I am running away now to play wordle, pips, sudoku etc with my wife in bed before we go to sleep. Even though I do plenty of cooking for our household and make a mean carne asada tacos I am leaving before I do anymore damage with my improvised recipes and will leave it to the professionals.
I wanna say we melt butter chop chicken breasts, take corn flakes, grated parmesean cheese, and powdered ranch seasoning. Crush the cornflakes in a gallon ziplock, add parmesean and ranch. Dip raw chicken in the melted liquid butter then put them in the ziplock mix until coated put on a baking sheet
Ooh I have a legit cornflakes recipe that we call Nate's favorite chicken after my oldest.
Maybe we got it off the side of the velveeta or stovetop box. Please don't die.
At the very least you get the premise and can improvise to taste or technique. Boiled seems right memory wise but odd to me now I would probably season them and fry them in a pan. Maybe that would make it too dry.
Maybe we boiled the chicken breasts and chopped them up to put in the pan. I'm getting scared now like I should consult the boss. If I did she would probably say it was an ancient family secret and how dare I spread it on the interweb. I just remember it being so so but edible. At your own risk.
Oh, maybe I better get my wife involved ... before I poison my friends across the country with I recipe I used to make a quarter of a century ago.
Cream of chicken
But it totally meets thr requirements for Hotdish, and that is the first I'd heard of hotdish.
Poor college students
Cook chicken first ran out of room
1 box stove top make normally mix 1 can of chicken soup, 2 Tb spoons flour, 8 oz of velveeta cheese, 10 oz of evaporated milk in sauce pan stirred until cheese melts. Butter 9x13 glass dish, with chopped chicken breast in pan + cheese mixture then add the stuffing on top bake at 350 for 30 minutes
When I was a poor newlywed we ate this concoction we dreamt up called chicken stuff. It was a chicken and stovetop casserole. Recipe below👇

That is rad
Post a movie that starts with the word THE... The Point 1971 narrated by Ringo Starr and songs by Harry Nilsson.
Back away from me I have t-shirts older than you and I was born in the nineteen hundreds.

I need some more Hamburglar bling. Didn't know you reached into a barrel to get them.
I bought that cassette in 1991 for that song alone.
That guy is a spitting image of a horror host Zacherley.
Haha I had no idea there was a comic adaptation!
It's where Dracula keeps his snacks. You also see them later in the movie.
Sorry, I didn't hear you correctly. Must have been a bit of soil from my native land in my ear from my coffin.
If I was going to do one it would either be this 18 year old guy fighting Bruce Lee as unnamed thug in Enter the Dragon or the pharmacist guy from Revenge of the Creature the sequel to Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Graham Greene 6/22/52-9/1/25 Two of many of my favorite roles of his.
Waiting for Shawn to do this guy who had a bit part as a guy with a hairy back then later on in his career lived in a van.
There was this thug who had a starring role as head thug in a little sci-fi martial arts comedy movie you may have heard of.

Beets taste like dirt to me. I actively avoid them. You are welcome to all of mine as well if you like them. There is a high school here with students called beet diggers and Digger Dan as their mascot.
That time I corrected X-Men editor Tom Brevoort about the basic Wolverine fact of when we learned he was a mutant for his article on "When Was Wolverine Wolverine?" His view on AI is as lazy as his research. Real art and creativity takes effort and time. AI art is lazy and steals from real artists.
The parents question their child's abilities or, at the very least, people's perceptions of their kid's abilities. But the norms of society dictate a polite response to gift giving. They smile while questioning everything. Be careful in your machiavellian scheming because it can create villains.
All with the added bonus of the implied suggestion that the child lacks the fine motor skills to use normal sized crayons and must use gross dexterity with the jumbo ones. The parents are galled by the insults, the child is distraught and perplexed, and they have to thank you for your kindness.
If the kid has brains and realizes that he shouldn't color the main characters because they are white you create your original intention of uselessness but add internal stryfe because the crayons become as useless as the book and he wants to use them to fulfill their purpose but is torn.
Give them the book and these Jumbo crayons. Too large to stay in the lines. Absolves you of culpability while seeming to be nice. Punishes the source, the parents, and creates a dissonance when the kid colors all of Dalmatians multi-colored. Parents uneasy and discomfited but unable to say why.
Dude, you should get him these Star Wars origami books. My boys had the first one. Probably still around here somewhere.
@shawnrobare.com bro where are you? Drop some CREATURES! bsky.app/profile/shaw...
The next year I worried you guys weren't going to come and nervously messaged Shawn. Disaster already struck, kids puked in the back seat and you guys turned around to head back home. I go to Cracker Barrel to get a Cheerwine for Jason. Only place here to get it. He introduced it to me at Retrocon.
I still have never seen them at Target. I picked up a few at FYE in the mall and the rest at Walmart. They are always several waves behind with peg warmers making me worry they won't order new waves until the old stock is sold, missing the newest waves altogether.
We did breathe the same air once as you guys were just arriving and I was just leaving. Just enough time for a picture. Not sure why you weren't in it. Maybe you took it or were watching the kids.
It is so expensive for us to fly out there, hotels, car rental etc.
They are currently on wave 8. Ebay scalpers already over charging and I can't find one at retail price on store shelves. Been out for months.
They did make a Wolfman but not until wave 6 I think.
I had a mansion murder mystery marathon the same day. Clue 1985, PrivateEyes 1980, MurderByDeath 1976, and Knives Out 2019. I always watch the option of all Clue endings on my DVD: How it could have happened... How about this? Here's what really happened.
There is a twist ending, well multiple twists one is a secret known to few throughout the movie the other is the tragic ending.
No, my brother and I stubbornly searched for them. I hate exclusives. Conventions, Target, Walmart all have them. Also hate when a company has a product that the public would just throw money at them that hits multiple collector niches like nostalgia, monster kids, Halloween, and you can't find them
Uhh, well, good luck. That ship may have already sailed because of scalpers and desperate collectors. New waves are coming out but are notoriously hard to find on shelves. Target and Walmart are supposed to have them. I think they are on wave 8 now.
On the edge, you say?

