Baked Rabbit-Browned Potatoes


Dredge rabbit well in flour, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put in roaster whole. Wash 2 or 3 small aplles, leave whole and stuff into cavity. USE FOR FLAVOR ONLY. Make slits in legs and draw a small slice of bacon through each; add one cup of hot water. Bake about 20 minutes, then add peeled potatoes. Just before potatoes are done, remove cover from roaster so they can brown nicely while baking.

Sweet Potato Balls



Boil potatoes with skin on. When done, skin, mash, and season with salt, pepper, and brown sugar. Add generous amounts of rich cream and melted butter. Roll into balls about the size of a crab apple, putting 1/2 a marshmallow into the center. Roll in crushed cornflakes. Put into a well buttered pan and bake for 1/2 hour turning occasionally.

For Jolie's kids on April Fool's Day

Spaghetti Cake
Your favorite cake baked & cooled
noodles: buttercream frosting, tint a very, very light yellow.
meatballs: fudge with nuts
spaghetti sauce: red jelly, heat gently so it is more spreadable
parmesan cheese: white chocolate, grated

have on hand
pastry bag with coupler
small round tip

Cut cake into smaller pieces and place them into your "spaghetti" bowl. Spread the tin layer of frosting over the cake, don't worry if the cake shows through. Put buttercream in a pastry bag with a small round tip. Squeeze away, letting the "noodles" fall where they may, let some drip over the bowl sides as well. Spread a little jelly over the "noodles".

Let fudge soften, then mold into round "meatballs" and place on top of cake. Roll "meatballs" in jelly. Grate a little white chocolate over all for the "parmesan cheese".

Candy Pizza

1 unbaked pie crust
green dots candies
1 red fruit roll
1/2 cup shredded coconut
yellow food coloring
1 small jar of red jelly

Place pie crust on a round pizza pan. Fold the edges under all around until it looks like a pizza crust. Bake crust according to the package directions. Use a butter knife to cut dots into pieces to look like bell peppers. Wash a pair of scissors and cut fruit rolls into circles to look like pepperoni. Put coconut into a zip-lock bag, add food coloring, close and shake. Spread jelly on crust. Sprinkle on coconut and candy pieces. Place fruit roll-up circles on top.
Cut pizza into pieces and serve.
