April Fool's Meal

A little late on this one, but thought it might be fun for a birthday, or other event too:

Hamburger Cake

When your family sits down to dinner and takes a bite out of these "burgers," don't forget to yell, "April Fool's!"

Ingredients 1 package (9 ounces) yellow cake mix
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
6 large (4-5 inches in diameter) molasses or chocolate crinkle cookies
1 tube (4.25 ounces) red decorating icing
2 kiwifruit, peeled and sliced

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Baking Time: 20 minutes
Makes 6 cakes

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Coat six 4-inch round ramekins with cooking spray. Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Divide cake batter evenly among prepared ramekins.

2. Bake cakes until golden and centers spring back when touched lightly, about 20 minutes. Remove cakes from ramekins; cool completely on wire racks.

3. Cut each "bun" in half. Brush top of each bun with some corn syrup. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

4. Place cookie "patties" on bottom halves of "buns." Spread red icing "ketchup" on top of each "patty." Cover each with top half of "bun." Place on individual serving plates. Arrange sliced kiwifruit "pickles" next to "hamburgers."

Main course!

THE MAIN COURSE
For the chicken nuggets and vegetables, you'll need to purchase some peanut butter logs and peas-and-carrots candy mix. (Both candies are sold by the pound at most candy stores.)

On each dinner plate, arrange four or five peanut butter logs and a small handful of the candy mix. Right before serving, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt to each plate. Top with gravy--a spoonful of caramel sauce or butterscotch topping.

REFRESHMENTS
The last laugh is sure to be yours when your kids try sipping this colorful beverage. It's actually flavored gelatin, so you'll need to prepare it ahead of time.

Dissolve a package of dessert gelatin according to the directions on the box (orange to look like iced tea; raspberry, strawberry or lemon to resemble fruit punch).

Pour the liquid gelatin into drinking glasses, then place a plastic straw in each. Set the glasses on a tray in the refrigerator until the gelatin firms up.

Thanks to Amanda Holifield for sharing this recipe with me!

Carp in a Can.

This is a method of fixing Carp, so more people will enjoy this very great tasting fish. There are full of bones & taste like mud. Fiction: Carp will die in water that is still able to support Bass & Bream. Carp eat fresh vegetation & indicate how free of polution the water they live in is. Also I'm going to tell you how to make those bones disolve :) Use your favorite method of harvest. We are trying to put up enough for winters use. So I took turns with my Wife Bow shooting them, from the front of a Canoe working the shallow shore line. Now when you start to prepare them just Filet them off the bone & off the skin. You will have a big filet that you can cut in half longways & remove the dark center line some call the Mud vein. That is just like any dark meat, like may sea fish have & tastes strong & not muddy. So each fish will have 4 white filets, & you can cut this meat into 1 inch squares. Place not squish the meat, into pint canning jars or quarts for a big Family. Fill the canning jar with meat, up to within 2 inches of the top of jar & pour heated not boiling water, over the fish & 1 Tsp of salt jiggle and tap the jar to get as much air out & fill with water to within 1 inch from the top of jar. Follow the time and PSI for canning fresh fish, using a pressure canner the USDA has a link from their site on Canning meat. When you open a jar for eating in Winter you can use the carp, for anything you can use canned Salmon or Tuna for. The tiny bones have disolved, & you are not going to believe how good & clean this Carp tastes, in your favorite Canned Fish dishes even Carp sandwiches. Over 60 percent of the World eats and enjoys the taste of Carp. Try it sometime & you will save a lot of money, and you won't get any Mercury in your Carp :) Marturo

Potatoes O'Brien

I can't help it, but I am a potato lover. Perhaps it's because I'm Irish. 5 or 6 medium potatoes 1 1/2 c. milk 2 tbsp. butter 1 c. diced cheese 1 sm. onion, finely diced 1/2 med. green pepper, diced 1 small jar pimento, diced 1/2 tsp. salt Cracker crumbs Cook potatoes in jackets and peel and slice. Combine milk and butter and cook until slightly thickened. Add all other ingredients except potatoes and crumbs. Pour sauce over cooked potatoes and dump into baking dish. Cover with cracker crumbs. Bake 375 for 40 minutes for 4-6 servings. (Note: I can not eat green peppers or pimentos, so I substitute lots of fresh parsley to add color and garnish.) And, since I love fresh ground black pepper, I alway liberally sprinkle dishes with it. Always adjust recipes to your personal tastes.
