Q is the Name of the Game
When I was a kid, the only day we were allowed to eat dinner in front of the television was Star Trek night. Jessica and I would sit on the wood floor of the family room, tucked under our Cabbage Patch Kids TV trays, carefully eating while keeping our eyes on the TV. When the opening music started, Dad would turn the volume up to its maximum, sometimes loud enough to make us cover our ears and cry, "DAA-AAAD!"
I'm pretty sure I've seen every episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, but it's more nostalgia than something I know.
This weekend, my friends had a Q marathon. We watched all the episodes of TNG featuring Q (about eight hours' worth), and ate all Q-foods. We had nachos with queso, quinoa chili, quiche, quesadillas, Quality Street chocolates, quince tart (my contribution), Quaker Oats granola bars, queso-flavored chips. There was Q Syrah, SapporoQ and PranQster beers.
(FYI: quince needs to be boiled before it's tasty, making it possibly not worth the effort over using apples when not trying to fit a Q-foods theme.)
So even though I wouldn't consider myself all that much of an expert on Star Trek these days, it was quite enjoyable for episodes to be nostalgically familiar. And I think the most fun came in figuring out what Q-foods were out there! People were so creative!
Great way to spend a Sunday.
