Since Oscar Night is such a momentous and reverential night, we MUST have a special menu!
Some magazines and cookbooks offer full meal menus for this fabulous night, but we've always done "nibbles" - lots of delectable goodies that we can just graze on during the event. So, here are our nibbles for tomorrow night:
- Sparkling Drinks
- Cheese Tray: Sharp Cheddar, Port Salut, Havarti with Dill, and Herb Cheese Spread
- Pate with Peppercorns & Pepperoni
- Ciabatta Bread & Assorted Crackers
- Condiments: Mango Chutney & Whole Grain Mustard
- Hummus with Sea Salt Bagel Chips
- Steamed Artichokes with Butter Dip
- Grapes & Clementines
- Assorted Olives & Pickles
- Vanilla, Chocolate, and Cappucino Pizelles
- Mini Chocolate Eclairs
My mouth is watering even as I write. I can't wait for tomorrow night...so exciting!

Wow, your Oscar party has items on the menu I have not only not heard of, but can't pronounce...
Ciabatta? Salut? Pizelles?
All I can say is they sound fattening, decadent and delicious.

I'm so excited to have a comment from you!!!
Here's the skinny on the food:
Ciabatta - (sha-bot-ah) fantastic loaf of bread, dense, chewy, flavorful, we use it all the time.
Port Salut - (Suh-lewd) soft and mild cheese, I use it in place of brie, which I like the taste and texture of but not the white crust.
Pizelles - (Pih-zels) rolled long wafer cookies, sometimes filled with a creamy flavored filling, sometimes left empty inside.
Great menu! Lots of different flavors, colors, textures. Yum. Love it all, especially the artichokes.
That was a fun night.

This year's menu was our favorite yet. The artichokes were a new addition this year, and were a hit. Also, I'm becoming an adoring fan of Port Salut, which is perfectly soft at room temp.
