S+S Chow: A Feast Fit for The Hunger Games

So I have an obsession and it is called The Hunger Games. I have been anxiously awaiting this day for a year now. Ever since I picked up the first book, it has been over. This might surpass my embarrassing obsession with Twilight. I received several text messages late last night containing pictures of my friends at various midnight premieres. If it weren't for the fact that I am like a small child and need a solid 8 hours of sleep every night,  maybe I could have bucked up to participate. But, today it shall be. In honor of such an important and memorable day, I feel we need to celebrate in the most proper way. For all of you fans out there, you will understand. All of you others, get the books. Now. Let's continue.

Nerd Alert: I am about to nerd out on Hunger Games in a serious way. 

Perhaps we should host our own Hunger Games. Shall we? Location: Undisclosed. We cannot even know about it. Don't want to risk the capital finding out. What to bring: Weaponry of course. The following weapons are encouraged: bricks, tridents, bow and arrows, fireworks, licorice, pillows, sporks, toddlers, tiaras, toddlers and tiaras, ferry dust, spiteful looks, feathers, grenades, paintbrush, upholstery nails. Just to name a few. Ok so maybe we won't fight to the death. We are going to half ass it. What we are eating: Look below. Feast your eyes on a feast fit for The Hunger Games. All of these dishes have been concocted based on the cuisine served in Panem. Ahhh glamour.

{Creamy Carrot Soup with Scallions and Poppy Seeds}

Told you it was going to get real nerdy up in here. Has anyone else seen it? What did you think? Rotten Tomatoes gave it a solid 88%. We shall see. Can't wait. Gotta go fashion my bow and arrow for our event. Good luck! Love, L+L
