Are bạn one of those people who is incredibly open to suggestion, especially when it comes to food?
Good. Me too.
A lot of my yêu thích 90s phim chiếu rạp have an iconic thực phẩm featured in them. If you're watching The Sandlot, bạn gotta have a s'more. (S'more what?) So I've put together a menu to accompany a 90s movie marathon.
This is a trick I used back in my baby-sitting days. Kids are also very open to suggestion, which can really be used to your advantage when bạn want them to think you're cool. If bạn feed kids pizza, bánh pizza on the same ngày they watch the Ninja Turtles enjoy a cheesy slice, they will worship you.
This was originally meant as an I'm-an-adult-and-I-can-do-what-I-want kind of bài viết for 90s kids with fond memories of these movies, but it kinda turned into a baby-sitting thing. It still applies to everyone - bạn can do it bởi yourself hoặc with fellow 90s kids trying to turn back the clock, hoặc make some current kids feel super cool bởi introducing them to awesome "old movies". (Bonus points if you're watching any of these on VHS.)
This is a full day's menu, so it covers breakfast through a midnight snack. Nutritionists and calorie-counting parents would probably advise bạn against doing all this in one day, and/or try to murder bạn with a cần tây stalk. If you're using these for baby-sitting someone else's kids, maybe just one a ngày after clearing it with them. Some parents won't let their kids eat while watching TV, so if you're doing the baby-sitting thing, thực phẩm might happen after instead of during a movie.
But if you're capable of making those decisions for yourself and want to try it all in one day, go for it! (I'm not forcing bạn to do any of this and will not be held responsible if bạn wake up looking like the picture at the end.)
BREAKFAST
Movie: Matilda
Food: bánh xèo, bánh kếp hoặc Cereal
Matilda learns to take care of herself at a young age, because her parents suck at it. In the beginning of the movie, Matilda makes herself a fancy breakfast of pancakes. From scratch. I'm thêm of a from-a-premixed-box gal myself, but if you're willing to go the extra mile for real bánh xèo, bánh kếp made from scratch, then go you!
The alternative is cereal. When Matilda first starts getting a feel for her powers, she tests them on a box of Cheerios.
Baby-Sitting Bonus Points: Let the kids try to di chuyển the box of cereal with their minds. But if they knock it over, they're the ones who have to clean it up.
What about the cake? The most notorious thực phẩm in Matilda is The Cake. Bruce Bogtrotter is forced at crop-point to eat an entire gigantic Sô cô la cake. This scene can be seen as kinda gross, but if you're a cake-for-breakfast kind of grown-up and not bothered bởi the discussions of when he's going to puke, then bởi all means, eat your cake with Bruce. But probably not a whole one. And I strongly advise against feeding large quantities of Sô cô la cake to children, unless the parents will be returning in the tiếp theo 15 phút to handle the sugar high.
LUNCH
Movie: Harriet the Spy
Food: cà chua Sandwich
Harriet M. Welch's signature lunch is a cà chua and mayonnaise sandwich. She's taken one to school with her every ngày for the last five years. Her life would be incomplete without it.
OR
Movie: The Baby-Sitters Club
Food: đậu phụng, đậu phộng bơ & trái chuối, chuối Sandwich
When Kristy goes to meet her long-lost-but-recently-returned dad, she packs his yêu thích sandwich: đậu phụng, đậu phộng bơ and banana.
DINNER
Movie: Good Burger
Food: Burgers
Welcome to Good Burger, trang chủ of the Good Burger, can I take your order? Yeah. This one's pretty obvious. Go get your burger on.
Baby-Sitting Bonus Points: Make Ed's Sauce. Nobody knows what's really in it, but if bạn know what the kids (or you) like, bạn can make your own sauce bởi mixing mayo & ketchup hoặc French dressing. hoặc if you're really in the mood, try making link recipe.
OR
Movie: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Food: Pizza
Another pretty obvious one. Those Turtles tình yêu their pizza. Hold the penicillin.
DESSERT
Movie: The Sandlot
Food: S'mores
"Want a s'more?" "Some thêm what?" You're killing me, Smalls! As Ham explains to clueless newbie Smalls, a s'more is a graham cracker, chocolate, and marshmallows, topped with another graham cracker. They make them with candles in the movie (like savages), but bạn can make them in the microwave hoặc the lò nướng bánh, máy nướng bánh mỳ oven. They're easy to make and deliciously gooey. I'll have s'more s'mores, please.
MIDNIGHT SNACK
Movie: Heavyweights
Food: Whatever bạn want.
If you're still going after all that, put on Heavyweights. 'Cause there's a good chance you're gonna wake up like this:
