Oscar Dogs!

Knowing the Oscar's are just around the corner, I wanted to do an Oscar-themed post. But what to do? Plenty has been posted already in the food-blogosphere in terms of Oscar-themed menus, movie themed cookies and Oscar cocktails (or is that Oscartails?). It's Hollywoods biggest night, and with plenty of glamour goes plenty of good food. But I wanted to do something different.

What was I to do?

Well, to give you an idea of my thought process for the post, take a look at this flow chart:
