The cosy, cheesy Oscar Party

A and I are tired of people for sometime now. Forgive us. But, we are tired of cooking and dining and hosting. Its all our fault, really. We never make it easy on ourselves. We love to entertain and make everything fancy-schmancy. Whether the guest appreciates it or not, we are very serious about it and hold a 2 member feedback session the next morning. Most of our entertaining is done on Fridays or during the weekend. And Saturday morning is spent lazily figuring out how we could have done better. Yes, we're mad. Judge us. Throw stones at us.

We wanted to throw an Oscar Party. Not. I wanted to go out and eat, while A wanted to cook as always. She took me out to lunch at Taqueria Del Sol one day and I had some heavenly cheese dip with my Tortilla chips. I've been dreaming about it ever since and couldn't take it out of my head. In fact, I looked for it everyday here, never finding it. So, while I threw tantrums asking to go out to eat, A bribed me with the idea of a private, cosy Oscar party. Just for the two of us. I'm dieting, and I knew it wasn't going to be a party in any sense for me. But he played just on that. He enticed me with 'one day only' junk food and promised he'd take care of the cooking and the cleaning while I ogled at Hugh Jackman. I fell into the carefully laid out trap. So, we had a grand party in Pajamas with a comforter thrown in for good measure and some really, really bad food. This is what we ate for over 3 hours.

Some fries. Okay, make that lot of fries. The only redeeming factor being that they were baked.
Guacamole
Hummus with some tortilla chips
Coke
Water (for me)
Chocolate pudding

Did I mention cheese dip? I didn't? We also had some cheese dip. With the Tortilla chips. No, it wasn't the other way round. In fact, I had it with Roti tonight too. Sigh. I ate well that night. After a strict carb-less, fat-less diet for 2 weeks, I alternated between cheese dip and Hugh Jackman effortlessly. Now, I have beautiful dreams of both my indulgences. *smacks lips*

Since we were making it anyway, I decided to take some pics. And I came up with this one. So, I thought I'd live my day dream. Let me explain or rather show.

You see, I'm a huge believer in miracles though it has never worked for me. I always day-dream of something so radical happening that changes my life in a positive way in an instant (without me working on it, btw) This was one such day dream. We are sending the above picture to CLICK- Cheese and Tofu, the monthly photography event hosted by the Jugalbandits.

We did not think we'd participate in CLICK this time or any time in the near future. We are 'almost' new to food blogging and our pics suck. They are far from good. If we *do* get good pics, it is out of sheer luck. However, I entertained the thought at the back of my mind constantly. You know the day-dream thingy? Just like the cheese dip I day-dreamed about and now I night-dream it too.

So, there you go. The cheese dip was delish. It was good. Really good. I should stop now.

P.S- I know we have some awards that we have to acknowledge, but I thought the cheese dip should take centerstage and we are running a little late for some stuff. So, the awards shall be duly acknowledged in the next post. I promise. Mebbe, the next post after this cheese dip post that described the cheese dip which was so yummy, so heavenly, so cheesy, so lick-worthy, so...okay, let me go finish that cheese after all. Dieting? Who am I kidding!
