Title: Stir Crazy Topic -- Dinner and a Movie
Post by: Kristin Meredith on March 25, 2020, 04:39:25 PM: OK folks, I realize I am going stir crazy, so I am going to post and see all those creative minds out there start working and come up with some good things for all all to read and maybe implement. It is called "Dinner and a Movie". You select a movie and then tell us your accompanying menu plan. I don't have one yet, but will put out a bad example and hopefully others will join in. You are not limited to just one -- post away as many times, please!! I need something to occupy my mind!

Example:

Movie: Silence of the Lambs

Menu: Crown Roast of Lamb
Fava Beans
Mint Jelly
Chianti

I know it is a bad example, hopefully someone can improve upon it!!!

Post by: reubenray on March 26, 2020, 07:44:21 AM: Our 46 anniversary is coming up next week. We had planned on eating out, but locally there are no sit down restaurants allowed due to the virus. We could order take out, but we live 20 minutes away so the food may not be at it's best by the time we got back home. So we will be eating at our own BBQ/smoke restaurant instead. I have some nice size porterhouse steaks to grill along with baked potatoes and something. We have extra bananas that are quickly going bad, so I hope to get banana pudding also.

Being I have 15 free movies from Dish we will watch a movie that night and have beer and popcorn to snack on. We have been doing Saturday date nights with beer and popcorn for a while already.

It will most likely be the latest Terminator movie. We watched the latest Jumanji movie last weekend.

We will have the Porterhouse steak, baked potato and banana pudding for a late lunch. If we had fresh corn we would have corn on the cob also, but we don't. A local farmer has the best corn out there which we are hoping will be coming soon. A local farmers market does not have much yet.

After our siesta we will watch the movie as it gets dark with beer and popcorn.

Post by: jdmessner on March 26, 2020, 11:53:44 PM: Blazing Saddles was probably the first R rated movie I went to in high school. It had a profound impact on me. I recently found it in a bargain bin for $1. I was all set to watch it tonight but I got side tracked. I did however enjoy the perfect meal to go with it.

Menu: Beans, lots of beans and a reverse sear sirloin steak.
