April Fools’ Day Dinner
By:   Jennifer Anderson

For some April fooling that your family won’t soon

forget, get ’em when they may be least expecting it

–at the dinner table!

Most historians agree that April Fools’ Day began

when the Christian world adopted the new Gregorian

calendar. According to the old calendar, the New Year

was celebrated in the spring for eight days

(the final day of celebration being April First),

but because the new calendar was so different,

the date of the New Year was changed to January First.

 

Many of the people who lived in the countryside

didn’t know of the change for years, and continued

celebrating the New Year during the spring. Those

"in the know" thought this was hilarious and started

to call the April celebrators "fools."

 

From then on, these people began to go of their way

during this particular season to make friends believe

something that was false. And April Fools’ Day was born!

 

Make Dinner Look Like Dessert

Everyone will look at you wide-eyed when you serve

dessert first. But, surprise! It only looks like dessert…

 

The Meatloaf Cake

What you’ll need:

 

Two round cake pans
Your favorite meatloaf recipe
Mashed potatoes
Ketchup
Cherry tomatoes

Prepare your favorite meatloaf recipe
as you normally would, but, before baking,
divide the mixture into the two round
cake pans and pat it flat.

 

Bake as usual, but shorten the cooking time

    (these thinner meatloaves won’t take nearly as long to cook).
While the meatloaf is in the oven, make
    a batch of mashed potatoes, adding a little
   extra milk to them and whipping them with
   an electric beater until they are fluffy and spreadable.
When the meatloaves are done, invert one of them onto

   a round plate.
Cover the meat with a thick, even layer of mashed potatoes.
Place the other meatloaf on top of the
  potato layer, and finish frosting the "cake"
  with the remaining potatoes.

Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes to look like cherries.

Just before serving, decorate the top of your cake with ketchup.
Write a personalized message, or just
a simple "Happy April Fool’s Day!"

:: Synopsis
A nonstop profusion of hilarious calamities,
coincidences, and misunderstandings ensue
when an accident-prone heiress turns a
sheltered scientist’s life upside down.

 

Dr. David Huxley (Cary Grant) is a straitlaced paleontologist

juggling three important events at once: the arrival of an

extremely rare bone needed to complete his brontosaurus

skeleton;a meeting to ask for a million dollars for his

museum from a wealthy donor; and his impending marriage

to the humorless Miss Swallow (Virginia Walker).

 

Into David’s lifecomes Susan (Katharine Hepburn),

a free-spirited young woman who seems to bring trouble

wherever she goes. Thanks to Susan, David finds himself

involved in one ridiculous situation after another,and soon

the two are prowling around a country estate looking for the

missing dinosaur bone, hunting for a lost pet leopard named

Baby, and somehow falling in love.

 

Grant and Hepburn form a sharp-witted and
hysterical comic duo, and Howard Hawks
directs BRINGING UP BABY with the control of a master,

creating a shining example of brilliant screwball comedy.
