Celebrate May the 4th with a Porg-ish Hen Dinner

I’m just going to say it, I didn’t care for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. I feel like the franchise has lost the magic that made it such an integral part of my childhood. Still, it has some cute parts, not the part where Luke milks that creature’s teat and drinks from it, mind you. On the other hand, those little porgs were pretty cute. Today being May the 4th (be with you) aka Star Wars Day, you might want some themed edibles. This recipe over on The Gluttonous Geek is inspired by those cute little bird critters from the movie.

Fortunately, no actual porgs were harmed in the making of this dish. It’s actually a Cornish game hen marinated in green milk, made partially from pistachio pudding mix. It is said to tenderize the meat and leave a sweet, nutty flavor behind.

To enjoy this dish tonight, you have to be willing to eat green pudding and small birds off the bone. I’m not a meat on the bone person personally, but this might be right up your alley. Get the full recipe here.

Star Wars Donuts: Force Glaze!

For this past May the 4th (aka Star Wars day), the bakers at Dun-Well Doughnuts in Brookyln made a variety of Star Wars themed treats. The Force was with the vegan donut bakery as they made such classics as green Yoda donuts, Leia buns, cherry flavored Darth Maul donuts, and more.

However, no matter how many Star Wars themed donuts you have, unless you have a Star Wars character in the kitchen, it is all just window dressing. That’s why Dun-Well had Boba Fett stop by and do some work. Which makes me think that they should have had a thermal detonator donut, in his honor. Oh well.

These treats look great. The people who live near this place are super lucky.
