When we were working on putting together the Tosche-ese Station, I was trying to figure out which cheeses mold well, so I tried lots of different varieties. Some worked great, some were complete failures, and one ended up a happy, yummy accident.

Yoda’s Rootleaf Stew
Eat, eat. Hot. Good food, hm? Good, hmm? Turns out, despite all his fancy Jedi abilities, Yoda needs some lovin’ and kind words, just like the rest of us. Make the M4P version of his stew and you’ll gets lots of both!
Now, there is an officially sanctioned Star Wars version of Rootleaf Stew. Do you remember the radio dramatization of the trilogy? NPR actually hired a famous chef to create a recipe as part of the promotion for the Empire Strikes Back. We haven’t tried that recipe yet, but once we do, I will take pictures and post them.
Yoda Napkins
“Hmmm. The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see, the future is.“ (Yoda to Palpatine in Episode II)
…well, not totally impossible. Kids are messy, and there will be spilled Bantha Milk at any good party! Having additional napkins that are more absorbent than the printed paper ones from the store (which look really fun, but aren’t very functional), are always a really good idea.
Really, it was NOT a Star Wars Wedding!
…or at least is was 95% Star Wars free! (That is probably not the answer our friends would give you if you asked them about the wedding, but it is nevertheless true!)

It’s All in the Ears! (DIY Yoda Hat)

My #1 modeling my Yoda Hat!
- My #1 modeling my Yoda Hat!
Yoda is just over 2 feet. I am almost 6 feet. He also has some 850+ years on me, so I don’t really look much like the Master. But just like him, I do make a mean rootleaf stew, I have rebellious Padowans that I am trying to guide into responsible Jedis, and I’d like to think that I am wise…ish. So, this Yoda hat has become my favorite. It is warm and cozy for cold Halloween nights; fun, convenient and out-of-the-way while dong M4P prep; and always an ice breaker when the kids have costumed events at school. In geeky good fun, it all is!
