It was also the year I also got my first crush on a celebrity: Jeremy Sumpter in Peter Pan.

Hey, Drew!

So adorkable.

Hey, Drew! Hope you had lots of fun on Christmas Day.

That's 97 minutes of time you'll never get back.

I love Avatar.

That's a lovely tradition.

Merry Christmas Eve, Drew! We usually have a honey-glazed spiral ham for dinner, with twice-baked potatoes.

I'm no cowboy, but even I can tell he's wearing chaps over his trousers. Oh, and '93 was the year I was born, so the modern era had already started, @Drew Espinosa.

Hey, Drew! Anything new going on?

Wow. When I was growing up, I hated living in a rural area. There were a few cute boys in the community, but such long distances between houses made newspaper delivery or lawnmowing services unfeasible. I guess that's why I've always enjoyed stories about "boys next-door".

Hey, Drewdrop!

I hope Drew is careful to stay away from the cow's mouth when it's grazing, or he might get swallowed!

Could also stand for "Before Disaster". Hey, Drewbear.

Bourbon-Pecan Pie Bars Preparation Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes Ingredients: Shortbread Crust 1 cup butter , softened 2/3 cup packed light-brown sugar 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste or 1 tsp vanilla 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour Pecan Topping 1/2 cup butter 1 cup packed light-brown sugar 1/3 cup honey 2 Tbsp heavy cream 1/8 tsp salt 2 cups roughly chopped pecans 2 - 3 Tbsp Bourbon Whiskey, such as Jim Beam Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13 by 9-inch baking dish with foil, leaving a two-inch overhang on all sides. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, whip 1 cup butter with 2/3 cup brown sugar and 1/2 tsp salt until pale and fluffy. Mix in vanilla bean paste or extract. 2. With mixer set on low speed, slowly add in flour and mix until dough begins to come together in crumbles. Press mixture into an even layer in prepared baking dish and bake in preheated oven 20 minutes, or until edges are golden. 3. Meanwhile prepare the topping by melting together 1/2 cup butter, brown sugar, honey, heavy cream and salt in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan set over medium heat. Simmer mixture 1 minute, then stir in Bourbon and pecans. 4. Pour pecan mixture over hot shortbread and spread into an even layer. Return to oven and bake until top is bubbling, about 20 minutes. 5. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack (you can cool in the fridge or freezer to speed up cooling) then, using foil overhang lift bars out and cut into squares. Store in an airtight container.

I'm sorry, Albert, you know I love you, but I've always thought marzipan tasted like perfumed Play-doh.

It's marzipan, of course it's bad.

Watching Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. That family would never reach the gate before final boarding in this era.

I always knew Houston was for the birds.

Hey, Bertie.

We had Mac and cheese burgers. Burgers with Mac and cheese on top.

Hey, Gary.
