gothams3rdrobinOur usual routine on a Friday is to grab a frozen pizza and some garlic bread from the Iceland supermarket near Rowan's school and eat it while watching a DVD - I think we've been doing it for a good couple of years now. We didn't do it last Friday, as we hadn't had the chance to go get some pizza with the snow and school closures, and Rowan was actually kind of put out. *grins* Nice to know he enjoys it.
This week, however, Rowan's had pizza three times; once for Sunday lunch ('cause we missed it on Friday), then when he was playing at a friend's house on Tuesday night, and finally for his lunch on Wednesday when my Dad looked after him for me. So you can imagine he was extremely reluctant to have the usual Friday night meal tonight, and I really didn't blame him.
So we came up with a compromise, that I'd actually been considering all week. We've agreed that from now on, we'll make up our own versions of fast food - I already make up my own 'Whopper with Cheese' every now and again. Tonight we were having 'Kentucky Fried Chicken'; 'Southern-fried' chicken portions, some oven chips and corn on the cob. Rowan initially wanted me to buy the 'Mega Pack', supplied for just such a meal idea and, while I originally agreed, I reconsidered when I saw just how much chicken there was. Far too much for just the two of us. I did relent a little and buy a small box of popcorn chicken though :-)
Tonight's movie choice was 'Labyrinth' - Rowan really likes it. He saw it in school before I picked up our copy, and this is the second time he's chosen it for movie night. He did originally think the Gobin King was played by a woman though! *laughs*
I need to pick up a copy of 'Willow' sometime, I think he'll like that just as much. Maybe 'Dark Crystal' too - I don't think I've ever seen all of that.

Date: 2010-01-16 08:07 am (UTC)A couple of Decembers ago I was given a box set with Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, and Mirror Mask in it. Now, when I think of one, I think of the other two. They are all wonderful..
