So Aliya learned today in preschool that it was April Fools day. So she decided to take this egg and put goodies inside and then used one of her glue sticks to glue it toghether. Then she waited impatiently for me to discover it.
IT WAS SUCH A FUN APRIL 1ST at the SAINT STUPID DAY'S PARADE in SAN FRANCISCO. There is no other event in the world where folks gather to HAVE FUN and poke fun at the imbedded horrid capitalist explotation of the world. NO VIOLENCE just FUN...
Everyone came in costume...ADDA came as a REPUBLICAN BURNING IN HELL (which we all know in our deepest of hearts is where all REPUBLICANS and RIGHT WING A-0's will end up) !
Everyone gathered at the EMBARCADERO then proceeded to the WORKERS STATUE...then to the OLD STOCK EXCHANGE for the wonderful spoof...SOCK EXCHANGE...everyone tossing old socks in the air ! A RIOT!
Onward to the BANKER's HEART...the big, black marble rock in front of BANK OF AMERICA...where everyone tossed their loose pennies at the banker's greedy heart!
There was tons of good fun, great signs, good vibes, political statements, and incredible costumes
(BTW...so much more fun, much better and more creative than the WONDERCOM folks who have to rely on someone elses creativity! geesh)
We looked out the front door this morning and saw this (neighbour's house blanked out for privacy reasons). Details in Blatherings today.
Fruit fools, a combination of fruit puree and whipped cream, were popular in the mid 17th century in Britain. Historians disagree on why the dessert is called a fool, but a fool it is.
The earliest known recipe for a fool calls for gooseberries, but alas and alack, I have no gooseberries in April, so strawberries and raspberries were pressed into service.
Having the underwater casing on the camera allows one to poke it over the side and get some good shots.
