WASHINGTON, DC – The Society of Recovering Sorority Girls, through its founders Kristina “Morgan” Rose and Deandra “Brooksie” Brooks, announce their expert tips hostesses planning parties around the 2004 Olympic Games.  Today, the Opening Ceremonies mark the start of the games, kicking off 17 days of televised coverage.

“Hosting an Olympics-watching party should be an easy get-together to plan,” explained Morgan. “You set the mood by simply turning on the TV.  Plus with Greece hosting the games, you can serve an array of Greek dishes and wine or ouzo.”

 

“And don’t forget to give out medals to the guests who correctly guess the winners of the different events you watch at your party,” added Brooksie.

As numerous recent media reports have explained, traditional Greek cuisine relies on seasonal offerings and a respect for individual ingredients which limits manipulation.  Intensity is found in the flavor, as opposed to the labor.  Small plate offerings from trendy meze restaurants typically feature olives, strong cheeses, dips and pickled vegetables.

 

“A Greek menu is perfect for the less experienced cook.  Xoriatiki, the traditional Greek salad, really only requires chopping.  Tzatziki and humus can be purchased already made.  Even souvlaki or meat kabobs is within reach of a novice hostess,” advised Morgan.

 

Both Morgan and Brooksie discourage hostesses from serving lamb or rabbit.  Although these meats are commonly used in Greek cooking, they are less prevalent in American cuisine and may not be well received by guests.

 

“The chance to host an Olympics-watching party only happens every four years.  Why not make the most of it!  Besides, if the rhythmic gymnastics is considered too athletic for your partiers, you can always just watch “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” and take a shot of ouzo every time they say, ‘opah’,” concluded Brooksie.
