So…um…would you be offended if I asked if this was an April fool’s joke? It seems way outside of the box!! ;o)
Happy April Fools’ Day!
April Fool’s…. please, lol :)
haha….I fell for it…April Fools!
Gross …
This is for April fools day, right?
I just started jollily clicking on recipes and was thinking “Oh my…” Then it hit me :P
Very out of the box….kinda April 1st appropriate?!
I just don’t understand why ham and banana casserole only received 2 stars ;-)
Happy April Fool’s! I get it! I love the recipe that calls for “Pork Lung”…hee hee!
LOL! You ROCK! :)
Can’t wait to warm up that Bopis.
I really enjoyed your menu. BTW, Happy April’s Fools Day!
Interesting menu this month…Spam, Ham & Banana Casserole..
Wow! I don’t know what to try first … cheesy banana cass or liver & onions;0)
Any chance it’s an April fool’s day joke?? Please…
HA HA! All of that is GROSS!!! I didn’t figure out what was going on until I got to the Hot Wrap Up recipe card. Just figured you must be preparing for an inexpensive trip to Hawaii (where they eat lots of Spam) or had found a great Spam sale.
After reading some of these recipes I thought this has got to be an April fools prank! Way to find the strangest recipes out there! Thanks again for all your hard work. I always check in on the 1st!
Okay, is this an April Fools Day joke?
Mmmmmm…nothing like canned meat! ;)
Sounds great! One problem, the link for the red lentil bruschetta with poached eggs brings you to the recipe for the Loco Moco.
Love your blog!
ah, I should fix that it really is too good to miss.
spam spam spam bacon eggs spam baked beans sausage spam eggs spam eggs. spam spam spam spam wonderful spam spammity spam.
BUT I DON’T LIKE SPAM!!!
Ok… I’ve got to go watch some Monty Python now.
Hehehehehe the Bopis. This is actually good:), but it’s kind of tricky to make this dish. This dish is spicy, check this out http://overseaspinoycooking.blogspot.com/2008/05/bopis-kandingga.html.
Riza, promise me you will NEVER make this for house church!
LOL! Kerry would definitely agree with you. Fortunately, i don’t know how to cook this dish, so I can promise not to make it.
VERY funny!!! I was really scared before I realized it was a joke, lol. I thought YOU had gone Loco!! ;)
Happy April Fools Day!
I got about half way through and thought what is she thinking this month. That is when I realized what day it is – Happy April Fool’s Day.
Today was my frist time on your site and whoa! When I read the menu for April my eyes popped out of my head. Very scary. Glad it’s a joke.
Welcome! The new REAL April menu will be up by tomorrow.
I was going to ask if there was going to be a real April menu! I was hoping I didn’t have to live with that for a month!
Halleujah..you had me way worried..I came off from a really hard day of work and thought I would peek and see what you had planned…I was gagging…I thought you really went over the bend.
Love it! Thanks for having a sense of humor. Started with the February menu and both the kids and I have loved it!
I totally fell for it until I got to the recipe where the girl put it the meal down the garbage disposal!!! Got me!!!
You are brave, you got really far down the list! Spam? For breakfast? You have got to be kidding! :)
I totally fell for your april fools! I thought maybe we just don’t have the same tastes that I thought we did! Thanks for the good laugh though!
You know… I would have totally made the Liver and Onions… love that stuff! :)
That is just gross! :)
