Melody Time Magical Meal

Melody Time contains one of our all-time favorite songs, “The Lord is Good to Me” sung by the Johnny Appleseed character. It’s a reminder to be humbly grateful. We were grateful for this meal: Pecos Bill Western Omelets with Texas Toast Johnny Apple-sauce Bumble Bee Beans and Bacon Once Upon a Wintertime Cupcakes For the omelet, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet. For each omelet, mix 2 eggs with ½ tablespoon milk and salt to taste. Before adding to the hot skillet, cook a tablespoon minced onions and 1 tablespoon minced green bell peppers. After stir-frying for a few minutes, add about 2 tablespoons of cooked chunk ham and let heat. Then pour eggs over cooked vegetables and ham. Tilt the pan so the uncooked eggs and run to the bottom of the pan. When the eggs have set, flip and cook other side. Serve hot. In the deli section of the grocery story, purchase a loaf of Italian break. Heat a griddle and butter each side of slices. Grill to desired doneness. Fry about ¼ a package of bacon, either on stovetop or in microwave, reserving fat. Open a can of cut green beans and drain. Add about a tablespoon of water, salt to taste, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, and 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese. Heat in a microwave for 3 minutes. Add about 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease and mix. Garnish the tops of the bean with the bacon strips. Cook cupcakes using a store bought, white cake mix. Frost with pre-made white icing. For the decoration, you can sprinkle coconut or powdered sugar to appear as snow. We actually did some with coconut and some with the sugar. They had two different looks, both pretty. Add snowmen by taking a toothpick and placing 3 miniature marshmallows on it. You can add a horizontal toothpick for the snowman’s arms. Place a snowman on each cupcake. Pretty. Thank you, Johnny Appleseed for planting so many apple trees! I’m so thankful that I’m just going to enjoy a big scoop of ready-made applesauce. Thomas’s Review: Melody Time is like Make Mine Music, but a lot better. The stories are good with Johnny Appleseed and Pecos Bill being my favorites. The animation is good with a little live action. The characters are memorable especially the guardian angel in Johnny Appleseed. The songs are great and memorable. Melody Time is a good film to watch if you have the time to watch it.
