What a fun weekend! I took the Chinatown Bus up to New York (an adventure in itself, to be sure), then partied the weekend away with some college friends at Columbia.
On Saturday, I went to a Robbie Burns party, where we drank Scotch, ate haggis, and sang some right bawdy tunes.
Then on Sunday, I spent the day preparing for my friend Lauren’s fourth annual Oscar Party. Lauren throws these every year (though I haven’t been since I lived in NYC) and she goes all out. Every year, there’s an award for best costume, and she spends days crafting a gourmet menu of dishes specifically envisioned to match the awards ceremony. This year’s menu included Fennel Neverland, Million Dollar Baby Carrots with Tarragon, Ray-nbow Trout Pate with Cher-Ray Tomatoes, Stilton Tart with Thomas Hayden Chutney and, my favorite, Aviatort. For beverages, we did not have merlot.
We dressed up like characters from nominated movies. Can you guess mine? Can you guess Lauren’s (curly blonde hair)?
What a blast. Even if the Oscars kind of sucked.
I was supposed to go home on Monday morning, but a major snowstorm nipped those plans in the bud. ONe more day in manhattan. Think I can handle it?
