Merry Christmas

Parental Guidance

I saw Parental Guidance the other day and it was way funny and I would so love to see it again. It had a great cast of actors and a funny story line. 10 stars all the way.
The only complaint I have is you can tell Billy Crystal had have way to much botox.

Artie and Diane agree to look after their three grandkids when their type-A helicopter parents need to leave town for work. Problems arise when the kids' 21st-century behaviors collide with Artie and Diane's old-school methods.

Sandwich monster

2 ounces of pepperoni slices, quartered (about 35 slices)
1/3 cup of pizza sauce

2. Separate dough into individual biscuits; Set one aside. Roll out each remaining biscuit into 7-inch circles on a lightly floured surface. Top half of each circle evenly with cheese, mushrooms, pepperoni and sauce, leaving 1/2 inch border. Fold dough over filling to form half moon shape; crimp edges closed with fork. Brush tops with egg.

3.Split remaining biscuit horizontally and cut each half into eight 1/4 inch strips. For each sandwich, roll two strips of dough into spirals to create eyes. Divide remaining twos strips dough into seven pieces to create noses. Arrange eyes along straight edge of each sandwich; place nose between eyes. Brush eyes and nose with egg. Place on prepared baking sheet.

4.Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 3 to 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with additional pizza sauce.

Fish and Chips

Starting with the "chips". Its actually sweet potato fries and they are good I can't stop munching on them while the fish cooks.
1 - 1 1/2 lb sweet potatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cinnamon
I also put a little brown sugar on it as well.


Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (preferably the easy release kind).

Peal the sweet potatoes. Cut into strips that are about 1/2 inch wide on each side.

Place the sweet potatoes into a seal able plastic bag. Add oil, salt, paprika and cinnamon. Seal the bag and shake well to thoroughly coat the fries. Spread the potatoes out onto the baking sheet in a single layer.

Cook for 30 minutes, turning every 10 minutes. Transfer immediately to a paper towel lined plate and serve warm.

DJANGO UNCHAINED

Sunday I was given to honor to see DJANGO UNCHAINED. I first have to say this is not my type of movie at all but my husbands type. It had lots of blood and violence in it but I actually have to say that it wasn't that bad of a movie. I don't really want to give to much a way about this movie so go see it.

The "D" is Silent. Payback Won't Be.-DjangoStoryline:Django (Jamie Foxx) is a slave living in the Deep South after having been separated from his wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington). When Django is held for a slave auction, Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz), a German bounty hunter who uses his former profession as a dentist as a cover, frees Django from his vicious masters, the Speck brothers (James Remar and James Russo), and gives him the option of helping him hunt down and kill the Brittle Brothers, a ruthless gang of killers whom only Django has seen. In return, Schultz will free Django from slavery completely and help find and rescue Broomhilda from the brutal but charming Francophile Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), who owns Candyland, a plantation where male slaves are trained to fight for sport and female slaves are forced into prostitution. Django agrees, and the two go after Candie and the Brittle gang.

Runtime: 2hr45mins
