Oscar Night Menu

I know your Superbowl party was a great success.  Tom Brady and Russell Wilson, having nothing else to do that day, dropped in, and you served chile, six-foot nachos and beer.

But now, Oscar night is coming. What's appropriate for watching the Academy Awards ceremony? Especially if George Clooney and Rachel McAdams are coming. (Spike Lee and Jada Pinkett Smith are not expected.)

First of all, you can't slouch on the couch in the torn tee-shirt and sweat pants you wore for the Superbowl. Get out your tuxedo. And you might get a haircut, as well.

As for the menu, we recommend shakers of Martinis and Manhattans, blinis and caviar, foie gras with truffles, and an entire endangered species of your choice. Champagne and croquembouche for dessert. Of course, if DiCaprio comes, he'll just run out and seize some wild beast.

Seating is important. If you lack sufficient chairs, have some guests sit on others' shoulders.

And don't forget the traditional swag bag when they're leaving. Good way to get rid of a lot of stuff that needs recycling.
