8 June 2018 - I Need a Vacation

"Wish You Were Here"

"A new kind of vacation has become popular in recent years. Two families exchange homes for the vacation period - and both benefit."

This is the premise of one of my favorite movies The Holiday


In this 2006 movie, our main characters go onto a website called HomeExchange.com.
They decide they want away from their tormented lives on Christmas so they vacation in each others homes for the Christmas Holiday.

It's an adorable movie that ends all cuddly and romantically.

Our Almanac suggests that if you wish to try this out you should join the Vacation Exchange Club!

In the 1970's, this was a directory of people who were all part of this home exchange club.
It featured homes around the world so you could swap homes with people from different backgrounds.
This is also a chance for you to visit far off places and check off some countries from your bucket list.

Home Exchange is still operating today.
You do have to pay to join, just like in the 70's, to become a member.

...

You know what!?

I would totally do this!

Mi casa es su casa!

What if....

Hear me out.

They did another movie like this and it was Bruce Wayne who exchanged homes with another person.
He gets tired of being Batman and wants to go on a vacation.

So he does the home exchange.

BUT 

The person who is vacationing in Wayne Manor accidentally finds the Bat Cave.
Before they can freak out that they are in Batman's house, the Bat Signal goes off.

What happens when Gotham needs a hero but that hero is on vacation?

Our protagonist steps up to the call of duty.
Puts on the Batsuit, drives the Batmobile, and is fighting crime.

The title of the film is...


BE THE BATMAN

This is me people.
This is where my brain goes at the end of the day.

7 May 2018 - Mary Had a Little Lamb.....Had...

Tips on Buying Lamb "A reference to "spring lamb"may make your mouth water - and well it should." Lamb is typically thought of as a seasonal meat with celebrations of Passover and Easter where lamb is usually eaten. A spring lamb is usually 3-5 months old so that the meat is very tender. Anything at the store that is labeled "LAMB" is a sheep that is a year or younger. These lambs are sometimes only milk fed. So keep these in mind as we keep talking about how to choose meet from a baby sheep. Meat from a lamb is taken from one month to one year. Lamb Chops, Leg of Lamb, and Lamb Shank are the most popular cuts. These cuts are perfect for dry-heat cooking, broiling, or roasting. You can find some delicious recipes here! Go ahead... Take a peek and eat one of these adorable babies You monsters.

30 January 2018 - Scotch Woodcock Two Ways...and more

Scotch Woodcock - Two Recipes "From Mrs. Beeton's nineteenth century homemaking guide: Spread hot buttered toast thinly with anchovy paste. Pour over a sauce made by stirring three beaten egg yolks into 1/4 pint cream, bring to a boiling point, but do not allow to boil or the sauce will curdle." This is a traditional Victorian recipe as you can tell because we get a return from Mrs. Beeton in today's Almanac post. Basically this becomes a creamy scrambled egg on toast with anchovy paste.  This is the second recipe for today "Add finely chopped hard cooked eggs to a white sauce that has been seasoned with anchovy sauce and paprika. Pour over toast." If you are wondering what eggs has to do with the title of the recipe just know that most Scottish recipes that contain chicken in it will have the word "Cock" in there too. (Don't blush you prudes) I'm not trying to be silly. (Get your head out of the gutter) ...
