Arrested Development
Those of you unfamiliar with Arrested Development may wish to skip this post and wait for normal service to resume. This weekend saw the return of AD and with a Bank Holiday Monday, an AD party was in order. A bit of creative thinking and Googling resulted in my friend P and I cooking up some favourites from the series and then sitting down to watch the new episodes and eat our creations.
 |
| You will need the above ingredients, easily sourced from Tesco and Waitrose. The Cornballer was a combination of an Argos order and some creative printing. |
1. Bluth Bananas
“There’s always money in the banana stand”
 |
| These are so easy as well as being understandable and edible for non-fans. Peel your bananas, place on a tray and stick plastic knives in them as sticks. Freeze for 2 hours. |
 |
| Melt your chocolate in the microwave. Crush the nuts. |
 |
| Coat banana in chocolate of your choice (I am a dark chocolate only kinda girl). The chocolate will harden when it makes contact with the frozen banana so work quickly! |
 |
| Roll banana in crushed nuts. |
 |
| Eat! This actually tasted so good. And its sort of healthy. One of your 5-a-day and all that. |
2. Skip’s Scramble
A breakfast dish comprised of many other breakfast dishes.
 |
| Start with the base. Toast your bread and cut into triangles. Line your paella dish or any large trough-like dish you can find. |
 |
| Bake hash browns and potatoes in the oven. Toast or grill waffles and pancakes. Scramble nine eggs and try 20 rashers of bacon. |
 |
| Add a pack of ham and a Krispy Kreme donut. DONE. |
 |
| Serve to friends and family. |
3. Hot Ham Water
Lindsay Bluth’s best creation.
 |
| Place uneaten ham from Skip’s Scramble into a saucepan. Bring to the boil. |
4. Corn Balls
Made in a Cornballer illegally imported from Mexico…
 |
| Heat your oil in the corn baller. We followed this recipe to make our corn balls. Form the balls of dough into “blobs” with your hands and stick a small piece of cheese in the middle of each one. Fry for 3 – 4 minutes. |
 |
| Done! Drain on kitchen paper to soak up some of the grease. |
 |
| Serve. |
 |
| Cheesy goodness inside. |
