star wars salute

On Monday night my hip sister-in-law, brother, Trevor and I were constructing an imaginary restaurant where all the entrees were based on a Star Wars character. The menu was as follows:

  • The Yoda Burger: a 1/8 lb. patty on a mini bun, with two curved slices of avocado sticking out the sides. Flashlight on the side.
  • Leia Buns: enlarged sweet rolls with brown cinnamon
  • Cajun Catfish: in honor of Lando Calrissian, whose mustache is mirrored in the catfish
  • Akbar Calamari: deep fried squid for General Akbar
  • Anakin Steak: Flame broiled and very rare.
  • Emperor Flan: white, wiggly, and kind of wrinkled. Caramelized on top.
  • Padme Salad: Only floating fruits in this salad.
  • Luke Chicken Fingers: In honor of Luke's lost hand, this dish highlights chicken fingers
  • The Han Solo: hotdog on bun with french fries.
  • Obi Wan Granola: what does Obi Wan eat?!
  • C3PO: This isn't really a dish; just a lot of useless utensils, like a spork and a fpoon.

To conclude my salute to Star Wars, I've included a photograph of the graphic on a onesie I recently purchased. Trevor and I likely will not be outfitting this baby with expensive, name-brand clothing, since our budget for that lies somewhere between "the coins we find in the couch" and "the change from the grocery store." However, I was given a coupon to Baby Gap in a packet of such things from the doctor's office, and I used it to buy this, which just HAD TO BE MINE.

  1. Perhaps in an effort to expand your baby clothes budget you should open this restaurant. I would be one of your most frequent diners! Seriously, those ideas are brilliant.
