Villains Boo Buckets At McDonald's

When I heard McDonald's was releasing villains boo buckets this year, I knew I had to get one. The villains are fabulous with their zingers. 

These were the options. Ursula. Cruella, Maleficent. Scar. Jafar. (Personally I think red should have been Mother Gothel..)

You never know which bucket you'll receive. It depends on the store. I kept my fingers crossed for Maleficent. We've always loved her, my daughter especially. She would casually dress up as her on a regular Friday. Just because. 

And guess which bucket was handed over?

Maleficent! Hooray!

It's pretty awesome and we do re-use these. I generally fill it with candy. 

And you get stickers!

I much prefer the villains buckets to the ones they had in the past:

But NOTHING can beat the ones from the 80s. The quality is so much better. And they have actual LIDS. 

Still, these villains boo buckets are pretty cool. 

Will you be grabbing a villains bucket? 

Hey, It's Okay

 I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.

HEY, IT'S OKAY....

......to be glad Natalie was home for the weekend again. I see her most weekends, since she's not working on a play. She will be busy soon though! I probably won't be seeing her the rest of the month. 

......to appreciate the cooler weather we got over the weekend. Texas participated in the fall. Yay! Mind you, it'll be back in the 80s this week, but still. I'll take it when it comes.

.......to currently be reading Someone Else's Husband by Kimberly McCreight. It's about Gretchen, who believes her husband Richard has cheated on her with a young artist named Frankie. Richard and Frankie meet on a climb to the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro and spark a connection. But weeks later, Frankie's blood is discovered in her apartment and it appears she has been murdered. Richard is arrested but he insists he didn't do it. But did it? Or perhaps it was his wife? If you need a reminder of why you should stay single, read this!

......to love that the Disney Store has Muppet Christmas Carol merch. I need the Bean Bunny plush. I watch the movie every year.

......to be early voting this week. Make sure you get out and cast your vote.

Six Ravens At Disney Springs

 Want to eat a coffyn? 

Confused?

Well, you probably think I meant COFFIN and then you picture a corpse.

No. 

I mean a COFFYN--which is a hand pie. 

You can get them at a neat spot called Six Ravens, located in Disney Springs. It's from the creators of Gideon's Bakehouse, which has the BEST cookies. So I had high hopes.

The inside is small, but there are lots of details to take in. There is no room to eat indoors, so prepare for that. 

The name Six Ravens is a nod to the Tower of London, and the coffyn was a popular pastry back in the Tudor era. So you get delicious food AND a history lesson.

They have an impressive variety of coffyns with amusing names. I went for The Moreish Monk, which was basically a grilled cheese. There was vermont white cheddar, Havarti cheese, and house tomato jam wrapped in a Parmesan smothered coffyn. It came with a wolf peach sauce to dip the coffyn in. If you love a grilled cheese & tomato soup, you will get the vibes.

Natalie got The Wizard's Wonder, which is mac & cheese with diced pickled Poblano peppers, BBQ pulled pork, shrouded in a BBQ crumb covered coffyn. This one came with Prince Donut's Smoke & Cherry BBQ sauce.

Yes, there are items beside coffyns, such as their smashed potatoes, a chocolate chip cookie tart, and yup, there is beer! Plus house made root beer.

And look what everything is served in:

And it unfolds. We liked it so much, we took it home. 

The history of the place is fascinating, and all the coffyns are under $11, so it's an inexpensive meal. I promise, these are better than Hot Pockets. 

Six Ravens is open from 10 AM-11 PM (later on Fridays and Saturdays) and is located around the corner from Gideon's Bakehouse. I am horrible with directions, and I managed to find it, so you can too!
