Also, I am restricted to only using the term Star Wars™ to talk about the movies and this recipe, so I’ll be using some replacement words, this does not in any way mean that I do not have extensive knowledge of the entire Star Wars™ franchise.

I was excited to be selected for this particular shop because I am a big fan of Star Wars™. We have slowly been introducing each of the movies to the kids. They actually started with one of the cartoons about some defiant characters in the Star Wars™ universe. We then watched the first movie to ever come out for Star Wars™ and it is one that Eva wanted to watch over and over. Since then we moved on to the one about the Retribution of the Stygian Dynasty and then the Second Coming of the Peacekeeping Space Knight. Then we jumped backwards in time to watch the first of the prequel movies The Ghost Spirit that Causes Trouble. And this Halloween Eva and I went as Star Wars™ characters. I was the relentless pursuer of the pilot scoundrel with a heart of gold and Eva was a defiant artist and demolitions expert. To round out our love of all things Star Wars™ we all enjoy the various toys and I even have a huge collection of sealed in the box interlocking brick toys to share with the kids in a few years. I think this made me uniquely qualified to do this fun shop. Continue reading #AwakenYourTastebuds With Star Wars™ Cereal Inspired Popcorn →

A Stop at Poor People's Pub

Today we drove up to the Christmas Farm Inn. Last year we went and stayed at this Inn for the first time. It was a new family tradition that we were starting for the immediate family. Just Allison and I and the kids. We just wanted to get away and slow down for a couple of days. It was just what we needed and so when we got a message with prices at 50% off for this year we booked to come again. This time around we didn’t have to drive in a blizzard and the ride did not take 7+ white knuckled hours.

On the way up we stopped at the Poor People’s Pub once again. It is a total townie place but when I was a kid it was the best place to go and we loved it so much. I have such fond memories of this restaurant that I just have to take the kids there on these trips. Eva and I shared a pepperoni pizza, Allison got a meatball sub and Andrew a hot dog. The kids colored in some pictures from 1989 and we had a great time. Continue reading Back to the Christmas Farm Inn →
