So down here in Ionia we like to  make up our own holidays instead of using the the other ones. 

 we love movies, I mean like LOVE MOVIES! but we don't watch TV (sometimes we have our shows that we watch, but that is besides the point) but we have a  satellite for one day a year, the Academy Awards!

every year we turn on the TV and make lots and lots of food and just sit and watch the Award show.

I personaly wasn't involved in cooking so I don't know a lot of the ingredients and proper names so bare with me please.
