When there is a movie or tv show that we, as a family, are excited about, we tend to try and find a dinner idea to go with that movie/show. We are nerds that way.
Don't judge, but one of our favorite shows to watch, as a family, is The Walking Dead. Yes, it's violent. Yes, it's gross. Yes, it's AWESOME!! and NO, it is not corrupting my family's minds.
Whew...ok....
So, we do not have AMC and thus have to buy each episode of the show from Amazon. Because of this, we were unable to watch the premiere last night, however we will get to watch it commercial free tonight along with the season 2 Finale (before hand of course). So, yesterday I put it out there....what food goes with The Walking Dead.
Daniel's idea was chicken and mashed potatoes...but instead of chicken breasts, we get a rotesseire chicken because we have to rip the meat off the bones *really, my kids brains are not being corrupted. Matt's idea was a better one, I thought (mainly because I am not sure about the chicken...I am still dealing with a chicken mummy, after all ). He thought we should have chili...cause it would look like we are eating guts. **seriously, this is all in fun...we are not weird, dark, gross people. So, that is what we are doing. I have opted for a quick and easy option...as you will see in another blog posting soon, my time is severely limited by my other duties.
