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