korey & anne having lots o fun

Anne and I had a blast at ATV this morning with our apps for the big night.  Anne not only went above and beyond with her recipes but the decor was outstanding. I have to let you know, she did all of it and went to the trouble to phone around to find old reels and film strip. The biggest bonus feature was that it was PURPLE!!! And her sweater was purple, my dip was purple, Lianne’s eyeshadow was purple…it was meant to be. We joked that we really didn’t care about the food it was all about the beautiful set. Well it is always about the food for us but it was great to enjoy our morning so much.

take one!!

 On the menu today: Anne’s Spatzle, Duck Confit & Canadian 3 year old Poutine

the spatzle looks like french fries assemble them into oven proof ramekins

and Korey’s Roasted Grape & Artichoke Dip

Martini a l'Oscar

I absolutley do everything possible to not throw food into the garbage and it often results in some interesting . This dip can be made with cream cheese or chevre…it turns a pretty purple around the roasted grapes. The juice from the grapes is fabulous added to spaghetti sauce and a little splash to the vodka martini garnished with Canadian  blue cheese stuffed olives.
Thanks to the Mayfair for loaning us the gorgeous film and reels. There is a screening of the Oscars on Sunday night…how fun is that.
Enjoy the show and happy cooking:)
