were lots of mixed reviews about this years Oscars, I thought it…
