For April Fools Day we first presented to the girls an unusual breakfast. It was unusual because we hardly ever serve them eggs for breakfast, one reason is because Molly has a very strong distaste for them. As you can imagine Molly was not very happy when she saw breakfast. However, after Neleha tried the eggs and realized that it was actually just whip cream and peaches molly decided to give them a try.
To carry on the April Fools theme we decided to have an April fools Dinner. This however was not a surprise dinner but rather a dinner of foolishness. Basically we prepared a multi-course meal that consisted of more than just a single main course, sides, drinks, and desert. Then we divided the courses and dishes up and wrote the names of the dishes on strips of paper and placed them course by course in a paper bag.
So course by course we drew out our dinner but this resulted in no ordinary dinner. You see each element of the course was up for draw including silverware, dishware, condiments, another words everything.
Each time we drew we got some other portion of the meal but that didn't necessarily mean that it would all go together nicely.
Neleha for instance drew root beer, crackers and pretzels.
Molly drew an egg roll, tortilla chips, a cup of milk, and salad dressing.
Kristy drew salad and a coke.
I drew an egg roll, mustard, salad topper, guacamole, and nacho cheese. Interesting combinations indeed. The rule of our little game was that we had to at least have one taste of everything we drew. That sometimes made for an interesting jubilee of flavor.
Neleha seemed to be the luckiest of all of us, she drew hot dogs and the hot dog buns.
Molly wasn't so lucky, she drew peanut butter and Nutela but no bread. Hard to make a sandwich without bread.
Kristy drew a hot dog and a piece of bread and appropriate condiments, so that worked out pretty well.
Pizza and mustard was a most interesting twist as I found out.
Neleha later drew a gogurt and peaches, again a pretty complimentary combo.
Kristy made out well with drawing a spoon and ice cream.
We really spread our April Fools Dinner out very well, we had a blast drawing out and putting together our weird combinations and eventually had a great time sharing our creations at the end of the dinner

I think it is safe to say, when our families bounce into each other again, we will be doing this - regardless if it is April Fool's Day.
Love the eggs. Good ideas all around.
