Twenty Points

We are so proud of Daphne for trying twenty new foods so far in 2012.  She finally got the 20 points she needed to watch Star Wars!  So on Saturday, we had Family Star Wars Day to celebrate, complete with Princess Leia hair.

 In the morning, we tried the star fruit.  Nobody really liked it, but it counted towards Daphne's NEXT twenty points.  Not sure what her reward will be this time.  Empire Strikes Back, maybe?

Anyway, later in the afternoon, we had a late lunch and watched the movie.  There were Ham Solo sandwiches, Vader Tots (or perhaps Darth Taters...no one can agree on this), and baked Zuke Skywalker chips for lunch.

We also had home-made Wookies and Cream ice cream (vanilla with smashed up oreos) for dessert.  There are no photos because we were too busy eating it to take pictures.  It was delicious.

Daphne loved watching the movie, although I don't think she really understood all of it.  She wasn't freaked out by the sand-people like I was as a kid, but she was a little distraught about the whole battle between Obi-Wan and Darth Vader.  After the movie, we took a long LONG family walk to distract her crazy little  Daphne brain so she wouldn't be obsessing about Star Wars with a million questions at bedtime.  It worked!

The Star Wars portion of our weekend concluded on Sunday with some Princess Leia cinnamon rolls for breakfast.  I don't really have any recipes to share.  The cinnamon rolls were store-bought, the tots were frozen, and the sandwiches were sandwiches.  I did make the zucchini chips, but they weren't very good, and I'll probably try a different method next time.  And the ice cream was just the simple vanilla recipe that came with the ice cream maker, with some smashed oreos added at the end.  The fun part was coming up with the food ideas.  I hope she picks Empire Strikes Back for her next reward.  There might just be some Boba Fett-uccine in our future!
