Greek Lemon Soup
"Avgolemono"

This is the traditional wedding soup in Greece. It is light and not too filling and is just the right soup to serve when having many courses.

Heat chicken broth and water in a sauce pan. Add lemon juice, dill, salt and pepper.

Place eggs in a large serving bowl. Stirring constantly, slowly add broth to the bowl with the egg mixture. Add rice and diced chicken.

Serve hot. Garnish with fresh parsley, if you like.


Meat Kabobs
"Souvlakia"

This is a great summertime dish to make on the BBQ. I like to invite my closest friends and family to my house and we eat the souvlakia hot from the grill. Bet you can't eat just one? A great tip: top the souvlakia with tzaziki sauce and serve in a toasted pita bread.

Makes 6 to 8 kabobs

3 pounds lamb, beef, pork, or chicken, cubed
2 onions, quartered
2 green bell peppers, seeds removed, cut in 1 inch squares
2 tomatoes, cut in 1 inch squares

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons each salt and pepper
3 lemons, quartered

Preparation:

Arrange meat on skewers, alternating meat with vegetables. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano, salt and pepper.

Preheat the broiler or barbecue and grill for about 10 minutes, turning once or twice, until meat is the temperature that you like.

Squeeze lemon juice over the kabobs and serve hot.

Answer 4

You could try a Power Point presentation, a dramatic reenactment based on a script, or anything "visual" that suits your fancy. As long as you put effort into it, you should be alright. Visual art can be so many different things, though, so you have a lot of options in front of you.
