A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, Rockford asked me if I’d ever seen “Star Wars.” I think he was hoping I hadn’t seen it so he could make me watch it. But of course I’d seen it, I told him. Who hadn’t seen “Star Wars”? But he made me watch it anyway. And boy, was he shocked when I asked him when we’d get to the part with the robots in the desert.

Whoops. So maybe I hadn’t actually seen it before. With a son who’s become our home’s master of “Star Wars” fandom, though, I have plenty of knowledge on the topic these days.

Pete was supremely excited to learn that today was Star Wars Day, so he and I decided to stick with the theme for all of this week’s meals. Most of the naming ideas came from “Wookiee Cookies and Other Galactic Recipes,” a cookbook that Rockford and I can’t agree as to who among us gifted it to whom. (It was me. I gave it to him. It just makes sense.) I am also rather proud to announce that I came up with “Hamdo Sandwichian” all by myself. Although maybe I shouldn’t be; judging by people’s reaction it might not be quite the Lando Calrissian sound-alike that I thought it was.

Sunday: Han Burgers

I made oven-roasted Han-burgers, Tuscan Raider Taters and Jabba Jiggle for our weekly dinner with Rockford’s parents. The “taters” were garlic fries from Trader Joe’s, and the Jabba Jiggle was Jell-O with mandarin oranges and crushed pineapple. We finished the meal off with Dark Side Sundaes made with chocolate ice cream, hot fudge and crushed Oreos.

Monday: Greedo’s Burritos

It’s Cinco de Star Wars! (That doesn’t make any sense! I know!) We’ll be enjoying bean-and-rice burritos, also from Trader Joe’s.

Tuesday: Hamdo Sandwichians

I’ve been wanting to try this hot ham & cheese sandwich recipe from King’s Hawaiian for some time. I’m not sure why it’s taken me this long to make them. They spend the night in the refrigerator after they’re assembled, so they’ll be a great addition to our Busy Night arsenal if they’re good.

Wednesday: Twin Suns Toast

It’ll be an out-of-this-world breakfast for dinner, for sure.

Thursday: Hoth eats

I suppose you could call it “The Night We Move Things from the Microwave to the Freezer,” but that just isn’t on-theme, is it?

Friday: Imperial pizza

a.k.a. homemade pizza with bacon, pepperoni and pineapple. Surely you wouldn’t suggest that’s a stretch.

Did you celebrate all things “Star Wars” today?

I’m linking this up with OrgJunkie.com’s weekly Menu Plan Monday thing.
