The Adventures of Icabod and Mr. Toad Magical Meal

Interesting. It was our first time seeing this DVD. It was nice to see where the Mr. Toad of “Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride” first came from. And who could not love hearing Bing Crosby’s melodic voice in “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” We loved this meal too. Headless Horseman Meatballs Sleepy Hollow Creamed Peas and Potatoes Toad Hall Toast and Merrily, Merrily Marmalade Wind and the Willow Watermelon Katrina Kookies In a bowl, mix 1 pound ground beef, ¼ cup dry breadcrumbs, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 small onion minced, and 1 egg. Shape into good-sized meatballs. Heat oven at 350 degrees. Line a large cookie sheet with tin foil. Place meatballs on foil and bake for 45 minutes. For the Sleepy Hollow Creamed Peas and Potatoes cook 1 pound of small red-skinned potatoes in a medium saucepan of boiling water for 25-30 minutes. Drain. Peel if you’d like, although the red skin adds color to the dish. In another medium saucepan, cook 1 tablespoon chopped onion in 2 tablespoons butter until tender. Blend in 2 tablespoons flour and 1 ¼ teaspoons salt. Stir in 1 ½ cups milk and heat until the mixture boils and thickens, stirring constantly. You must stay on top of this because it burns easily. If desired, cut small potatoes into fourths and then add them and a can of sweet peas (drained) to the sauce. Heat thoroughly. Get your favorite bread and toast it up. Buy your favorite marmalade or try a new flavor and set out with the toast. Cut up watermelon, or buy already in chunks and serve. For the Katrina Kookies, make sugar cookies. You can make from scratch or if you’re short on time, like I am, you can get the dough already made for you. Before putting in the oven, add pink and light blue sprinkles. Very pretty and tastes great! Thomas’s Review: The Adventures of Icabod and Mr. Toad is a nice movie to end the package film era. The story of “The Wind and the Willow” was very fun to enjoy. The story of Sleepy Hollow was unique with the ending mysterious. The animation was really good at the time. The characters were really fun to watch, especially Icabod and Mr. Toad. The Adventures of Icabod and Mr. Toad is a nice movie to watch to enjoy two good books come to life. Story: 9/10 Animation 8/10 Characters: 10/10 TOTAL: 9/10
