We decided this year was all about food! We started out with Princess Leia buns, which were drizzling in peanut butter honey sauce. Along with this we had blue milk, which for those of you who do not know the story well is what Luke was drinking in the meal with his aunt and uncle (Episode 4). Then we had a light lunch when we returned from Mass. A Boba Feta Salad with strawberries and star fruit (we have always wanted to try this exotic fruit and this seemed like a good opportunity...not bad!) This was followed by Light Saber ice pops. The boys could not resist having a dual with their sabers before heading outside to eat them!
While they played out their favorite Star Wars scenes, Michael and I made dinner. We had Hans-burgers (for us this meant meatball sliders in a yummy sauce I created that were served on Hawaiian sweet rolls), "Vader Potaders," and Yoda Ears (edamame in their cases). Then I surprised the entire family with a ice cream (root beer float mix) in the shape of Hans Solo in his carbonite tomb! It was an awesome recipe and so easy! I will use this recipe again throughout the summer.
We really should be having a Star Wars marathon to end the day but we only have the VCR tapes and we would probably crash if we sat still for too long today! It was a fun day and I hope it becomes a long lasting tradition in our house!
