Today Dish: Oscar Sunday




LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!!!
Downtown for brunch at RL; Drinks at NoMI in the Park Hyatt; Champagne purchased; the perfect start to Oscar Sunday.


  

Take Two
Grazing meal preparation.
Oscar Sunday is a great day to serve finger food on an Oscar inspired table.



Ballots for voting insure heated discussion while munching on French lamb chops, potato pancakes with smoked salmon topped with crème fraiche and fresh chive, fish tacos, asparagus, prosciutto and havarti wrapped with puff pastry and charcuterie tray.
Chocolate tuxedo strawberries accompanied by champagne provide the needed touch of class. 
                                             

Plain chocolate covered berries are easily made but can be found several places such as Edible Arrangements. For tuxedo berries Cooper’s Hawk Restaurant has them available daily. But again they are time consuming to make but not difficult.
Get as much as possible on the table to streamline fuss during the telecast. Lauren “Formal Wear” plates suit the occasion, especially the “Bow Tie” canapés and the “Cocktail Dress” salad plates.

                                                                     
 Drinks, glassware, plates, napkins and food provide everything needed to let us feel part of the Academy festivities.
Black Tie Optional!
