OSCAR NIGHT AT CSL

CSL's annual oscar fete took place on Sunday March 7 2010. Guests feasted on a fusion like menu, consisting of pad thai, with shrimp and small hors d'oeuvres (slow roasted grape tomatoes, with fig - olive preserve and goats cheese).

Though we do enjoy the red carpet, our favourite moment of the show was the winner of best supporting actor, Christoph Waltz - a good lesson in patience and perseverance.

Chef Wolfgang puck and his team, who cooked dishes at the Governer's Ball (above), made mini oscars, and smoked salmon in the shape of Mr. Oscar himself.

WHAT WE'RE EATING AT CSL AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

Orange-zest vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.

Papardelle in a light cream sauce with baked clams.

Stout infused lamb

The holidays have been very exciting for the staff at CSL. From gingerbread cake (check out the Holiday Guide: http://www.citystyleandliving.com/holidayguide_2009) and cookies to savoury braised lamb steaks and roasted duck.

There is nothing better than freshly fallen snow, a good classic holiday movie (White Christmas or Miracle on 34 preferably) and the smell of baking to fill the air. In fact 2009 is the first year, in a while that we have had a White Christmas in Calgary. We wish everyone a fantastic 2010.
