Fun and Fancy Free Magical Meal

We saw this movie many years ago so it was good to enjoy it with our older kids now. If you like the classic tale, “Jack and the Beanstalk,” you’ll enjoy the Disney characters in this remake. Here’s our menu: Mickey’s “I sold the cow for some magical beans” Steak Bean “Stalks” Fe Fi Fo Fettucini Fun and Fancy “Tea” Bongo Berries and Cream Take cube steak and beat until thin. Then dredge in all purpose flour. Place frying pan medium heat, and add small amount of oil. Carefully fry the cube steaks, continuing to turn until cooked to desire doneness. For the bean “stalks” clean a bunch of celery stalks and arrange on platter. You can fill them with whatever your family likes such as peanut butter, cream cheese, or bean dip. Cook the fettucini noodles according to package instructions. Drain the pasta, but reserve ½ cup of the water. Meanwhile beat two sticker of softened butter together with ½ pound of Parmesan cheese. While noodles are still hot, mix with salt to taste and cheese mixture. Add ¼ cup of the water. Mix well. Add the remaining ¼ cup water if needed for a smooth, creamy sauce. Serve hot. The Fun and Fancy “Tea” is simply a mixture of iced tea and cranberry juice. Mix the same amount of one with the other (example: 2 cups of tea with 2 cups of juice). The cranberry juice as sugar in it so you might want to used unsweetened tea. Clean a batch of your family’s favorite berries. Serve with whipped cream on top. Here’s Thomas’s review: Fun and Fancy Free is a fun movie. I’ve seen it as a kid, and I still like it. The story of the circus bear leaving to live in the wild was pretty nice. The “Jack and the Beanstalk” story was a good adaptation with Mickey, Donald, and Goofy all being “Jacks.” The animation is still good with the live action moments. Jimminy Cricket was a good host, the bear was fine, and I still love Mickey, Donald, and Goofy too. The songs were okay and some were catchy. Fun and Fancy Free is a good movie to watch and have some fun! Story: 7/10 Animation:7/10 Character: 8/10 Songs: 8/10 Total: 7/10
