    Before we went to see the Hornblower movie a couple of years back, we had pease porridge (split pea soup, a perrenial favorite of ours) and grog. I can't imagine you'd want to feed your kids grog (ask Ben if you need the recipes -- rum & lemon juice & water, if I remember correctly), but pease porrige might be a good addition to that list.

Papi and I have enjoyed watching this, one episode at a time, and not every day. It's a little formulaic, but the sets and the guest stars are fun. I like that it changes scenery every episode. Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.
