Enjoy!
Week to Weekend Team
Here are some delicious food combinations that work!
Coffee ☕️ + Rice 🍚: If the Gilmore Girls were from Guam, this is how they would start their caffeine-toked morning. Just like how normal working-class households would.
Chocolate 🍫 + Cheese 🧀: This combo is popular in Indonesia and includes the best of both worlds – chocolate and cheese. Eat it as a crepe, a sandwich, or even sprinkle it on toast.
Watermelon 🍉 + Salt 🧂: An odd pairing popular in Japan. When you purchase watermelon, there’s usually a small pack of salt.
Furikake/rice crackers 🍘 + Popcorn 🍿: If you ever had Hawaiian Hurricane Popcorn before, then you know how delicious and easy it is to make. Here’s the recipe.
Chocolate Chip Cookies 🍪 + Lemon 🍋: We discovered this concoction by accident, but hey! We love it and it’s here to stay.
Espresso ☕️ + Orange juice 🍊: According to Nam from Bling Empire New York, it's a thing in Thailand and really refreshing. (shrug) Should we try it?

Continuing our theme of odd pairings, we’re dedicating this watch list to award-winning actor Brendan Fraser. While his performance in The Whale won him the Best Actor Award at the Critics’ Choice Awards, he has a whole list of classic romcom throwbacks that will still get you in the feels.
Oh my lucky stars! If all men can be as chivalrous as Adam, then we’d lock them in a fall out shelter for 35 years. Get blown away by his performance in Blast from the Past
No wheezing the ju-uice! It’s amazing how much fun digging up a frozen caveman could be! Throw wayyyyy back for some good laughs with Encino Man
Meet a man who is still afraid of his mommy in Mrs. Winterbourne
If a smoking hot she-devil (played by Elizabeth Hurley) gave you seven wishes, what would they be? Elliot’s first wish was a Big Mac and Coke in the romcom Bedazzled.
Adventure time through Egypt with reincarnated princesses and bring back mummies from the dead, but don’t worry Rick O’Connell will save the world in The Mummy Series
