I had a total geek fest this weekend, starting with my Mockingjay T3 post on Thursday. On Friday I did a little closet cosplay. My husband and I went to see The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 on Saturday afternoon – it was different from what I was hoping, but very true to the book. I was extremely impressed with the actors, even Liam Hemsworth. Sunday was cold and rainy, perfect weather to cook The Capitol’s Lamb Stew with Dried Plums and The Mellark Family Cheese Buns, courtesy of Alison’s Wonderland Recipes. Yum!

Thanks for the mention! It was fun to see your Mockingjay outfit in the T3 last Thursday. 🙂

Of course! The stew and buns were yummy, although I think my 14 year old crockpot is hotter than others – my stew was done after 5 hours on low.

Thanks for letting me know! I’ll make note of that in the post.

You look ready to take down any evil empire in this ensemble. I especially like the quilting of the top. Is this another secret Old Navy buy I have to covet?
I think I shall wait for the second half of the movie and then watch them straight through. Have yet to see Catching Fire. Come to think of it, I didn’t run out to see Maze Runner either. I think I’m about glutted on dystopia and need a break; been reading too many YA novels in that genre.

Haha, this sweatshirt is from Target. I snagged it off the clearance rack because I like the quilting. The first time I wore it my daughter said I looked like Katniss (thank you ABC family for bombarding the airwaves with Hunger Games commercials).

Oh, they were yummy! The stew was a touch sweet for my family’s taste, but I can easily adjust the sweetness the next time I make it. 🙂 I’m getting ready to have some of the leftovers for lunch – I’m going to try it over rice this time.

Fun outfit! And it sounds like a fun Hunger Games themed weekend. Glad you decided to forgo a gladiatorial style re-enactment in a nearby wood:0)!

Ha! Yeah, if I was really in the games, I’d probably be killed by the career pack the first day, or accidentally eat poisonous berries.
