Are 당신 one of those people who is incredibly open to suggestion, especially when it comes to food?
Good. Me too.
A lot of my 가장 좋아하는 90s 영화 have an iconic 음식 featured in them. If you're watching The Sandlot, 당신 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 당신 want them to think you're cool. If 당신 feed kids 피자 on the same 일 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 기사 for 90s kids with fond memories of these movies, but it kinda turned into a baby-sitting thing. It still applies to everyone - 당신 can do it 의해 yourself 또는 with fellow 90s kids trying to turn back the clock, 또는 make some current kids feel super cool 의해 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 당신 against doing all this in one day, and/or try to murder 당신 with a 셀러리 stalk. If you're using these for baby-sitting someone else's kids, maybe just one a 일 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, 음식 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 당신 to do any of this and will not be held responsible if 당신 wake up looking like the picture at the end.)
BREAKFAST
Movie: Matilda
Food: 팬케이크 또는 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 더 많이 of a from-a-premixed-box gal myself, but if you're willing to go the extra mile for real 팬케이크 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 옮기기 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 음식 in Matilda is The Cake. Bruce Bogtrotter is forced at crop-point to eat an entire gigantic 초콜릿 cake. This scene can be seen as kinda gross, but if you're a cake-for-breakfast kind of grown-up and not bothered 의해 the discussions of when he's going to puke, then 의해 all means, eat your cake with Bruce. But probably not a whole one. And I strongly advise against feeding large quantities of 초콜릿 cake to children, unless the parents will be returning in the 다음 15 분 to handle the sugar high.
LUNCH
Movie: Harriet the Spy
Food: 토마토 Sandwich
Harriet M. Welch's signature lunch is a 토마토 and mayonnaise sandwich. She's taken one to school with her every 일 for the last five years. Her life would be incomplete without it.
OR
Movie: The Baby-Sitters Club
Food: 땅콩 버터 & 바나나 Sandwich
When Kristy goes to meet her long-lost-but-recently-returned dad, she packs his 가장 좋아하는 sandwich: 땅콩 버터 and banana.
DINNER
Movie: Good Burger
Food: Burgers
Welcome to Good Burger, 집 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 당신 know what the kids (or you) like, 당신 can make your own sauce 의해 mixing mayo & ketchup 또는 French dressing. 또는 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 사랑 their pizza. Hold the penicillin.
DESSERT
Movie: The Sandlot
Food: S'mores
"Want a s'more?" "Some 더 많이 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 당신 can make them in the microwave 또는 the 빵 굽는 사람, 토스터 oven. They're easy to make and deliciously gooey. I'll have s'more s'mores, please.
MIDNIGHT SNACK
Movie: Heavyweights
Food: Whatever 당신 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:
Good. Me too.
