There’s Olaf, melting on the table in paper cups that hold pools of ranch dressing, carrot noses and pretzel-stick arms.

On the dining room table – along with the little “Melted Olaf” appetizers – are meatballs, not the Swedish kind, but no matter, and chocolate fondue with Olaf waffles, or “Olaffles,” paired with bananas and marshmallows.

A stuffed Olaf soft toy sits near a bowl of Polar Blast Blue Hawaiian Punch, doctored up with pineapple juice and 7Up, offering more manifestations of the “Frozen” theme for tonight’s dinner.

Once a month, the four young women who live at Whitworth University’s Disney for Dinner theme house host a meal inspired by one of their favorite Disney movies. December was “Frozen.”

Look for a story in Sunday’s paper.

Meantime, here’s the recipe for those non-Swedish meatballs, from Whitworth student and Disney for Dinner housemate Sarah Fader.

3 pounds ground beef 

2 cups oatmeal 

2 teaspoon chili powder 

1 teaspoon salt 

2 eggs

Minced onion, to taste 

1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk

Barbecue sauce 

Combine all ingredients through the evaporated milk in a large mixing bowl and mix until well combined. Form into balls. Place into baking dish, cover with your favorite barbecue sauce and bake at 350 degrees for about an hour.
