We are so overwhelmed
with all the supportive and encouraging emails and postings from
our visitors that we felt it was time to say Thank You to you.
So each month we will be selecting someone and making them an
Honorary Shacker. So what does that mean? Well, we have a very
special wallpaper created by Patches and a matching screensaver
created by Lady Di as a special gift for them for their support
and for visiting us here at The Shack. Because without them, we
may not be able to offer all the adware and spyware free files
and downloads that we do. |
| This month, Fairaday nominated Christine. So
Christine, all of us at Theme Shack want to thank you for
your support and kind words and we hope you enjoy your gifts. |

Foolery History
Most historians agree that April Fool's 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 out of their way during
this particular season to make friends believe something that
was false. And April Fools Day was born!

.RECIPE
OF THE MONTH
The Meatloaf Cake
submitted by Fairaday
Make Your Dinner Look Like Dessert
Everyone will look at you wide-eyed when you serve desert
first.
But, surprise! It only looks like desert
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Two round cake pans |
Mashed potatoes |
Cherry tomatoes |
|
|
Your favorite meatloaf recipe |
Ketchup |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
1- Bake as usual, but shorten the cooking time (these thinner
meatloaves won't take nearly as long to cook).
2- While 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.
3- When the meatloaves are done, invert one of them onto a round
plate.
4- Cover the meat with a thick, even layer of mashed potatoes.
5-Place the other meatloaf on top of the potato layer, and
finish frosting the "cake" with the remaining potatoes.
6- Garnish with cherry tomatoes to look like cherries.
7- Just before serving, decorate the top of your cake with
ketchup. Write a personalized message, or just a simple "Happy
April Fools Day!" |
