How To Throw An Oscar-Winning Party

How To Throw An Oscar-Winning Party

 
Planning an Oscar party this year?

Once you have your guest list together, the obvious next crucial step is planning your snack menu, and why not use the Best Picture nominees as a theme?

Here’s some suggestions that cover all of the nominees.

To start, go to www.enigmafoodlistwizard.com for guidelines before buying any ingredients. You’ll find an article called “The Truth About Fat Burning Foods.” The views of the author, Nick Pineault, are controversial but interesting, and most importantly, if you follow at least one bit of advice from Enigma you’ve got “The Imitation Game” covered. And now for the menu itself.

MENU

Chicken Wings and Mini Drumsticks will cover not only “Birdman”, but “Whiplash”, the story of a young jazz drummer, as well. Here’s a winning recipe in the link below.

Deviled Eggs (in serving, the question of which to serve first, the chicken or the eggs, covers “The Theory of Everything.”)

The most expensive item on the menu is going to be the liquor, especially because you’re going to need a bottle 12-year-old Scotch for “Boyhood.” You’re going to have to get this in advance, but here’s a link to buy some online.

To add a gaming element, every time “American Sniper” wins something you have to take a shot.

Now for the desserts: if you’ve seen “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” you’ll know understand the importance of a little tower of cream filled pastries called a “Courtesan au Chocolat,”

Here’s a link to a recipe for making this scrumptious desert.

And for a little more variety, miniature Pecan Pies (Martin Luther King, Jr.’s personal favorite) will cover “Selma.” Serve with a cold glass of MLK.
