^^Here’s my original photo, just for kicks :) I usually go back and change the story of the post too, to keep it fresh, but for some reason I just couldn’t let this one go. I mean, who could toss out a list of their favorite movie quotes? Apparently I can’t. So here it is, Karen From Yesteryear (circa April 2012): Eric’s birthday is coming up. At work they sent him a get-to-know-you questionnaire so that they can read it at their next staff meeting. The last question was What is your favorite movie? Instead of naming one, he listed 16, complete with genre categories. That’s what you get when you ask people like Eric about movies. For all you movie buffs, here’s Eric’s favorite “movie”: Comedies: Groundhog Day. Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.Classics: Casablanca. It’s a Wonderful Life. The General.Animated: Ratatouille. Wall-E. Spirited Away.Epics: Star Wars. Lord of the Rings. Indiana Jones.Action: Inception. The Matrix.Others: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Cast Away. The Truman Show.
- Han Solo: Keep your distance, Chewie, but don’t LOOK like you’re trying to keep your distance. [Chewie barks a question] Han Solo: I don’t know. Fly casual!This is, of course, from Star Wars. I don’t even need to make an explanation for Han Solo’s awesomeness.
- Chunk: Mikey, Mikey, this ain’t the kind of place you wanna go to the bathroom in.Mama Fratelli: Why not?Chunk: Because they might have daddy longlegs and um… dead things, Mikey, DEAD THINGS!Goonies!! I was obsessed with this movie as a tween. What, you weren’t??
- Miracle Max: Get back, witch. Valerie: I’m not a witch, I’m your wife! Vizinni: No more rhymes now, I mean it.Fezzik: Anybody want a peanut? These are from The Princess Bride, possibly the most quotable movie of all time.
- The kid is a L7 weenie. From the Sandlot. Yes please. (Do you want a s’more? Some more of what?)
- Buzz! Your girlfriend! Woof! Kevin Mcallister on Home Alone. I will never get over this movie. It cracks me up. Just the other day my friend and I were in our church’s kitchen and I held up a spoon and said, “Is this real silver?” And she whispered loudly, “Put it in your purse. Just put it in your purse!!” And I knew that I had found a Home Alone kindred spirit.
- Dionne: Hello? There was a stop sign.Cher: I totally paused.This is from Clueless. I think this to myself every time I roll through a stop sign, and imagine myself saying it to a cop as an excuse. But officer, I totally paused! Okay people. Your favorite movie quotes? Everybody’s got one! Come on, spill in the comments! The first time I made this, I used the ham bone from this Raspberry Chipotle Glazed Ham (my favorite ham, ever.) The chipotle gave the soup a little kick that I loved, so I’ve incorporated it into this recipe by adding chipotle chili powder. If you don’t have any, you could use regular chili powder, or omit entirely. I really love the extra layer of smokiness it adds, as if smoked ham and smoked gouda weren’t enough. « This, by the way, is totally not optional, in my opinion. Gouda for president!! It’s a game changer, friends. Well, yeah, actually. Split peas are just regular green peas, dried and then split in half so they’re faster to cook. Pea soup dates back to ancient times (I’m talking Egyptians and ancient Romans) and has been eaten by everyone: European peasants, sailors, people struggling in the Great Depression, you name it. It’s really good for you and the smoked ham and gouda make it taste amazing too. Garlic Knots « it’s impossible to say no to these garlic buttery beauties Grandma Prudy’s Rye Bread « this is not the rye bread you’re used to! It’s lighter, more mild, and insanely good sliced and toasted with butter. Aunt Shirley’s Famous Dinner Rolls « so fluffy!! Shortening makes these rise super high. Quick and Easy French Bread « only one hour to hot bread on your table?? It’s true! Garlic and Rosemary Skillet Bread « baked in a cast iron for amazing crispy edges. Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram Cream Cheese Chicken Chili « this would be great for Game Day! You could even serve it as a dip with tortilla chips. Yummm: Cheeseburger Soup « in case you needed another way to eat cheeseburgers…this is the stuff.
