Disney Love. Update

This is a  little late but I have finished all the Disney movies I own. My thoughts you ask? Well let's be real, it all comes down to The Big 5. The ultimate, childhood defining movies of people in their early 20s.
These magical movies are:

• Beauty and the Beast
• The Little Mermaid
• The Lion King
• Aladdin
• Pocahontas

Okay let's talk about this. If you are a boy then The Little Mermaid probably doesn't do it for you. Maybe add the Sword in the Stone would be a good replacement. Some would argue that Toy Story should be on here, but Toy Story came out in 1995, I was 13, too late to make the list. Most importantly Toy Story doesn't fit well in the list, yes it has talking animals (but they were toys), adult jokes (maybe too many), but no songs. This is the deal breaker, Disney Classics were always about the songs.

On a side note - I have to say that Up is one of the best movies by Disney or otherwise. 

If you are wondering, yes, I put The Big 5 in my order of preference.

I Cook Food: Chicken tenders

I'm convinced these are healthy.

Chicken Tenders

• 2 or 3 chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup of flour
• one egg, scrambled up!
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• extra virgin olive oil  (about 1/4 cup)
• Flavouring of your choice: parmesan cheese, cayenne pepper, fresh herbs etc.
• salt and pepper

Cut the chicken breast into strips. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium high, make sure theres enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Coat the chicken strips in flour. Scramble the egg into a dish. Mix the breadcrumbs with flavouring of your choice into another dish. Dip the flour drenched strips individually into the egg to coat then the bread crumb mixture to coat. After coated fry until cooked through. Do in batches, adding more oil as you go. Once cooked place on paper towel to soak up extra oil. Stuff face.

Meatless Mondays

The Toronto Vegetarian Association has promoting carnivores to go meatless one day a week, particually Mondays, probably because Meatless Mondays is catchy and no days of the week start with 'V'. Since I love alliteration and vegtables, I will promote this as well! 

I Read Books: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

by J.K. Rowling

I'm assuming the whole world has already read and/or seen the movie so I'll skip the plot summary. I liked this book, although theres just one thing I can't understand. Why is Harry Potter so rebelious when he has so much to lose. Dude, chill out, and try not to get expelled so much.

Disney Love.

Try defining your childhood by a pop culture reference.

Without hesitation I would define mine by Disney classics. I think I've figured out Disney's secret method to the madness:
Take one part amazing sing along-songs
one part love story
one part talking animals
one part adult jokes (this part is small enough to be ignored by the youngest, big enough to entertain the adults and then make the kids old enough to understand them feel cool) win win win.
Then take all the parts and squeeze it into a white bulky plastic VHS case. WIN.

So I recent obtained my childhood collection of VHS Disney movies. I plan to watch them all.