Yes
It is the glow version of the Neca Ben Cooper Trick or Treat Kids. Each comes wearing replica vintage Ben Cooper Halloween costumes with a street background of a costume shop.
That is 1989 Thanksgiving Day Joker. This is 1989 Mime Joker.
I found the Jeep with Garfield and the pink skateboard without Garfield at a yard sale once.
I hope you have a ball
Well, Chaney was armed with knives. We should give him a hand after that performance. The ending was disarming, I agree. I don't care about the neigh-sayers I wasn't the only one who got a kick out of it.
I hope their names are shade and shadow
Drop some CREATURES 💚
The earliest picture with us in it is 1980 with our cousin holding it. The date on the bottom of the ghost says 1972.
Here is Grandma's ceramic ghost in all its glory. bsky.app/profile/nlog...
I believe in you, Matt. Be the track suit shark you were meant to be this Halloween!
Everyone conflates memories. Me and my brother have epic battles trying to prove who is right.
Ghastly Ashley/Acne Amy are series 2 cards 77a/b. Bony Joanie/Thin Lynn are series 1 cards 29a/b.
I am 80% convinced that Wendy from Wendy's is the same as Bony Joanie from Garbage Pail Kids.
My brother has an additional Hobbit board game that is not based on the Rankin and Bass cartoon but the Ralph Bakshi Lord of the Rings style animation, perhaps for an project that was never completed or released.

The question is, how did Cindy's Ole Time Hamburgers 1975 not get sued by Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers 1969 like they sued Judy's Home Style Hamburgers 1976, demanding rebranding and damages that was settled? Similar fonts, furniture, colors, training programs, and menus.
No, but they were known for their famous Where's the Boeuf slogan campaign with the lovely Carla Feller
Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers 1969 Cindy's Ole Time Hamburgers 1975 Nothing to see here people move along, nothing suspicious at all.
Every time I see an employee after my 5th trip to get something else I realized I needed. While I was refinishing my kitchen.
Yeah, closest to us as well. I had forgotten that Hardee's is where we got the Gremlins story records from.
I assume it was actually a structure fire timed perfectly with the photo of the Hardee's guest Smurf photo.
It was normal in the 80s when any teenager could stroll in and buy gunpowder. At least it was for me and my brother growing up.
Hardee's Halloween Commercial - YouTube share.google/g3qvY1pXxLgb...
They were called Hardee's Halloween Hideaways. My brother may have ours, but they are likely still at my mom's house.
Hardee's also had plush Mickey's Christmas Carol toys, which made more sense for a Christmas offer. Again, my brother has our originals.
Hardee's also had plush Shirt Tales. My brother has our originals. I had Tyg the Tiger and my brother had Digger Mole.
In 1990, the Hardee's fun meals had Marvel Superheroes again with superhero vehicles.
Each meal had a 3-D built-in theatre in the box to view the mini 3-D comic strip of each hero as a prize.
There were four in 1983 from the Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends cartoon and the Incredible Hulk cartoon. My favorites as a kid so there was no way I was missing out on this Hardee's promotion.
You only like this one because the mouth resembles the Yip Yip alien muppets.
Sadly, all the Hardee's in my area are long gone. But I miss the explosions, Smurfs, bikini babes, sun visors, cars the size of aircraft carriers, and Small Wonder dresses. Sadly, I only have my California Raisins to remind me.
