No – I did not watch the Oscars tonight.
In fact, although I am a huge movie fan who watches at least one movie per day, often two and sometimes three, I stopped watching the once glamorous and exciting Oscars years ago, when it had become a boring, extremely drawn-out and pointless parody of its former glory.
So, in order to have my own little oscar celebration, I created my personal version in form of a great dinner, replacing the little statue with the best dish of the night.
While avocados, nectarines, red onions and pears in a dressing of lemon juice and sweet Thai chili sauce might not seem to be nominees that fit into the same (salad) category, here they share the top honors for my new favorite salad 🙂
For obvious reasons, I’ll call this salad “Salade Oscar”
Best supporting actor – bone-in rib eye steak 🙂
In the end, a great (show) dinner, lots of applause (Bella, for the steak) and I walking away with yet another trophy (salad) 🙂

I agree with you, Hans. The Oscars show has become nothing but a parade of politic rants. I’m not interested anymore. I mean I would be interested in hearing about the movies and the actors, but I’m not interested in hearing what the actors had for breakfast or what they think about world issues. It was supposed to be about the movies.

Anneli, it used to be one of the most exciting tv-night. The glamour, the clothes, the sophistication, the suspense, etc. Now, just mostly bahhhhh…..
Cheers !

The grill marks on that steak look great! I wonder how many vegetarians are attracted by the title and then are confronted with this, LOL
