April Fools Day

April Fools!

Tomorrow is the classic day of tricks and pranks. While your tricks may be a little more low-key, here are some all-time best April Fool’s Day pranks:
- Pasta on Trees:
In 1957, a well-respected BBC news show, Panorama, declared an abundance in an important Swiss crop: spaghetti noodles from spaghetti trees. After including footage of Swiss farmers pulling the fruit off the trees, many viewers called and asked how they might grow their own spaghetti trees.
- You Can Ring This Bell:
The Taco Bell Corporation announced to in 1996 that it would be purchasing the historic Liberty Bell and renaming it—as the Taco Liberty Bell. Outraged citizens were only assuaged when Taco Bell asserted it was a joke. When asked about it in a press meeting, White House Press secretary Mike McCurry dryly responded that the Lincoln Memorial had also been sold and would henceforth be called the Lincoln Mercury Memorial.
- Extra Fun(nies):
In 1997, comic strip readers opened the funny section and saw that their favorite strips looked different. In a grand move, forty-six comic strip writers had swapped strips for the day. Garfield could be found in Blondie, eating Dagwood’s sandwich, and the Family Circus mother was found, with an oddly Dilbert-like hairdo, telling young Billy that he needed to “work cuter, not harder.”

Chapstick Jello

Okay, weird name, I know. However, I made this jello at Thanksgiving and my older sister said it had the consistency of chapstick. We all laughed, so hence the name. I don't think it really has that consistency, and I'll tell you that the kids LOVE it. What's even better is that it's ready in like an hour, no kidding. I hope you enjoy!

Recipe:
(3) 3 oz. pkgs. jello, any flavor
(3) 1/2 oz. pkgs. Knox unflavored gealatin
(3) cups boiling water
(1) cup or 1/2 pt. whipping cream (this is the kind that you pour out of a carton, not Cool Whip)

Boil your water. Stir in the knox gelatin and then the flavored jello, and stir well. Pour into a 9x13 sized pan. Add in whipping cream and stir well. Place in the fridge until set up. Cut into 1" cubes, and enjoy!

(My computer isn't reading my SD card, so I'll post pics as soon as I figure that out.)
