CORN FLAKES CHOCOLATE Recipe

In the last Easter when we visited my parents in law, we got "Bird Nest" cookies with our brew. They are very cute, yummy and crunchy! Actually those were just Corn Flakes Chocolate, but my mother in law put 3 of little chocolate eggs on top during Easter session. So yeah, it looks like bird nest! Ha ha!

I asked the recipe then, and here the recipe from my mother in law but with my own creation for topping! He he... You might make your own creation too for topping with another colourful candies or chocolate decorations or whatever sessional occasion decorations. Give it a try! ;)

INGREDIENTS :

bar of chocolate, I'm using 400gr Cadbury Chocolate

10g butter

1 small box Corn Flakes, I'm using 150gr Corn Flakes

HOW TO COOK :

1. Boil a pot of water
2. Break the chocolate and add butter into another smaller pot
3. Melt the butter and chocolate in the pot by putting it on the pot of boiling water
4. Stir well till they become smooth
5. Remove from the pot of water
6. Pour the corn flakes in and coat well with chocolate
7. Place corn flakes on wax paper or paper cup
8. Chill them. Best eaten when it's cold!

Note:
*) If you find your melted chocolate too thick, add more butter. The amount of melted chocolate here is enough for 1 1/2 small boxes of corn flakes.

*)You can coat bananas, strawberries, marshmallows, etc too! Just make sure your fruits are not wet otherwise the chocolate won't stick to them.

My Serenity Prayer in Easter

In Proverbs chapter 3, verses 5 and 6 say, "Trust in the LORD with all your heartand lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths". It sounds so easy thing to understand, but so hard to practice in our real life. It does not need a brilliant brain to accept it, it does need a humble faith to.
Yup!!, as we both nowadays in Easter this year... So just say this little prayer...

God.... grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Amien....

APRIL FOOL'S DAY!!!

Unlike most of the other nonfoolish holidays, the history of April Fool's Day, sometimes called All Fool's Day, is not totally clear. There really wasn't a "first April Fool's Day" that can be pinpointed on the calendar. Some believe it sort of evolved simultaneously in several cultures at the same time, from celebrations involving the first day of spring.

The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in France. Prior to that year, the new year was celebrated for eight days, beginning on March 25. The celebration culminated on April 1. With the reform of the calendar under Charles IX, the Gregorian Calendar was introduced, and New Year's Day was moved to January 1.

However, communications being what they were in the days when news traveled by foot, many people did not receive the news for several years. Others, the more obstinate crowd, refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the new year on April 1. These backward folk were labeled as "fools" by the general populace. They were subject to some ridicule, and were often sent on "fools errands" or were made the butt of other practical jokes.

This harassment evolved, over time, into a tradition of prank-playing on the first day of April. The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the eighteenth century. It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the English and French. April Fool's Day thus developed into an international fun fest, so to speak, with different nationalities specializing in their own brand of humor at the expense of their friends and families.

In Scotland, for example, April Fool's Day is actually celebrated for two days. The second day is devoted to pranks involving the posterior region of the body. It is called Taily Day. The origin of the "kick me" sign can be traced to this observance.

Mexico's counterpart of April Fool's Day is actually observed on December 28. Originally, the day was a sad remembrance of the slaughter of the innocent children by King Herod. It eventually evolved into a lighter commemoration involving pranks and trickery.Pranks performed on April Fool's Day range from the simple, (such as saying, "Your shoe's untied!), to the elaborate. Setting a roommate's alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "April Fool!"

Practical jokes are a common practice on April Fool's Day. Sometimes, elaborate practical jokes are played on friends or relatives that last the entire day. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fool's Day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees.

April Fool's Day is a "for-fun-only" observance. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. It's simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next April Fool!
