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