My husband has a part-time waiter job and works every Friday night. So the kids and I have a movie night. Cuddles under blankets, a big bowl of popcorn, and some sort of tasty treat. As I have already mentioned I am crazy about Disney, so most Fridays we spend some time with one of Walt’s masterpieces. Occasionally we will watch another family favorite like Star Wars, Annie or The Wizard of Oz, but let’s be honest it is mostly Disney in our house. Tonight we watched one of the newer disney Classics, The Lion, The Witch , and The Wardrobe. Yes, we spent two wonderful hours in the land of Narnia. It was a fantastic way to spend an evening, a terrific movie, the very best company and one of my favorite recipes of all time.
