Reel Fancy Dinners: Batman (1989) Dinner

For Father's Day we did a Batman dinner!

My husband's first word was actually Batman so we decided to do this dinner! Before Olivia was born, I gave him a Bat Dad t-shirt, diaper bag, and a ton of fun accessories!

For dinner we had "You can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs" Omelette, Bat Wings, Batman Fruit Skewers, The Joker's Smylex Cocktail, "Never rub another man's rhubarb" dessert, and "Got me a live one here" cookie crisp!
