Silence of the Lambs Dinner

Sometimes it's good to do an adult themed dinner and what adult movie is better set up for a themed dinner than Silence of the Lambs???  Well, probably lots but let's get into it. 

For dinner we had Silence of the Lamb Chops, Fava Beans, Hannibal Hummus with Buffalo Bill sauce,  A Nice Chianti, and Death's Head Moth Cookies.

Silence of the Lamb Chops
Season with Rosemary and cook in butter for a few minutes on each side until medium rare.

Fava Beans
*Kidney Beans as Fava was nowhere to be found...

Hannibal Hummus with Buffalo Bill sauce
I made hummus out of the fava beans, chick peas, and olive oil.
I seasoned with tobasco, salt, pepper, and a little bit of rosemary.

Forrest Gump Dinner

Tim planned a dinner for Forrest Gump!  He did great!  

Bubba Gump Shrimp, Forrest and Jenny's Peas and Carrots, 15 Dr. Peppers, Lt. Dan's Ice Cream, and Life Is Like A Box of Chocolates.  *Bonus Dish* pureed carrots for Maddie

Bubba Gump Shrimp

We have this AMAZING Honey Lime Shrimp recipe we tweaked a bit to use for the dinner. 

Ingredients:

1lb of shrimp (peeled and  deveined is best but we got fresh shrimp that had shells still on, peel before you marinate- we left the shells on for a few in the picture to give a fishing boat vibe.  Don't worry we didn't eat the shells)

1/2 cup of Olive Oil

1/4 cup of honey

the juice and zest of one large lime

2 cloves of garlic

1 teaspoon of salt

1/2 teaspoon of pepper

1/4 red pepper flakes 

Put all of the ingredients in zip lock bag and marinate for at least thirty minutes.  Transfer to a hot pan and cook for 10 minutes. 

Forrest and Jenny's Peas and Carrots
We cooked up frozen peas and carrots in boiling water for 5-8 minutes.

Pureed Carrots

Steam fresh or frozen carrots until soft enough to puree.  Use formula or breastmilk to get desired consistency- if you have neither, water will suffice. 

15 Dr. Peppers

*or just two*

Lt. Dan's Ice Cream

I am a sucker for Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia

Life Is Like A Box of Chocolates

Tim was able to track down the exact box of chocolates!!

We had a fun dinner to a great movie!
