I'm trying to watch Athena P lore videos because god are they entertaining and so funny. But here's some shows/movies I would love a lore deep dive on and why:

Inspector gadget reboot - the 'romance' between penny and Talon was so confusing yet endearing. Also, loving how chief Quimby just Disguises himself just to give gadget a misson

Total drama - not only was it a huge fan of gross out humor and has our overlord chris mclain, it literally introduced me to the ' bad boy x good girl' trope before ripping it out and taking a character ( who was literally perfect with another) and forcing them together due to aesthetics.

Transformers: robots in Disguise ( 2015) or Transformers prime - two shows that have fanbases debating ( seriously), each saying why each respective show is better. But other than that, both are fine for what they are and gave me two crushes that I hold dearly.

Mia and me - a fairy show that's not only animated but live action? With the main character having an ability to talk to unicorns? And with one of her bullies DISCOVERING HER SECRET LIFE??

Ben and hollies little kingdom - super wholesome and I love how the humans coinside with the fairies

Max and ruby - there's a tiktoker who made a whole series on why ruby was annoying. Need I say more?

Trollhunters and the spin off 3below - honestly from what I remember, I loved the stakes of the show and how cool the Armour the main character had. Regarding the spin off, loving how the bully I think was into the alien girl

Max steel ( not the 2000s one. sorry) - Max having to come up with the most unbelievable excuses as to why he has to go is cliche but also kind of funny? And the fact that the company Max's dad works for has lore as well is kind of interesting

Dino squad - I actually remembered this show through a cringe compilation of all things and had to add it. From the theme song, to the plotines, to the fact that I had a crush on Laruzo even though he was obviously queer coded ( his Dino form was cool though)

Jem and the holograms - the I am a giant song from the misfits lives in my head rent free. Also, jem practicing trying to reveal to that one guy only from him to yell at her is funny to me

Lolirock - same with jem as revolution is iconic as well as the villians. Plus, why is was eventually taken off

The tinker bell movies - forgot I was supposed to mention movies as well ( sorry). But I love them and how the fairies each have their own abilities ( as well as different kinds). From pirate fairies to winter fairies, it's really cool.

Barbie: a fashion fairytale - I love all barbie movies equally but this...this just takes the cake. What other movie will you see ken making a child cry, fairies with attitude, rotting dresses, and a roller skating aunt?

Zoom (2015) - the trailer showing a scene of the main character and her character arguing is honestly what made me want to watch it ( I haven't but I'm planning on it)

Super hero squad - kid me was laughing my butt off when falcon married his bird. So...

The little prince movie - I didn't even read the book but when I saw that the old man had died, I was emotionally devastated, especially after listening to all his stories which inspired the main character to go find the prince UGHHH

The book of life - is it cliche? Yes. Is it like coco? Yes. Do I like that in the end, the main boy has to sing a guitar version of creep to calm down a bull? Absolutely yes!

Epic - josh hutcherson, beyonce, Amanda Seyfried, Johnny knoxville, an enemies to lovers storyline, a snail, a royal guard having a love for the queen, the enemies being bugs, and ANDD a nerdy dad. That's it.

Rise of the guardians - I absolutely love it followed jack and his arc of being seen and when he finally is, the kid and him are just so excited! Also, the fact that a lot of people are simping for the Easter bunny is a testament to how many people will call anyone sexy.

Daniel spellbound - wanted to add this because there's an awesome creator ( cough cough @bonkalore) who's made an amazing au out of this show and I wanted to see what you thought of it and your theories

Bonus options ( just random one's I think could fit): the rainbow fairies series, Lego friends, the complicated life of Claudia Christina Cortez, sonic underground, drama or sisters ( but any book by rainia would be great), Junie b Jones, stoked, barney, goddess girls, glitter force ( that's what I remember it as), invisible sister, a monster in Paris, Maya and miguel, and Martha)

If you want anymore, let me know!

that time I didn't have the card to pay and the question:

"pay by debit card?"

I replied: "no with...physical...money....paper"

because I couldn't remember how cash was called.

Potato Latke

We do potato latke to remember/ honour our Jewish friends, those that are with us and those that have since died, on first day of Hanukkah. I started doing/learned about latkes when I first started teaching, at a private Jewish school for younger children. We actually did latkes at the school with each family hosting the session with their family recipe for each day of the celebration. This recipe I have is a basic and simple recipe that I would like to share with you. There are a lot of recipes out there so explore, enjoy and remember.

2# (almost 1 kg) russet/ Irish style potatoes, peeled, course grated and juice squeezed out;

1 med to large white or yellow onion, de-juice with potatoes (see instructions below);

several scallions, spring onion tops or chives for colour (a generous handful);

matzo finely crumbed or matzo meal, for binding and crisping (optional);

1 large egg, for binding (or two medium so small eggs);

salt to taste;

oil for frying (get cooking oil that can handle high heat).

Coarsely grate peeled potatoes and onion. Mix. Squeeze out as much juice as possible (plunk it in a cheese cloth or jelly bag and twist hard until dripping stops). Add the egg and salt. Mix. You can place meal in and mix well if using -- I like it because it adds that specialness/ symbolism to the reason of the mealtime instead of just fancy hash browns/ potato pancakes.

Preheat your oven to keep latkes warm if you are not consuming right out of the skillet and having a sit down (we do it like regular pancakes where youngest goes first, load a plate then next in line and so on until every one gets one load then repeat the line-up as necessary). You can drain the latkes on paper toweling or briefly on fine grid/mesh cooking rack if you don’t want oil before transferring on to plates. If going to oven, suggest you do drain to keep them crisp. But I’m getting ahead of myself! you need to cook these before draining oil! Sorry for the bunny trail!

I like to use cast iron skillet to cook in for heat and consistency reasons -- so add your high heat oil to the pan. When oil is hot enough for frying, drop by spoonful into oil and smash with metal spatula to make a patty so it will cook through. Flip when golden. Adjust heat as necessary. Top with lox, sour cream or applesauce. We never have lox but always the sour cream and applesauce.

Enjoy and remember to say a prayer for our friends and neighbors of the Jewish faith. Hanukkah Sameach

Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost; a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11.
